  1. What a great article on the real dangers of AI and how these were already predicted back in 2020. The woman was subsequently dismissed by Google, and after a short while, her former ethics team was disbanded too.

  6. #Google fired her for refusing to retract it in 2020. The firing itself proved the point she was making. The people who pay for the system can't afford to hear what's wrong with it. Every warning from Timnit Gebru's "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots" has now come true. At scale. Hallucinations, bias amplification, environmental cost, un-auditable training data, model collapse.

  11. Striking contrast between the attitude toward parroting in current AI debates (#EmilyBender, #TimnitGebru et al.) and that of Lawrence #Lessig in relation to Creative Commons.

    For Bender & co., parroting signals a lack of creativity and understanding:

    ‘an LM is a system for haphazardly stitching together sequences of linguistic forms
    it has observed in its vast training data, according to probabilistic
    information about how they combine, but without any reference to meaning: a stochastic parrot.'

    dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/344

    For Lessig, it’s a core feature of creative productivity. Writing about how, from Buster Keaton’s ‘Steamboat Bill, we got Steamboat Willie, and from Steamboat Willie, we got Mickey Mouse, and from Mickey Mouse, the Disney Corporation’, Lessig notes how Walt Disney ‘was always parroting the feature length mainstream films’.

    *Lynn Conway* #LynnConway RIP 2024
    ...more info / story...
    =======================

    #trans woman #CPU #designer

    Lynn developed "generalized dynamic instruction dispatch" for IBM in 1966.

    2 years later she was kicked out, just after Robert Tomasulo published the "Tomasulo Algorithm" for out-of-order execution of floating point instructions, utilizing Lynn's work.

    Everyone knows Tomasulo (and he did great work, mind you!), but no-one knows Lynn.

    Later, in technical compsci, you may stumble upon highly integrated circuits, everyone there knows #VLSI but not the inventor, our dear Dr. Conway.

    Her story, her struggle against IBM who took decades to apologize to her for her mistreatment. She transitioned in darker times and pioneered not "only" in compsci. She was what many would call "greater than life". She died early Jun 2024.

    Today let's remember Lynn 🏳️‍⚧️
    Today and tomorrow we fight on ✊
    See also: Talk on Wikipedia: Out-of-order execution
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Out

    The name of Conway is usually dropped and both concepts (register renaming etc. and multiple-issue) subsumed under one, effectively erasing Conway's work. If it isn't then multiple-issue is often erroneously attributed to Yale Patt.

    Klára Dán von Neumann (John von Neumann's wife)

    ========================================

    Considered to be one of the first programmers:

    She was Head of the Statistical Computing Group at Princeton, and worked at Los Alamos laboratory. She programmed the MANIAC I and #ENIAC and coded the first monte carlo simulation.

    The Lost Women of Science podcast devoted an entire season to her, I've been meaning to get around to finishing it:

    =======================
    *Lynn Conway* #LynnConway RIP 2024
    ...more info / story...
    =======================

    #trans woman #CPU #designer

    Lynn developed "generalized dynamic instruction dispatch" for IBM in 1966.

    2 years later she was kicked out, just after Robert Tomasulo published the "Tomasulo Algorithm" for out-of-order execution of floating point instructions, utilizing Lynn's work.

    Everyone knows Tomasulo (and he did great work, mind you!), but no-one knows Lynn.

    Later, in technical compsci, you may stumble upon highly integrated circuits, everyone there knows #VLSI but not the inventor, our dear Dr. Conway.

    Her story, her struggle against IBM who took decades to apologize to her for her mistreatment. She transitioned in darker times and pioneered not "only" in compsci. She was what many would call "greater than life". She died early Jun 2024.

    Today let's remember Lynn 🏳️‍⚧️
    Today and tomorrow we fight on ✊

    The name of Conway is usually dropped and both concepts (register renaming etc. and multiple-issue) subsumed under one, effectively erasing Conway's work. If it isn't then multiple-issue is often erroneously attributed to Yale Patt.

  15. Prominent #Women in Tech Say They Don't Want to Join OpenAI's All-Male Board

    After internal chaos earlier this month, #OpenAI replaced the women on its board with men. As it plans to add more seats, #TimnitGebru, #SashaLuccioni, and other #AI luminaries tell WIRED why they wouldn't join.

    I read that:

    1. This isn't Jack Dorsey's show
    2. The ceo is a crypto grifter

    However, the Cultists of #TESCREAL do very well amongst rich people because it tells them what they want to hear and, of course, these are 2nd wave eugenics movements. Scratch a crypto currency bro, find a Nazi.

    See #DAIR, #TimnitGebru #EmilyBender as well for more info because it's WILD but unfortunately verifiable.

    I personally would put tags like #AI #SyntheticMedia #ChatGPT #TimnitGebru #EmilyBender etc on this but I don't really know a lot about AI, I just know a very small amount about spreading information on Mastodon. 😀

    But that's some quality work there and a most pleasing and excellent phrase.

    To review: ChatGPT is “autocorrect on steroids”, to quote AI researcher #GaryMarcus, or a “stochastic parrot”, to quote #EmilyBender, #TimnitGebru, #AngelinaMcMillan-Major, and #MargaretMitchell. It can mimic the form of a text, but does not understand the function of the text.
