As one of the 98% of blind people who navigate the world without a guide dog, I aim to amplify perspectives often overlooked in traditional narratives. I value solutions that empower autonomy and reject token gestures, pushing instead for bold, revolutionary advancements.
I see technology as a catalyst for change—a way to bridge gaps and level playing fields. I want to see a future where devices not only meet the functional needs of blind people but redefine what independence can look like, offering tools that go beyond the limitations of the past.

Let's do the math.
To train GPT4 - 384,615,000 KWh was burned ($100,000,000+)

That's enough to power:

* 690,000 average residential homes for a month.

* Run a large/huge data centre for 7 years.

Some #LLM models took x2.5 that so multiply all the numbers by that.

That's all of greater Los Angeles residences powered for a month.

There were "only" about 65 energy dumps like that so far.

Yes, I used #ai to do this, why do you ask?

Well, there goes the environment!

As expected, I've started to get requests for adding generative "AI" to my writing app. Here's my response to the latest request:

“I'm sure people will keep trying to generate low quality content with AI. But this project is for writers, and actual writers write their own material. AI relies on stolen work to generate a cheap imitation of the real thing. It will never be added.”

Innovation is only progressive if it raises society's median well-being without harming significant groups. Otherwise, it's simply regress and degradation. #progress #innovation #society #ai

"Being a translator is an invisible and underrated profession. [...]
It is this lack of awareness, the invisibility and lack of insight into our skills, that is making the machine takeover so easy. [...] But in my view there is no price that can be put on the damage that is being done by AI to text production."

Im thinking about #digital #sovereignty, especially* individual and collective digital sovereignty*. Our right to own our own data and content, and what happens to it, who uses it, how its used and how much profit is made from it. Not really about copyright, but about the digital #knowledge #commons and who gets to do what with it in the age of #AI and #GenAI. I feel as if I should write a digital sovereignty union pamphlet, like they did back in the last industrial revolution.

I have been using Mastodon for almost six years. I continue to be amazed at the quality of discourse and the diverse community of educators and folks interested in education in the Fediverse. If you are a person who is accustomed to algorithm driven centralized social networks then Mastodon is going to seem a bit unusual at first. If you are WordPress user you can connect your blog to Mastodon with the ActivityPub plugin. You don’t need a blog to connect to Mastodon. You just need to create an account on anyone of dozens of Mastodon instances that exist around the world. One you are connected to an instance you can find other users and connect to them whether they are on your particular server instance or not.

Mastodon communications are driven by hashtags which many of you are already familiar with. Some of my favorites are #education #edtech #technology #opensource #linux #libraries #writers #writing #oer #nerd #stem #steam #AI #Python #humor #puns #jokes

A toot on Mastodon is typically five hundred characters long. Like other microblogging platforms you may have used before brevity is prized but there’s more than enough space to get your information across and then you use hashtags to let your audience know what your toot is about.

Here’s a list of twenty-one educators currently using Mastodon.

Eric Sheninger – @esheninger@mastodon.social
Sandy Kendell – @SandyKendell@mastodon.education
Wesley Fryer – @wfryer@mastodon.cloud

In conclusion, Mastodon offers a refreshing alternative to traditional, algorithm-driven social networks. Its decentralized nature and vibrant community provide an enriching environment for educators and those passionate about education. Whether you’re sharing your thoughts, discovering new ideas through hashtags, or connecting your WordPress blog with the ActivityPub plugin, Mastodon opens up a world of possibilities. Embrace the change and dive into meaningful conversations on this unique platform. Happy tooting!

When #AI has replaced most office jobs, there will be plenty of opportunity for that feeling to go around :)

friends, can you recommend any articles discussing inaccurate AI checkers? I am trying to help a student who has been falsely accused of using AI to write her papers. incredibly, but not surprisingly, *all* of her writing is now being flagged by these checkers as being produced by AI. I'm trying to come up with ways to help her effectively make her case. #ai

'Grand Theft Auto' Publisher Says AI Won't Help It Make Games Faster

This really hit me hard today. Having to say goodbye to Nerds Assemble. The generative AI companies scraping the depths of the public internet are stealing from people. Pure and simple. Every time we were scraped, it was costing me money and it was infringing on Nerds' copyright. We might do another podcast show in future, but put it this way, we'll be looking for ways to keep it locked down to only people who want to listen to it and not profit from our labour for free.

‘It gets more and more confused’: can #AI replace #translators? - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/nov/11/it-gets-more-and-more-confused-can-ai-replace-translators "A Dutch publisher has announced that it will use AI to translate some of its books – but those in the industry are worried about the consequences if this becomes the norm" great for rough idea, but not for subtleties...
