I had a great 3 days at the #SustainableAI conference @iwe-bonn.bsky.social

Big thanks to the organizing team, it really was a pleasure to be there. I met and reconnected with wonderful people.

I had the chance to give a talk on AI‘s more fundamental problems in regards to the climate crisis.

On my way to #SustainableAI conference @iwe-bonn.bsky.social

Tomorrow I will give a talk on AI & the #Climate Crisis, discussing AI‘s promises of control and its antirelational character.

If you are there, I would love to connect! Please say hi, or write me :)

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

📢 ✨ About two months ago I was on The Data Fix podcast @melhogan.bsky.social

We talked about the contradictions “sustainable AI” and its illusionary promises of control.

Data is not neutral, "AI" is not sustainable, "AI" fixes are a capitalist fantasy...can we stop gambling billions on the transhumanist AI cult and start working on social and political solutions to help people & the planet. Good podcast with @paulschuetze.bsky.social

DAS sollte heute die Schlagzeile überall sein. Und bei der ARD hätte man sagen sollen: „Ohne ein klares Bekenntnis zur freiheitlichen demokratischen Grundordnung von Ihnen ist das Interview hiermit beendet. Von weiteren Einladungen sehen wir ab."

Body text: "the window to stay within 1.5°C is essentially shut"

Headline: "Only 3 years left – new study warns the world is running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change"

Really thought we had put stuff like this behind us. Try to read the (good) article and ignore the headline
Only 3 years left – new study warns the world is running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change
Planet Earth is living on borrowed time, a new global report reveals. The world must stop burning fossil fuels now and take urgent steps to reduce global warming.

If *you* have dealt with AI in your workplace—if your boss is forcing it on you or your team, if it's causing your freelance work to dry up, if a manager is threatening to replace you with it, or even if it's made your life wonderful!—I want to hear about it.

The response to this piece has been wild. It quickly became one of my most-read posts, and I've been hearing more and more stories from workers impacted by AI in tech and other sectors. Thanks to all who've read, shared, and reached out.

May also have a couple new scoops to share before too long.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces.

AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse.

This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

📝 Am Ende zeigt sich ein gesellschaftliches Regime, indem KI Technologien, Ausbeutung und Expropriation eng miteinander verwoben sind.
paulschuetze.bsky.social
📝 Dieses Narrativ verdeckt die fundamentalen sozialen und ökologischen Auswirkungen von KI. Es verzerrt die technologische Realität, verblendet durch eine ideologische Brille.
paulschuetze.bsky.social
📝 Ich beschreibe wie KI immer mehr als unvermeidlicher Fortschritt für die Gesellschaft präsentiert wird. Sowohl in öffentlichen Debatten als auch im akademischen Diskurs. Mit Blick vor allem auf die USA (e.g. DOGE & Thiel) ist das inzwischen keine Neuigkeit mehr.

❓Do you want to know more about sustainable AI?

A few weeks ago, I was at Weizenbaum Institute to talk about the impacts and narratives of sustainable AI.

"Die hiesigen Talente hangeln sich indes von einer befristeten Stelle zu nächsten [...]. Man bangt um die Schließung ganzer Studiengänge, Uni-Bauten sind gesperrt, weil marode, und Berlin streicht allein dieses Jahr [...] 145 Millionen Euro. Das trägt nicht gerade zur Aufbruchstimmung bei."

📣 Wie beeinflusst KI die Zukunft der Demokratie?
Was hat KI mit Faschismus zu tun?
Und wie vereinnahmen Big Tech Unternehmen unsere Zukunft?

Das diskutieren wir gerade bei unserer Veranstaltung am Theater in Osnabrück.
