At #RMIT's Capitol Theatre to watch #TheLibrarians documentary and an incisive panel discussion about it's emotional content - the erasure of queer and LGBTQI voices, of authors of Colour and books that challenge - and the persecution of Librarians.
Librarians as villains.
Librarians as victims.
But Librarians also as the Vanguard for truth and inclusion and knowledge.
Have you read @karenhao book #EmpireOfAI, chronicling the rise of Sam Altman and #OpenAI?
Want to?
It's fantastic - meticulously researched, detailed and an incredible character analysis of one of the most influential people and companies of our time.
My favourite chapter is the last one - what would it take for the Empire of AI to fall?
In #Melbourne#Naarm?
Come see Karen in conversation with @Kobotic presented by #ReadingsBooks, this Friday night at #RMIT.
Entry is free, tix going fast though.
What a brilliant session with @emilymbender in conversation with @Kobotic at #RMIT tonight.
Key takeaways:
- #BenderRule - name the language you're working in
- #AI is not one technology - it's many in a trenchcoat. Be specific.
- Who benefits from the changes wrought by AI and who bears the harms and externalities?
- AI is hype - learn enough to cut through it, ask difficult questions
- "Pile of racist linear algebra"
- Read everything by @karenhao
- Read #TheAICon by Emily and @alex
- Read @CriticalAI
