AI companies should release environmental impact, commit to clean energy, says UN chief
Reply in thread
This is a good start, but I'd like to see a industry-standard reporting structure & enforce auditing by a non-affiliated third party.
It doesn't go into detail regarding energy & water sources for their data centres, the construction & impact of those data centres (if applicable), nor how they're looking to reduce their environmental footprint. In fact, it clearly states their impact grows the larger the model gets (so their impact is only going to get worse), and their primary method of reduction was user education.
They've provided no reduction goals for themselves, which could include seeking renewable energy sources, water reduction, software optimisation, etc etc. They've also not mentioned their obsolescence planning - what impact equipment life cycling will incur, or how they're planning to reduce those impacts (e.g. disposal, frequency, etc).
The report downplays the generation costs, comparing it to a radish & video streaming. It omits the average tokens consumed per request, and should be sharing individual statistics for both text, image, video, and audio generation categories. These should be compared against industry standards (both AI & Non-AI).
This is also nearly a year old; are they going to be issuing a new report in July? The frequency of the reports should be mandated annual.
Their current report is nothing more than a puff piece to say they're "environmentally conscious" and "transparent", without actually being transparent.

New Zealand scraps world-first smoking ‘generation ban’ to fund tax cuts
Why benefit society when you can just fuck it over whilst profiting from short term gains.
God I hate how this planet functions. Tax the fucking rich already.

Game of Thrones was nearly "destroyed" by pirates illegally streaming HBO content
Zero sympathy. If they wanted to reduce the amount of illegal streamers, all they've got to do is make their content more accessible.
Release it on multiple streaming platforms, not just their own. Ensure its released globally at the same time. And get rid of the geo-blocking.
The lack of reasonable legal alternatives is what drives piracy.

1 in 10 flights taking off from UK are private jets
Majority of private jets carrying 3 passengers or less, releasing 10 times as much carbon per passenger than a commercial flight.
As a peasant, I don't think reducing my carbon footprint will offset the disgusting (increasing) display of greed from the elites.

Europe Is Breaking Open the Empires of Big Tech
Reply in thread
Not the monopolies they hold over the tech industry.
Or the fact they simultaneously hold more wealth than a small country, yet pay miniscule amounts of tax.
Or the detriment to society they influence, both directly and indirectly.
Or the fact they're intrusive ways to scrape our lives, and selling that data to thousands of "partners".
No no... Apparently it's jealousy that's driving the EU, rather than making them accountable.

Oh look...
The US is embedding a totalitarian theonomic government. A new, (soon to be) militarized, hierarchy regime of religious fanaticism and newly created social classes, in which DEI is being brutally subjugated.

Anne Coulter attacks Kamala Harris’s racial identity as not ‘foundational Black’
Reply in thread
Because since 2016 they've learnt there is zero consequences for such actions. In fact, even when there is bad publicity, their fan base is more like a cult following and supports them more.
All the social media engineering they did REALLY dug deep with the impressionables.
