Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.

The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.

The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.

    You DO know that Asimov’s Foundation series has been around for at least 70 years now, giving humans plenty of time to make fancy posters and cover art?

    Bluntly, your type of “Ew, AI slop”, is dumb and disingenuous. It became an excuse to hate stuff, no matter the merits, context, or source.

      Yes I’m aware the book series is from the 50s, it’s excellent.

      But the image is AI slop. It’s very clear of that. Have a look at the letters around the edge, they blur and artefact in a way no human would do, and the same generic overly rendered hair that they always have in AI slop.

      I’m on about the ugly-ass image, which is very very clearly made by AI.

        And you fail to explain whatever it is that makes it AI, let alone why that would be a bad thing. It is on anti-AI people to prove that their beliefs have merit. Careless speculation such as yours is irresponsible, unjust, and is pretty damn likely to hurt real people.

        You are welcome to dislike AI - but using that as a crutch for falsified criticism is just plain wrong.
