Good question also by @kudusch.de - what price do we at society pay for the CO2 need of AI data centers? Indeed energy consumption is massive (www.technologyreview.com/2023/12/05/1...) - even if Humans also *need* CO2 www.nature.com/articles/s41... - we need a more nuanced & sustainable approaches
AI’s carbon footprint is bigger than you think
Generating one image takes as much energy as fully charging your smartphone.

1/ I promised some research for team #Bluesky. Here we go.
Unpopular opinion: #Debunking doesn't stop #polarization. In fact, our research (and others') shows it can *add* to it. #Prebunking works better—timing is key.
Our #simulation studies shed light on this. 👉

The Wayback machine is such a precious, unique resource - increasingly so as web search collapses.
None of my platform history work (including the Twtr book with @nancybaym.bsky.social) would've been possible without it.
But it's also increasingly precarious. Give them all the support you can!

Latest update, @brewster.kahle.org:
“The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine resumed in a provisional, read-only manner.
Sorry, no Save Page Now yet.
Safe to resume but might need further maintenance, in which case it will be suspended again.

Agreed. What I always liked about ABM is how simple rules can lead to complex emergent phenomena. Using black-box LLMs instead is a caricature of this idea. It may seem intuitive and produces interesting data, but it offers no explanation.
We need to have a science-wide announcement that LLMs networked together in an ABM is *absolutely not* a useful way to study human collective beahvior.

This is what happened in academia in 2016 - research on #disinformation, #misinformation and #fakenews exploded. The field was basically not existing before. I added a potential trigger element to our graph. From a presentation (and forthcoming paper) with @mshu.bsky.social and Johanna Klapproth.
