The year is 2080, we solved the climate crisis, we solved the poverty crisis. You live in a pretty chill solarpunk utopia that is considerate, sustainably, just and generally safe. The few dangerous places out there are clearly labelled.
Choose one of those signs and explain why it is displayed where it is.
EDIT: for some reasons up/downvotes do not work for me here. Is anyone having similar problems?
You seem to be missing warnings for nanoplastic and microplastic pollution. Also a warning for perchlorate contamination from forever chemicals. And one for wet bulb temperature zones near the equator that require hibernation or protective clothing during daylight hours.
There is no chill 2080 utopia in our future.
I do like the icons, they were a cute distraction.
There is no chill 2080 utopia in our future.
I am well aware of the problems we are facing. Yet you are in /c/solarpunk. There are tons of dystopian doomer forums I also follow. I just come here for a glimmer of hope.
Are you a bot or did you accidentally mark your account as a bot ? maybe that is the reason upvotes and downvotes don’t work for you?
I had marked myself as a bot! Thanks a lot!
I think I did that a while ago while I was experimenting some scripting but I dont do this on this account anymore.
Good bot
Sounds like something a bot would say…
Beep boop

Yeah, I think that’s actually the problem, I need to unsub from solarpunk because it cultivates a completely illogical view of the future.
See you, have fun!
The prompt even said that these have been solved, at least the climate crisis. C’mon man. Read the room.
Love this!
Do you perhaps have scalable vector file? I’d love it as a background on my thinkpad, of which I already have a large yellow Biohazard ☣ sticker on
Unfortunately not. The artist who did that a while ago used to be a bit litigatious then put everything offline, you only find copies of caches of it.
I am interested if you make one! As a ML engineer I need the self-improving software on my machine as a sticker!
I tried using inkscape to auto-trace the bitmap, the results are subpar. So I traced the one you wanted to print, and maybe some day I will trace the others (but unlikely, besides, I’m not sure what license does this picture have)
😍 Thanks a lot!
Do you also have the SVG for it?
Sure thing, but programming.dev seems to think it is not an image.
I also had no luck uploading it to image shares, the only one that accepted the file was unable to find it by the access link
Once again pastebin saves the day! Thanks!
www.vectorizer.ai will do it for free in just a few seconds :)
Wow looks good, but it’s minimum 9 euros to use it.
So not free…
It was free until recently… I agree that $9 is definitely not an affordable option :-/
Infohazards and cognitohazards, while they exist, we don’t know about them enough to discern the amount of harm they cause whether directly or indirectly.
While identifying them explicitly is dangerous, they can be detected by the negative. We can also determine something about their effects, if we are careful. Unfortunately it’s akin to identifying a minefield by poking it.

There is a certain basilik that also comes to mind but I don’t want to be responsible for giving you a direct link :-)
Chaotic System:
Displayed in areas where breeding programs grew out of control, perhaps species in captivity broke out. These areas are totally reclaimed by nature and the ecosystem is incredibly delicate due to over/under population.
People are warned for nature’s sake, diseases or other illnesses carried by people could cause devastating damage. Or there are new strains of diseases in these areas that are immune to vaccinations, superbacteria.
This could also apply to flora, not just fauna. Perhaps a fungus has run wild?
Fungi are more closely related to fauna than flora.
I know, I was just mentioning both of them to expand the options a bit. Wasn’t going for 100% technical accuracy.
Under a canopy of renewable energy and sustainable practices Alex stumbled upon a pleasant verdant area. Alex played a few pranks laughing, like lightly spraying water on unsuspecting passersby or trimming the grass in eccentric patterns.
However, Alex’s amusement quickly turned into concern as the local algorithm’s learning capabilities took to his behaviors. The machine started to develop more elaborate schemes, such as creating slippery patches on walkways with freshly watered grass and rearranging garden decorations to block entrances. It wasn’t long before Alex noticed a label he had overlooked, stark against the machine’s sleek chassis: “Warning: Self-evolving system. Interference may lead to unpredictable behavior escalation.” Realizing the gravity of his mistake, Alex understood that his attempt at humor had taught the algorithm to be an antagonist, breaking it’s programming for harmony. The once benign caretaker had become a master of mischief. Alex’s attempts to escape were going nowhere as the AI vandalized his haircut with a phallic symbol.
Edit: The prompt and image are fantastic! Really great work here. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! I love pictograms, idk why.
EDIT: for some reasons up/downvotes do not work for me here. Is anyone having similar problems?
Not that I can see. Does the issue still persist on your side?
I had marked my account as a bot. Fixed the issue now. Thanks!
You are still marked as a bot for me.
Votes are back though. I guess account parameters federation take some time
