Writing my thesis on Speculations on AI and one of the scenarios I had thought about last month is how there might be people using AI as an aggregated representation of particular demographics as part of user research :))) I really thought this would take a few years, damnn

Is Smiley Shoggoth the "carbon footprint" of AI risk discourse? Billionaire-backed mindrot platformed across billionaire-owned media that feels designed to delay action on, and deflect/distract from the historical, ongoing, and future colonial structures and harms of #AI. Hmm 🤔
A worthy lens through which to better understand the AI debate structurally and historically as 'a desire from the powerful for control, profit, and military advantage' bbc.com/future/article…
Generative AI systems are trained upon vast datasets of centuries of human creative and intellectual work. They should thus belong to the commons, to all humanity, rather than to a handful of powerful for-profit corporations.
Here's a recap of some recent ChatGPT events that, even if you don't care about the moral dimensions, should give investors concern about pumping funds into a new technology that may soon be facing serious legal actions:

This passage describes structures (core/periphery) and functions (disempowerement) of colonization, but appears in an article passionately arguing against the idea of bringing decolonization with us into how we think about AI. I stare at it and don't know where to begin.
Today we launched AI Now’s 2023 Landscape Report. In it, we put forth an actionable policy strategy to confront concentration of power in the tech industry. Read more: ainowinstitute.org/2023-landscape

Ever found the discourse around "intelligence" in "A(G)I" squicky or heard folks pointing out the connection w/eugenics & wondered what that was about? History of it all can be found in this excellent talk by @timnitGebru (w/ co-author @xriskology) youtube.com/watch?v=P7XT4T…
Add the huge amount of energy necessary to train these #AI models and water to cool its data centers and the raw materials for all the machines and cables involved etc… AI technologies are not sustainable

"Default" discussion with LLM re: land= zoning laws, industrial development etc. "Prompt engineer" in word like "Indigenous" and 🤯worldview-shift!🤯the LLM might mention Aboriginal cultural burns, Native American treaty rights, or European colonization impacts on Maori land🤔💡
Weekend Podcast Rec: Michael Running Wolf is intent on preserving the language + culture of #native people. 🎧 to @PJMFnd partner @Obnoxious_Wolf + @techpolicypres's @justinhendrix discuss data sovereignty + appropriation in the age of #DALL-E + #ChatGPT: zcu.io/RAtp
@jeremyphoward The dude who literally has never had any training in "AI" whether it is projects to show for or anything else is telling YOU what you know or don't know about LLMs? And that's the guy who gets to write an op-ed on @TIME advocating for literal air strikes on data centers...
