Apparently this requires restating:
We should not want a European Palantir.
We should not want an open-source Palantir.
We should not want a non-commercial Palantir.
If it is supposed to do what Palantir does, we should not want it.
And I don't care to what extent Palantir's products are shaped by political or profit motives. We know enough to reject its logic altogether.
On my way to #SustainableAI conference @ IWE, University of Bonn
Tomorrow I will give a talk on AI & the #Climate Crisis, discussing AI‘s promises of control and its antirelational character.
If you are there, I would love to connect! Please say hi, or write me :)
📢 ✨ About two months ago I was on The Data Fix podcast @melhogan.bsky.social
We talked about the contradictions “sustainable AI” and its illusionary promises of control.

“We need to fundamentally challenge what this industry & these technologies have been built on over the past several decades.”
At the event "Sustainable AI: Narratives and Impacts," @parismarx & @pschuetze explored whether #AI lives up to its promises. We spoke with Marx on Silicon Valley’s vision, AI’s unsustainable foundations & grassroots hope.

This project grew out of my lecture series at the University of Osnabrück – heartfelt thanks to all the students for their invaluable engagement and enthusiastic feedback.
💬 Ever wondered what Sustainable AI is all about? Is it really such a good idea? And what are its ethical problems?
👇 Watch my lecture on "AI & Sustainability" in the series "Intro to the Ethics of AI" by @RainerMuehlhoff.
Check out the other lectures as well!
✨ On the 22.05. (16-18h) I am at the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin to talk about Sustainable AI together with Paris Marx.

@MSchnetker Hi Max, ich würde super gerne deinen Text “Gene verändern, um das Klima zu schützen?” und dein Buch sum Transhumanismus lesen. Gibt es da eine Chance, die als PDF zu bekommen?

🔍 KI ist mehr als nur Technologie!
Ich habe mit “nd” über ein kritisches Verständnis von KI gesprochen. Besonders die Klimakrise verlangt es, dass wir KI als sozio-materielles Phänomen verstehen. Schaut gerne mal rein!

🌍 Can AI really be sustainable?
No! Why?👇
In my new article, I argue that sust AI perpetuates socio-economic exploitation and exclusion & co-opts genuine climate solutions, reinforcing the status quo.

For those in German academia, absolutely recommend listening to this 👇
“Während andere diskutieren, hat das Institut für Philosophie an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin seine eigene Reform initiiert.”

🌱Beyond Big Tech AI-Futures
AI companies don't hold the exclusive right to shape our future. We need to challenge the bleak reality of AI futurism & prioritize meaningful climate action.

In 'Resisting AI' I wrote that deep learning harms the less powerful in society by applying the speculative logic of the derivative to everyday life. Now AI in turn is driving a bubble in the stock market which, when it bursts, will also cause harm to the rest of us. AI sucks.
“The question is not whether AI application are good or bad for the climate. Instead, we need to see the wider implications within economic, political & social formations. … The result are socio-cultural conditions & an ideology which sustains the status quo”
