This is known hoax, the source is a lie and the real source is not trustworthy in a scientific sense.
What is actually on Wikipedia and by the person claimed as a false source is this:
Funeral rites in animals
While grief is common to many animals, funeral rituals are not. However, they are well documented in African elephants.[14]
Ronald K. Siegel writes that:
one cannot ignore the elaborate burying behaviour of elephants as a similar sign of ritualistic or even religious behaviour in that species. When encountering dead animals, elephants will often bury them with mud, earth and leaves. Animals known to have been buried by elephants include rhinos, buffalos, cows, calves, and even humans, in addition to elephants themselves. Elephants have [been] observed burying their dead with large quantities of food, fruit, flowers and colourful foliage.[15][clarification needed]
Both wild and captive chimpanzees engage in ritualized behaviors at the death of a group member. These behaviors begin with group or individual silence, which may last for hours and followed by behaviors such as distinctive vocalizations; grooming the carcass; solemn visitation and gazing at the carcass by group members; displays; and lamentation-like whimpers or hoo-calls of distress.[6]
Attention to the dead is not unique to elephants or chimpanzees. Dolphins have been known to stay with recently deceased members of their pod for several days, preventing divers from getting close.[8] However, the reasons for this remain obscure. While scientists can observe their actions, the thought processes that motivate them are beyond current study.[16]
Tahlequah (a.k.a. J35), a female orca, carried the carcass of her newborn infant for 17 days.[17]Whether this was a "tour of grief" or merely instinct is debated.[10]
Crows and other corvids also seem to participate in funeral-like ritualistic behavior, including gathering around and holding vigils over the carcass.[9][

I can get some amazing sushi delivered for that price.
Someone still generated it, some ai generated works result from a very complex creative process with a lot of artist effort going into it.
Not this one though, this is minimal effort.
I don't know who Geordi is but pretty sure i have done this.
This is an critique on the gaming industry, not the players.
I remember moving from the first sims to the second which was a spectacular difference, and then the sims 3 expanding on the tech with an open world. You could smell the future on the book that came in the box with the disc that you read on the way home.
Compare the early and modern versions of wolfenstein. The first game was revolutionary, can you tell apart generic stills from the last 3 games?
The image generation portion of this is not the biggest long term problem because there genuinely very dumb. Good training data can mediate this a lot but more importantly.
Image generation does not reason like llms can.
Once the tech is properly matured where fine tuning of details is possible i expect a true llm reasoning component build in that will always specify to the image generation module exactly how the intended image is supposed to look. Including gender and age if those where not user specified.
This does not solve the problem of bias in llm but i want to highlight that the bias in llm-reasoning module of ai is the single most important part that needs to be bias aware, image generation will smooth itself out.
This is somewhat a reactionary rant on “researchers” and people addressing image gen and text gen under the same rules. And as a worst offender judge gpt models based on the output off dalle outputs. However faulty and hallucinatory they all are they are not the same thing.
Thanks for reading.

Disroot is based in the netherlands i believe.
From their page:
“Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
No tracking, no ads, no profiling, no data mining!”
I lack credible sources but I assume in a similar case they just let you in and observe every move you make to make sure you don't overreach the scope of your visit.
Now if you are known public speaker on democracy and are scheduled to speak at universities you may have more trouble but i imagine in this case you either never go there to begin with or at least carry a dummy phone for the time of your travel.
