@Chinmaya_Mishra Congratulations! 🎉

TL;DR? Stuffing generative models into absolutely everything comes with a significant cost to the planet, and we should use fine-tuned models in cases when tasks are well-defined. 👩🏼‍💻
Alternative titles we explored include "InferNO" and "Think before you GPT" 😂

[Sasha Luccioni, PhD 🦋🌎✨🤗 @SashaMTL]

The energy and carbon costs of deploying AI models have largely been unknown.. until now! 🌏🚀
With @strubell and @YJernite, We tested 88 models on 30 datasets from 10 different tasks from different modalities and found some pretty cool stuff!
A thread 🧵:

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie.

Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Today is #EarthOverShootDay!

As of Wednesday, humankind has already used up all the resources the Earth can regenerate in 2023.

This is a stark reminder to take action #ForNature & stop this deadly trend.

Heat waves in three continents have driven the planet's average temperature in July to levels not seen in 120,000 years, scientists say https://t.co/IMX5qsZPig

[Prof. Karl Lauterbach @Karl_Lauterbach]

Italien, Spanien und Deutschland hatten 2022 die meisten Hitzetodesfälle. Mehr als 8.000 Tote in Deutschland, viele vermeidbar. Dazu kommen die, die nach hitzebedingten Schaganfällen oder Unfällen behindert bleiben. Das Problem wird endlich öffentlich https://t.co/iihyyvuuuv

how NOT to report about "AI" 101

[Sasha Luccioni, PhD 🦋🌎✨🤗 @SashaMTL]

At the end of the day, it is a group of rich and privileged people who would rather focus on hypothetical risks to their own way of life than on concrete, present-day harms that are already affecting millions of the less privileged, from floods to predictive policing.

[Mozilla @mozilla]

In 2022 we reviewed 27 mental health apps’ privacy policies. 23 of 27 failed 👎

Well, we’ve reviewed the same apps (and some new) and while there’s some good, there's still a lot of bad❌

Did your fav app step up when called out? #PrivacyNotIncluded

This @thecontinent_’s piece by @simonallison is the most realistic piece I have read on the AI narrative in Africa. He cuts through the ‘AI hype’ to highlight how these western AI technologies being deployed in Africa don’t reflect the needs of Africans, including languages, etc.

[Peer Richelsen @peer_rich]

Remote work was a mistake. After two years of being fully remote, we're now going back to in-office.

This is a hard task because we need to relocate every team member.

Check out our new headquarter and why we are getting back in person.

[PADI @PADI]

Myth: Scuba diving is only for adrenaline junkies and daredevils.
Fact: Scuba diving can be a relaxing and peaceful activity, perfect for nature lovers and anyone who wants to explore the underwater world. ✌🏼🤿

Retweet if you agree.

Das Stichwort Doktorarbeit ist heute ja schon gefallen. Seit Januar darf ich meinen ersten Doktoranden bei seiner Forschung begleiten. In Schweden heißt die Promotionsphase Forscher*innenausbildung und deren Bedingungen unterscheiden sich fundamental von Deutschland. (1/20)

Wow 😯 my article on imminent #GPT4 is being shared worldwide, from Korea to Iran, and folks are discussing on Reddit whether it's plausible.

I can confirm what I heard and saw during the AI kickoff event. Someone from Microsoft Germany contacted me afterward with a "thanks".

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

Exactly nine years ago on Feb. 20, 2014, Ukraine was going through one of the bloodiest days in the three-month-long EuroMaidan Revolution. Also known as the Revolution of Dignity, it is often credited as one of the most consequential events in Ukraine's modern history.
