Solarpunk talk accepted at Chaos Communication Congress

Original: My # 40C3 # chaosCommunicationCongress talk got accepted! Story Seeds vs Climate Slop: How Solarpunk Artists Envision Fu

A speaker announced that their talk 'Story Seeds vs Climate Slop: How Solarpunk Artists Envision Futures' has been accepted for the 40C3 Chaos Communication Congress. The talk argues that searching for images of a sustainable future mostly returns generic AI-generated pictures of trees on buildings, and contrasts this with how solarpunk artists construct more concrete, human-scale visions of the future. The announcement drew attention among climate- and tech-minded communities online.

Why now: Growing debate over whether generative AI produces shallow climate imagery compared with human artists' visions of sustainable futures.
