see the way we gaze at each other @oew1v07 ! Happy memories 💗

I had occasion to watch this https://t.co/FcRH6sr63M again. We gave this talk in 2018. I believe cloud compute hasn't changed a bit.

Just adding to this with a perspective on the impacts of the (lack of) thinking by technologists

This one sentence expresses in words the unease I've experienced for quite some time

"AI research is embedded in a socio-economic system that is divorced from anything deeper than winning its own game"

I love and hate AI at the same time. How about you?

@jharrisonoram @ProfMHWhitworth but what has survived makes quite a compelling collection of words

Coming from the #environmental sciences, it feels like the worlds of #AI and #industry exist in a parallel world

The @McKinsey_MGI assessed impacts may make sense in a world with a stable #climate and #society

But the actual world is volatile, complex and radically uncertain

[Isabel Sargent PhD CSci MIScT (she/they) @DimensionalIz]

Too many organisations behave as if the future is going to be like the past

It evidently will not

Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly keeps rapidly breaking new records.

We need to seriously consider the possibility that this warming spike will be worse than the 1997 and 2015 Super El Niños.

This will turn into record atmospheric heat soon.

Generative AI could unleash the next wave of productivity–unlocking trillions of dollars in value across sectors from banking to life sciences.

The science is clear, we have to send our #emissions over a cliff before the end of the decade if we want a hope of avoiding catastrophic #GlobalHeating

Who does it serve to pretend that we are not going to undergo a massive #economic discontinuity over the coming decades?

@mapmakerdavid Turns out Britainese is tonal language - the meaning is in the tone, not the word
Could be anything from "crikey, that's blown my mind and I need to think about it before I respond" to "I was distracted by some drying paint and failed to hear what you said"

Are you in #academia? Could you take part in a survey my colleagues are running on eco-anxiety in HE Staff?

You must be “employed to deliver teaching and learning, research or in academic leadership within a higher education setting"

@RupertHough That'll be the carriage that the lairy drunk joins

And they'll sit right opposite you

Are you a Home student finishing your course or graduating soon? Consider applying for this PhD. It explores the use of quantum technology gravity sensor data in buried utilities by integration into GIS. Only Home applicants eligible. Link details & apply https://t.co/6NtpOyCeEi

@Jackstilgoe Ha yes, indeed. The behaviour of organisations as optimisation machines - even non-profits

[Jeremy Morley @jeremy_morley]

Great PhD opportunity still open for a UK student with data science / maths modelling interests - great blend of using cutting-edge sensor technology to solve real-world problems in buried asset mapping! And @OrdnanceSurvey support too!

RTs welcome please!

@JKSteinberger Vary it - start light (pink/lavender) or quick-fading (blue/turquoise/green) and gradually add deeper shades as the the old grows out - purple, orange, red.

Well, that's what I do!

A promising appointment

📢Announced today, leading tech entrepreneur Ian Hogarth @soundboy has been appointed Chair of the UK's Foundation Model Taskforce.

With an initial £100m of funding, it will unite industry, academia & gov to pioneer the safe development of AI in the UK.
