AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

right?! it's so wrong to see this erasure of actual artists who are doing significant work on the very topic they're proclaiming to cover

😬 yes, I felt the same way reading the descriptions, "please, tell me this isn't as bad as it looks.."🤦🏻‍♀️

I have the impression they've been attempting to present themselves as "inclusive" in recent years, but settling with the superficial appearance of inclusivity, rather than seeking to really put it into action

I'm so thankful to Alexia Achilleos for her collaboration on the conceptual development of the work. I'm also grateful to the team at Pláka for selecting the work as part of the Aquisições program as well as making sure the process went as smoothly as possible.

The piece was shown in Cyprus and Scotland before finding its permanent home in the collection of the city of Porto. This work was realized within the framework of a European Media Art Platform residency program at NeMe with support from the Creative Europe Culture Programme of the European Union.

I think this is one of the hallmarks of fascism and the discrepancy is actually a feature, not a flaw, in that it invokes an irrational application of law in favor of obedience

the whole "adopt or fall behind" angle is also really funny, as if things functioned as a meritocracy in the first place

Ideologically, generative AI is a 19th century technology: the flawed dream that once you have assembled a supposedly total archive of culture via technical media, you can use it to statistically derive new meaning from patterns of the past

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...
ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”
