A brief thread on alt-text.
Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify.

What would it look like if LLMs were regulated? What if people had to take a test and get a license to use an LLM and one of the topics was sustainability. People would have to agree to not be frivolous with their prompts. No more generating sci-fi hamster art for fun

What will happen when people realize that the data centers that are being used for AI are also the data centers being used for cloud computing? And that all our internet and connectivity and having persistent data on the web contributes to climate harm and it’s not just AI that’s the problem?
