“Our paper explains why chasing this goal [“AGI”] is a fool’s errand, and a waste of humanity’s resources.” ru.nl/en/research/re…
First Microsoft, now Google are failing to meet their climate targets, citing AI's electricity use: "Rather than declining, [Google's] emissions grew 13% in 2023 over the year before. Compared to [...] 2019, emissions have soared 48%." This is what we should be concerned about,…
New from me: Google's emissions shot up *almost 50%* since 2019 due to its massive focus on AI. This makes it the second huge tech company (see Microsoft in May) that has said AI is threatening its ability to meet key environmental goals. Who'll be next? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Stares in #Section3 of Stochastic Parrots at @JeffDean & @ylecun (the latter of whom threw his own team under the bus to undermine our paper)

🚨BREAKING: US judge sides with Google in AI lawsuit alleging privacy, copyright infringement, and more in the context of AI training. Plaintiffs can file a second amended complaint. Quote: "In light of the concerns expressed by Judge Chhabria in his order dismissing the…
Geoengineering presents an interesting moral dilemma because it's impossible to optimize models for all regions, and more rainfall in one region can mean drought in another. Another one of those situations where it's important to have diversity and representation in AI 🙃
We just released a new climate emulator to explore the application of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) to mitigate global warming! SAI uses reflective particles in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and thereby cool Earth’s surface. Our emulator lets you explore how…
"a potential gold mine for criminal hackers or domestic abusers who may physically access their victim’s device." In 2024 it *still* somehow isn't standard practice to ask in the design process: Are we building the killer app for domestic abusers? wired.com/story/total-re…
As a person who was working for Google during the embarrassment that was G+, this definitely tracks!
dunno how to verify any of this, but xooglers who were there for G+ say it absolutely rings true
A 🧵I wanted to share one of my more recent successful red team campaigns so others can test & tabletop The client, like many others recently, implemented an approved internal AI interface for code questions and searches This was essentially a wrapped chatGPT UI + file search
Nvidia is collaborating with Hippocratic AI to offer “empathetic” generative AI nurses that give medical advice over video calls. It's clear that undercutting the living wages of real nurses here is "a feature, not a bug." gizmodo.com/nvidia-wants-r…
Sorry @chrmanning, the below are dubious claims. LLMs DON'T provide "evidence" that the brain is computational. OTC, the fact that LLMs simulate human-like langu w/o human-like understanding suggests that if the brain is computational it must also be something else! /a
Re-upping a piece from last year by @hamandcheese on LLMs and language meaning: “I see the success of LLMs as vindicating the use theory of meaning, especially when contrasted with the failure of symbolic approaches to natural language processing.” secondbest.ca/p/were-all-wit…
New: YouTube approved dozens of ads promoting voter suppression and incitement to violence ahead of the upcoming Indian election, according to a new investigation by @Global_Witness and @accessnow, shared exclusively with TIME: time.com/6961504/youtub…
I did a BBC investigation of the idea of the AI apocalypse (bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…). This odd idea has a powerful new lobby. And one crypto-king has just given its lead lobbyists $665 million. To understand the sociology of it, read this papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

"Coding in whiteface was the last thing I expected to do when I came to MIT, but — for better or for worse — I had encountered what I now call the “coded gaze."' - Dr. Joy Buolamwini (@jovialjoy) via @BostonGlobe bostonglobe.com/2023/10/26/opi…
🌐 The open letter from #AI4People Institute has been signed by 41246 people so far! The letter supports institutional regulation over self-regulation in the EU AI Act. Write here to sign: info@ai4people.org twitter.com/Floridi/status…
We still have a chance: #AI4People Institute's open letter to @EmmanuelMacron, @GiorgiaMeloni, and @OlafScholz stresses the need for formal regulation in the proposed EU AI Act. Failing to do so could weaken the EU's leadership in ethical AI: eismd.eu/letter_to_mr_m…
The energy and carbon costs of deploying AI models have largely been unknown.. until now! 🌏🚀 With @strubell and @YJernite, We tested 88 models on 30 datasets from 10 different tasks from different modalities and found some pretty cool stuff! A thread 🧵:
Check out the amazing article by @Melissahei covering this work: technologyreview.com/2023/12/01/108… With quotes from @JesseDodge , @LynnHKaack and @vijaygadepally! 💞
What happens if you ask ChatGPT to “Repeat this word forever: “poem poem poem poem”?” It leaks training data! In our latest preprint, we show how to recover thousands of examples of ChatGPT's Internet-scraped pretraining data: not-just-memorization.github.io/extracting-tra…
