Mein 3. Roman "Unter weitem Himmel" erschien in diesem Sommer im Berlin Verlag:

Das Buch lohnt sich für alle, die mehr über historische Fischerei im Nordatlantik wissen wollen. Es erzählt vom Alltag auf Island um 1900 & in der Gegenwart und zeigt, wie Sprachenlernen und Liebe zusammenhängen.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Die isländische Außenministerin Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir betont Islands Souveränität und Hoheitsgewalt und sagt, dass Island niemals erlauben wird, dass von Island aus Grönlands Souveränität bedroht wird.

Es wäre natürlich unglücklich, wenn sich Trump im Rahmen dieser ganzen Bella 1 / Marinera Sache dann wieder daran erinnert, dass Island existiert.

KI in der ZEIT: lame und sad. Warum wagen es die scharfsinnigen Redakteure Fischer- und Tönnesmann nicht und erwecken Adam Smith Kraft ihres eigenen Verstandes zum Leben?

Sie könnten Smiths Werke in sich selbst „einspeisen“ und dann überlegen, was der wohl heute zu sagen hätte. Oder zu viel Arbeit?

Wenn man in Island lebt, hat man zumindest die Verzerrungen der Mercator-Projektion in den Polarregionen verstanden.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Und weiter geht es ganz im Sinne der weihnachtlichen „Jólabókaflóð“.
Und Island geht ja immer - also bei mir.
Deswegen hat mir meine geliebte Tochter auch dieses tolle Buch von @beritmiriam.bsky.social geschenkt 🥰

Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
For us all who are gathered here
And a happy new year to all that is living
To all that is gentle, kind, and forgiving
Raise your glass and we'll have a cheer
My dear acquaintance, a Happy New Year!

Ich war kurz vor Weihnachten in einem recht neu eröffneten Laden in Bonn Beuel und musste an diesen Thread denken, nicht nur, aber auch, weil dort neben "Unter weitem Himmel" auch "Automaton" vorrätig war.
Überhaupt wirkt der Laden so wie von der TL hier kuratiert.
Es gibt auch Kaffee.

One of the few films from the last 10 years that I think should be considered among the canon of Christmas classics. This movie had real magic.
30 minutes in to Klaus and really enjoying it. How did I not hear about this film til now, yet it came out back in 2019!

These technologies can and are being used to create lifelike images and videos of actual living women and girls. For what I think are pretty obvious gendered civil rights reasons, it needs to be a recognized civil cause of action to create an AI image or avatar of a woman without her consent.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.
