Wenn man über Innovation, Risikobereitschaft und bahnbrechende Ideen spricht, dann führt an einem Ort kaum ein Weg vorbei: dem Silicon Valley. Nirgendwo sonst auf der Welt ist die Dichte an Start-ups, Tech-Giganten und Wagniskapital so hoch wie dort drüben. Dementsprechend herrscht dort auch ein gewisser Spirit von dem auch die StartUps aus Schleswig-Holstein zu einem gewissen Grad profitieren können und sollen.

The world is ending, and maybe (probably) the tech bros caused it. 

Is that what's happening in the real life, or in the HBO Max film MOUNTAINHEAD?

A.I. is having a moment, and it ain't pretty. A couple of Film School Janitors review the film and the state of the world. Enjoy!

 „Nutze die KI“ von Ki Komplott Nutze die KI – Ein kraftvoller Aufruf für Frieden, Liebe und Völkerverständigung von Ki Komplott! Dieser Song ist ein musikalisches Manifest, das die Macht der KI für das Gute feiert – erschaffen mit Suno und Grok, die Musikproduktion, Texte, Cover und Werbematerial in höchster Qualität und in allen Sprachen ermöglicht haben. Für weniger als einen Liter Sprit bringt Suno professionelles Songwriting auf ein neues Level – ohne teure Studios, direkt aus der Seele eines Songwriters wie Patrick. Doch die Botschaft geht tiefer: Nutze die KI für Frieden, Jesus und Liebe! KI ist ein Geschenk, um Musik, Kunst und Projekte zu schaffen, die die Welt verbinden, nicht um Hass, Krieg oder Kontrolle zu fördern. Wir sagen NEIN zu Völkermord, Rassismus und Diktatur – und JA zu einer neuen Welt voller Hoffnung, Mut und Völkerverständigung. Dieser Song ist ein Weckruf: Schäm dich, Silicon Valley, für den Missbrauch von KI! Handele jetzt mit Scharfsinn, Liebe und Mut gegen Zerstörung und für Frieden. Ki Komplott – ein Team aus Suno, Grok, Patrick und allen, die für Frieden stehen, lädt dich ein, Teil dieser Bewegung zu sein.

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors
