A thing that worries me a bit is with AI in rise so much, many people and companies talk about it like "their AI". Like it's their property and they own the code but it's not..

There are only a few companies on the planet who are "in control" of the code and data, those are the ones who "own AI", not the consumer

There is no "your AI", there is only "their AI" that you work with, don't forget that!

@stux AI in the years old form of spell check can’t even ducking get it right yet. It isn’t the premise of AI that I disagree with. It is the fact that it is trained on stolen art and content and that the data centres use the equivalent of a countries use of power and but more importantly water to run.

Write this law, no AI no crypto un;less you build new renewables to power the electricity demand.

Not a credit, not an agreement with a forest, not some weird contract where penguins dont die in exchange for footprint shoes, just build it.

New project, gigawatts, terawatts.

Build it.

Building New Energy is THE ONLY measure in fighting climate.
The ONLY measure. Build it all, now.

@kevinrns Agree but that still misses the water usage. You can build a solar far on a dessert but it won't give you water.

"I'm so angry at Biden, I'm going to let Trump destroy democracy, demolish the environment, weaken our allies, and dismantle healthcare. That'll show the Democrats!"

    @flockofnazguls AI - stealing creative content and spewing it as it's own. Crushing it - sounds right. Tone deaf AF.

    Court about to begin. The defense table, from left to right: Blanche, the defendant (ie Trump), Bove, and Necheles (notably farthest from Trump). Gaggle of photographers shoot Trump, inches from his face: he maintains an implacable and dour expression. ADA Josh Steinglass and his team now enter: Steinglass is very much the lead here.

    Just watched the Autism From The Inside video about the SciShow episode.

    Really great response video IMO. I've sent it as a reply to the We're Here email list too in the hopes it does make its way to the SciShow team and folks are listened to.

    Video is here:

    @alexisbushnell Thanks for the link. Been following Paul for a bit now. @actuallyautistic

    alison,
    @alison@mastodon.online avatar

    @alexisbushnell Just watched the video. As always Paul does a great job with a measured response to the original. Funny thing with SciShow putting so much emphasis on the 90% thing. In other studies if something showed 90% not relevant (actual far less) the theory would be dumped by the end of the day. The torture therapy discussion had me nearly out of my skin.

    Reinhold Niebuhr was a leading American public intellectual for a number of decades in the 20th century. He wrote:
