I love a good transcript. Gebru nails a lot of high points.

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.

Was für ein guter Beitrag über reale Gefahren von KI und wie diese 2020 schon vorhersagt wurden. Anschließend wurde die Dame von Google entlassen und mit bisschen Wartezeit auch ihr ehemaliges Ethik Team aufgelöst.

#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.

CodeAI Branding
ai-curriculum-topicsI love how Code.org has created AI units for those of us ready and interested in bringing our students to this area.
However, it is fraught. Many critics view “Artificial Intelligence” as a marketing term for the effort to throw so much compute at LLMs that they turn into GAI, a strategy that is as wasteful from a computing standpoint as it is destructive from an environmental, energy, and human resource one.

This is a long post about #AI, but if you have any interest in the topic, this is a very enlightening read.

@teledyn Thanks, didn't know this. Her story is also well documented on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru and even her Mastodon-account is there @timnitGebru

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.'https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922
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’.

dear #TimnitGebru posted something need to read at another site
"We don't Want an AI Demo..."

There are some passages that seem to predate Latour and Stiegler by 4-5 decades, and it is positively uncanny to read this in a seminar where we discussed Timnit Gebru's great - and very recent - "TESCREAL" essay in the previous week.

#Ethical #AI Requires Institutional and Structural Change #timnitgebru
The computer scientist discusses breaking down the power structures that use AI to exploit communities.

And people always forget that #TimnitGebru has a PHD. She got it in 2017, right before the bombshell #AI paper that was too good for #Google.

Just a reminder that people who work and run things in the #tech industry are not a monolith: most of us are not "#TechBros".
Influential people in the tech industry range from billionaire moron #ElonMusk to civil-rights advocate #TimnitGebru (PHD), and despite any faults I have ever found with her, I would much rather be compared to Dr Gebru than moron Musk.

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.

When, in some distant or near future, we do create #sentience, that it will have been created lacking any "pro-human decency" will be to our detriment.
"...in my field there is a concerted effort to make it [seem] like magic, it's this obfuscation that happens on purpose...it's not magic."
