Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations.

Nice to speak to @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @desmog.com about leaked documents revealing the capacity of planned fossil plants for Canadian data centres + my estimate that if they became operational, they'd cause enough emissions to wipe out 15 years of progress

This is why I'm baffled that risk-averse US universities--where many students already struggle with poor mental health--are telling faculty we need to "integrate" the suicide machines & giving free accounts to students. There are going to be some tragic, preventable deaths & some monster lawsuits.
Bogus case studies on UBS and transit systems exaggerated adoption of the technology
Much as I like Pride & Prejudice I find it impossible to deny that this is the greatest review of it of all time
#Montreal mentionned in the @nytimes.com for its cycling network 😊

A lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT failed to recognize warning signs that a young user was in crisis, and instead allowed her fixate on death.
Some of the biggest minds behind AI may have you thinking a Terminator-like robot is coming for us. But literature professor Teresa Heffernan says tech giants have taken their readings of science…
Governments claim risk profiling systems help identify potential criminals or fraudsters but in practice they reinforce discrimination & inequality. A new @amnesty.org report shows how their use in law enforcement, social security & migration violates human rights. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Bibliothèques ne riment pas toujours avec vacances. Et pourtant ! Haltes sur la route, elles sont aussi une porte d’entrée vers le cœur de nombreuses municipalités.
