"If the taking of data without consent is generative AI’s original sin, the widespread labor exploitation is its dirty secret. Lastly, there’s the energy usage, water consumption, and sustainability problems of generative AI." #AIEthics

As we discussed a while back this kind of thing makes me so sad. Human beings are mortal, full stop. Accepting that is a central part of living a psychologically healthy life.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.
AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

This thread unpacks the questionable motives of the author whose guest essay about not voting was published in the NYT today (cool timing, guys! Very patriotic!)
I don't see the point of choosing to publish such a view in a country with comparatively low turnout www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

I just posted a draft of my latest article with Daniel Solove, "The Great Scrape: The Clash Between Scraping and Privacy." We argue that scraping is in fundamental tension to the core principles of privacy and that reconciliation is overdue. We propose a public interest framework for scraping.

“Companies with voice-ordering technology say their AI doesn’t replace jobs — it just frees up workers for other tasks. They also tout secondary benefits.” 🙄 Businesses & other institutions work hard to maintain this lie when the people making these tools explicitly say the tools exist to kill jobs

Their rhetoric is always “let AI do the boring stuff so teachers can focus on the important things.” But then they turn around and claim AI can/should do all of the art and practice of teaching. The vision of AI in education is scale, not learning.

This piece is full of head-scratching quotes, but the strangest is a teacher who asserts that the “ai” tools keep her from bringing “bias” into her grading.

No matter who says that these tools aren’t intended to replace teachers or how many times it’s said, that’s exactly what will happen. (Or it will be used as a justification for eliminating teacher jobs because now teachers can “grade” more efficiently) www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-t...
