Frugal AI • Wim Vanderbauwhede

"The reason why I object to the current push towards wholesale adoption of this 'AI' is because it is profoundly and pervasively harmful: it exacerbates climate change, destroys education, poisons information, erodes income from work, erodes trust, and in doing so hurts our society and economy as well as the environment we need for our existence." but wim tell us what you really think

It Breaks a Village: Bevy's 6th Birthday – fallible

"This attempt to reframe people who are leveraging the cultural-economic weight of an international trillions-dollar spending spree as somehow disadvantaged is an active reframing that one doesn't need to buy into or admit through the door. "AI" Booster positions are bought and paid for and forced into every space with the backing of the most overpowered corporations and professional clout networks that have ever existed. Pushing back against it is what involves sticking out your neck."
