The consideration of #climate effects in relation to energy sources is not a recent phenomenon, as evidenced by the accompanying journal article (discovered by @beeasmarine.bsky.social). Instead of a few centuries, we are seeing rising temperatures within a century. 🧪 #AcademicSky

To understand how AI is contributing to climate change, look at the way it’s being used. The (negative as well as positive) impact of AI is going to be from the applications they’re built for, not necessarily the cost of training. www.scientificamerican.com/article/ais-...

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

AI’s water usage is concerning. Water scarcity is a challenge dealing with a growing population, depleting water resources, and ageing water infrastructures. The concern is also about how AI developers respond to the challenge of water shortage. Thanks to @moisesjafet.com‬. 🧪 #AcademicSky

I have just finished my new book: The Accessibility Conundrum. The Problematic Phenomenon of Information Access and Accessibility. The central thesis of this book is that having access to information does not guarantee its accessibility. 🧪 #AcademicSky #Archivists #Archives #Access

AI results in a large increase of data center power demand, and largely effects natural resources. Training GPT required 1.3 GWh of electricity (550,000 kg of CO2), and 700,000 liters of (largely potable) water for cooling. See: www.vbds.nl/2024/07/30/v... and www.goldmansachs.com/insights/art... 🧪

Labelling of content for LLM's to enhance their search capabilities is important work. While the hourly rate exceeds the Kenyan average, the psychological and mental stress involved is considerable. See also: 'Feeding the Machine. The hidden human labor powering AI'. www.amazon.nl/-/en/James-M...
