is this a real paper? Its got to be a joke, right? a parody? Its literally a request to develop images to be used for propaganda purposes.
from the paper:
> , we aim to help the general population progress towards greater and more visible
public support for climate change migitation steps on a national level, facilitating governmental
interventions and helping make the required rapid changes to a global sustainable economy.
how is this any different than what the Russians did in 2016 with their fake news memes? Its propaganda for a political purpose.
and for those who will say that climate change is going to end the world, yeah, no shit, but that doesn't mean we should develop propaganda technology that could be used for some other political purpose.
like, what if Trump used the tech developed to change people's opinions about muslims?
