I think this is the sort of thing where it might be helpful to say things as loudly and clearly as possible.
So... I've written an open letter to Ecosia Search to point out how environmentally destructive "AI Chat" systems are.

If anyone else wants to co-sign it, especially if you're an academic or professional in a key related field, then I'd really appreciate that - just let me know. Boosts also appreciated.

Yesterday, I wrote about Perplexity AI, a tool that immediately changed the way I search for information.
I walk you through the simple reasons why (with screenshots) in my new email newsletter, AI Sidequest:

Five years ago, New York magazine reported less than 60% of web traffic was human while bots masquerade as people.
On days that the Internet seems particularly unpleasant, it’s helpful to remember that many of the individuals we encounter online aren’t real.

I think #Ai needs to be used to solve problems that are really hard.
Driving a car is pretty easy, I managed it at 17 and others younger.
Writing words, creating art is something we have all done and in the scheme of things relatively easy.
Lets do something really really hard with it.

Hello friends! Are you good at #monitoring and #observability, and *also* interested in #supercomputers, #AI, or #HPC?
My team at NVIDIA is hiring a “Senior HPC Telemetry Engineer”, which is a fancy way of saying we want someone who can help understand what our supercomputers are doing!
Happy to answer questions or chat about the team. We’re doing some pretty cool work.

AI sparks countless questions – social, ethical, economic, and even culinary!
Our proposed #AI law classifies technologies based on risk:
⚠️ Ban on AI systems that threaten citizens, like social scoring or specific facial recognition.
⚠️ Strict regulations for high-risk AI in healthcare, education, and critical infrastructure.
⚠️ Additional transparency requirements for generative AI such as chatbots and image generators.
The proposal is in its final stage. Agreement is expected by year-end.
