The very first citation in this stupid letter is to our #StochasticParrots Paper, "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research[1]"EXCEPT— @timnitGebru@dair-community.social on Mastodon (@timnitGebru) March 30, 2023

Okay, so that AI letter signed by lots of AI researchers calling for a "Pause [on] Giant AI Experiments"? It's just dripping with #Aihype. Here's a quick rundown. — @emilymbender@dair-community.social on Mastodon (@emilymbender) March 29, 2023

The Problem With AI Is the Problem With Capitalism
The Problem With AI Is the Problem With Capitalism
Workers’ fear of new artificial intelligence technology makes sense: that technology has the potential to eliminate their jobs. But if we didn’t live under capitalism, AI could be used to liberate us from drudgery rather than hurl us into poverty.

Putting the power of AlphaFold into the world’s hands
Putting the power of AlphaFold into the world’s hands
When we announced AlphaFold 2 last December, it was hailed as a solution to the 50-year old protein folding problem. Last week, we published the scientific paper and source code explaining how we created this highly innovative system, and today we’re sharing high-quality predictions for the shape of every single protein in the human body, as well as for the proteins of 20 additional organisms that scientists rely on for their research.

But it also threatens to obscure our view of the people behind algorithmic systems and their value judgements.… Continue reading From Black Box to Algorithmic Veil: Why the image of the black box is harmful to the regulation of AI →
