this is a very thoughtful thread that explains why Orange contracting Meta and OpenAI to fine tune their llms for African languages is a bad idea and harmful to African researchers and language speakers
I hope I am not late to the party (was away post-quals chilling) but here are some thoughts on why this is bad IMO:

First, a disclaimer that I am writing this as an African who is a speaker of multiple African languages, NLP researcher of African languages, and HCI researcher focusing broadly on..
this is a green flag for openai & meta to formally be arbitrators of our languages & mass exploit the population (& researcher that've poured their souls into low resource languages),all to throw unreliable AI that has so far proven to result in more harm than benefit

Increasing cost of use just means rich cunts get to use them. Just ban the fucking things.
“These are vehicles that take up more space, they cause more damage to our roads, and if they happen to hit a pedestrian they’re likely to cause more serious injuries”

Good reasons why the answer is yes. Also why we need regulations that bring down the size of cars on our road.

One of the expertise sets we need to understand is about to be massively disrupted is the nexus of climate philanthropy, advocacy and organizing.

I'm fairly sure that what is coming will not look like the activism and advocacy we're used to seeing....
Real climate action and ruggedization are disruptive.

In a huge number of fields, the new doesn't adapt the old to the climate emergency, it replaces it.

For instance, clean energy isn't just the oil industry but with wind turbines. It's a different industry, entirely.

Whether Biden’s reasoning for pardoning of his son is valid or not who can blame him for doing so after seeing what Trump and his criminal family have got away with.

What if I told you that the only reason I am bald is that I’m afraid of a Ratatouille situation? What if I told you that I’d have so much hair if not for the fear of a rat using me like a puppet? These are modes of control, Neo. This is how they manipulate us. Ratatouilles, Neo. Rats that pull hair.

a character who gets tricked into giving the fey their “name” but they haven’t realized they’re trans so the fey try to use the name and it doesn’t work because it’s a deadname that hasn’t “died” yet and it’s not their true name

the coolest thing about being transgender is getting to a choose name for yourself. that's a really powerful act that a lot of cis people never get to appreciate because they take for granted the name they were given. even cooler is getting to decide multiple because you can just change them.

I know it's a bit taboo to talk about, especially because the conversation can quickly veer towards ableism, but we're really going to have to discuss how repeat covid infections on so many people may be causing cognitive decline on a large scale and how this may be affecting society overall...
