(2021) #StochasticParrots paper several times over the years, but I've never actually read it before. https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922I was surprised to learn:1. It's quite approachable from a non-technical stance2. There is an emoji in the title 3. One of the authors is listed as Shmargaret Shmitchell#StochasticParrot #LLMs #noAI

»Der globale KI-Hype führt dazu, dass Rechenzentren wie Pilze aus dem Boden schießen. […] dieser Rechenzentren-Boom bedroht das Klima: Immer mehr Gaskraftwerke laufen, um die KI-Fabriken der Tech-Riesen zu betreiben. Unmengen an Wasser werden aus unseren Böden gesaugt und die Natur plattgemacht. […] Das Energieeffizienzgesetz verpflichtet deren Betreiber bislang, den Verbrauch von Strom und Wasser zu veröffentlichen und nicht allzu viel Energie zu verschwenden. Jetzt soll das Gesetz auf Druck der Tech-Lobby allerdings wesentlich abgeschwächt werden.«Dagegen gibt’s aktuell eine Petition von @algorithmwatch https://weact.campact.de/petitions/klimaschutz-statt-ki-wahn#NoAI #Klimaschutz #Erneuerbare #KI #Petition
