I think the key word here is "and": So-called "AI" systems don't do what is advertised AND involve labor exploitation AND perpetuate biases AND are environmentally ruinous.
I don't think we should drop the environmental angle.

I think this highlights two things for folks who hate AI and want to stop massive data center expansion
First: when we're talking about AI, it's a mistake to lead with the environmental impact.
It's a bad frame, bc it implies that if the numbers were different, it would be ok. But it wouldn't.

new from me: are data centers going to wipe out water supplies? how much water does ChatGPT really use? and what's going on with that big correction in Empire of AI?
i went long on the conversation around AI and water, and how it's actually about what we want resources to be used for:

If I hear "better together" one more time in a professional sphere, I'm gonna get a personal bubble and go nowhere without it.

@devononabike.bsky.social, this reminds me of our discussion of SAD lights recently!
there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

Ugh, this is very demoralizing news. Our institutions continue to fail us mightily.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Day 2 Medieval style panel designed to look like fragments being reused. Pieces were hand painted using traditional glass paint and a dip pen with silverstain added to the reverse to colour the flowers yellow. Then kiln fired before leading up.

A lawmaker wants to make porch piracy a federal crime and hold online sellers responsible for refunding buyers for stolen packages.

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

Owning the media I love was a thing I always loved doing, but I love it even more as I get to escape the ever-present commercials. Streamers do commercials even worse, too, inserting them at the most bizarre times. Can't even pay to have someone find natural breaks.
