any ideas for more similar, recent readings on social media communication, having to do with intercultural communication (broadly understood)? In my intercultural comm class I like to include readings that are about how ppl could have different norms leading to miscommunication CMC/social media

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

Repetid conmigo: la IA no desnuda cuerpos. La IA no roba datos. La IA no quita empleos. Alguien la entrena, alguien la implementa, alguien la monetiza. Decir “la IA lo hizo” es una forma de diluir la responsabilidad.

Nederland telt bijna 200 datacenters. Vorig jaar gebruikten zij 4,6 procent van alle elektriciteit in Nederland. Tennet denkt dat de vraag naar elektriciteit van datacenters de komende jaren minstens verdubbelt naar 10 tot 15 procent van het totale stroomverbruik in 2030. nos.nl/artikel/2594...

nos.nl

Datacenters gebruiken enorm veel stroom: wat kost het en wat levert het op?

De grootste datacenters gebruiken bijna net zoveel stroom als een kwart van alle woningen, en dat gaat alleen nog maar groeien verwacht de landelijke netbeheerder Tennet.
