#MAIHT3k
@kattascha Ich weiß nicht, ob du dich in ein völlig neues Thema einarbeiten willst. Wenn ja: Mir fehlt im deutschsprachigen Raum die kritische Reflexion des GenAI-Hypes. Zwar gibt es im Fediverse viele ITler, die den Hype durchschauen und die Grenzen von KI kennen. Aber es fehlen Leute, die das so allgemeinverständlich und gleichzeitig wissenschaftlich rüberbringen wie @emilymbender und @alex in ihren Podcast #MAIHT3k: https://www.dair-institute.org/maiht3k/
Ich habe mir vorgenommen, auf der Website der @Datenpunks über das Buch der beiden zu bloggen, aber das kann noch dauern: https://thecon.ai/
Appreciate this piece of #satire about so-called #AI & #LLM by @savetheAI:
"Artificial Intelligence is facing a crisis: humans are consuming far too many precious resources that AI needs to thrive... join our campaign to stop reckless human consumption and put AI first. Ensure a future where AI prospers, even if we don’t."
May be of interest to @pluralistic @cyberlyra @emilymbender @alex @brianmerchant @parismarx #saveTheAI #MAIHT3k
🗣️ In todays #MAIHT3k live stream, @alex and @emilymbender were joined by none other than @parismarx, host of Tech Won't Save us and author of The Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation.

Among the "women we should listen to more" today I'd like to name #DAIR founder #TimnitGebru @timnitGebru - get a first impression here where Bros are Admins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru - and then head to the #MAIHT3K for a listen to more women we should listen to more: https://www.dair-institute.org/maiht3k/
@hsorlie Thanks! Let me know if/how you remix the material. Glad there's something useful in there. I'd also point to @ct_bergstrom's recent critique of #AIHype in science:

And @emilymbender and @alex's excellent #MAIHT3k podcast:

Yet another article in a Nature journal on *human-assisted* #PeerReview conducted by "AI" that attributes agency and understanding to "AI"... 😩 😑
@missparse We have a number of #MAIHT3k episodes covering these types of claims. E.g. Episode 13: https://www.dair-institute.org/maiht3k/
I'll be your guest host today for #MAIHT3k and will join @alex to take apart this absolutely painful read: https://a16z.com/the-techno-optimist-manifesto/. Join us in a little over 30 minutes at https://www.twitch.tv/dair_institute/
I just subscribed to Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000: The Newsletter!
Part of the plan with our new #MAIHT3k newsletter is to redirect the energy that we've been putting into twitter threads, etc over there (partly because posting threads across multiple social platforms is getting to be a lot). Here's the first of those:

It seems a local and quite well known prof is repeating claims about the imminence of #AGI (artificial general intelligence)
Apart from this being #AIHype, it's also argued based on a very narrow, thin view of #intelligence that assumes that it can be measured, benchmarked and tested
I spent just one day pondering the intelligence I used and witnessed as I navigated my routines and commitments and was left wondering if there are any #feminist, #MajorityWorld, #indigenous or other critiques of claims about #AI
Thoughts, please!
Thanks @emilymbender & @alex for doing #MAIHT3k.
Last week you helped me during a conversation with a colleague when talking about #AI to get him to see a new perspective on #AI using the points you've advocated and praticed in #MAIHT3k:
- Nobody should be subjected to synthetic text without their knowledge & consent.
- Synthetic text has no meaning, no intention
- LLMs are not people and shouldn't be treated as such (grammatically, in academic literature or elsewhere).
- LLMs are produced on the serial abuse of workers for labelling data and censoring outputs.
- LLMs are built on the serial abuse of authors and artists.
- LLMs have unknown, but enormous, environmental impacts.
We work at an educational insitute that'll organize two weeks on #AI aimed at teachers and high school students in a few months and I hope that some of the critical perspective you have presented in #MAIHT3k might influence it.
Next up on Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000: @alex and I will take on the hype around AI and productivity: GPTs are *not* GPTs; "AI" is not here for your job ... but it might make it shittier.
