Ecosia’s “Green AI”: false hope for corrosive tech
Why replace human work with fossil-fuel-slurping mistake generators? Ecosia’s “Green AI” is selling false hope for bad tech

So glad that this quote can be added to my forthcoming article on AI and Epistemic Dispossession because I had to say that they will absolutely be using AI to erase science and history but I didn’t yet have the ‘he admit it’ smoking gun

I’ve become obsessed with the disappearing night sky. I miss going outside wherever I was and seeing the stars! Glad to be able to write about this for @us.theguardian.com. Thanks to the kind readers who have already sent me emails about their own night skies. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The night sky is getting 10% brighter every year. We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
If more cities start regulating outdoor lighting, we humans could make the environment better for all living creatures

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

Thank you. #HomelessLivesMatter
Tips for interacting with your neighbors experiencing homelessness:
• Remember that they are deserving of dignity and respect
• Acknowledge them, make eye contact and introduce yourself
• Be respectful of their belongings
• Remember that homelessness is a
trauma
• Don't assume that you know what they need
• Ask if they are all right and feel safe
• Start your conversation the same way you would with anyone else
• Remember there are many reasons people experience homelessness
• Let them know you wish them well

He’s right. Racism is not other people’s problem to bear, it’s our problem to solve, our responsibility to stamp it out every time and everywhere we see it, and to keep our eyes open, looking for it.

It's well started, I think. We can no longer trust any image or video we see anywhere and accounts I would assume to have enough security or political knowledge to not post fakes can't either. The mirrors and smoke are here and well deployed. But, there's us. They can't fake an entire community.

If you pay a human any amount of money to handle this for you and they fucked it up this badly, you would fire them. You would never use them again and you would tell everyone how bad they were. And yet the overwhelming majority of people who use this kind of AI technology will keep on using it.

one of the most depressing aspects of our current moment is just that there is no desire for intersectionality and coalition building. everyone is out to protect themselves and their communities and everyone wants to say the maximum hurtful thing to another marginalized group and it blows.
