Let's be honest there is now no #ethical way for #academia to use #AI.
The moment it became unsustainably extractive in terms of environment, and built on theft from artists and authors (so that #TechBarons could maximise profits) that potential was gone.

The web is no longer a human-to-human landscape; it is a bustling, digital ghost town populated by machines. As agentic bots scrape, shop, and scroll, they have quietly eclipsed their human creators, fundamentally altering the fabric of the internet into a playground for automated scripts.
‘Bots have now passed human traffic online,’ Cloudflare boss laments — says agentic traffic wasn’t expected to eclipse real people until next year
Bot (automated) vs. human HTTP requests are split 57.5 vs. 42.5 percent, according to the firm’s latest data.

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.
From my own academic research, even pre LLMs there was a huge danger of zombie factoids that begin in a respectable publication by mistake and then get reprinted for decades because no one is backtracing to the original source. Once bad info gets into the system it can take years to clear it out.

Anthropic’s copyright case is amazing stuff. On paper, a judge ruled almost everything their way: scanning and digitisation books is fine, and using that to train AI is, too, he ruled.
BUT: because they used pirated books, they could be on the hook for *billions* in damages…

As far as immortality and mind uploading are concerned I know @philipcball.bsky.social is right. Are there even more destructive fantasies of techbarons than @philipcball.bsky.social describes here?
In this category I also include technologies of immortality, mind uploading, Martian terraforming, and suchlike: the future as envisaged by tech barons with scant knowledge of real science or connection to real scientists. Drexlerian nanotech is thus a cautionary tale.

OpenAI CEO also downplayed concerns about how much water datacenters require at AI summit in India
The OpenAI boss, Sam Altman, has tried to ease concerns about how much power is used by artificial intelligence models by comparing it to the amount of energy required by human development.
“People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model – but it also takes a lot of energy to train a human,” Altman told the Indian Express recently while in India for the AI Impact summit. “It takes about 20 years of life – and all the food you consume during that time – before you become smart.” Continue reading...
