- Microsoft is looking to split with OpenAI. It is developing its own models, and OpenAI has been unwilling to share details, as was agreed. Copilot, based on ChatGPT, has thus far received poor reception due to high cost and limited results. See: gizmodo.com/microsofts-r... 🧪 #AcademicSky
- Alex Reisner in The Atlantic states that AI models are trained on questions of the benchmarks they are tested on, which taints the legitimacy of scores. He refers to studies and experiments published over the last two years showing they are cheating. www.linkedin.com/posts/gvanbu... 🧪 #AcademicSky
- Telling the truth is difficult for AI-models. A paper from OpenAI demonstrates hallucinating between 53% and 81% when answering. See: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.04368 For a critical review of this article, see: futurism.com/openai-admit... 🧪 #AcademicSky

- The consideration of #climate effects in relation to energy sources is not a recent phenomenon, as evidenced by the accompanying journal article (discovered by @beeasmarine.bsky.social). Instead of a few centuries, we are seeing rising temperatures within a century. 🧪 #AcademicSky
- To understand how AI is contributing to climate change, look at the way it’s being used. The (negative as well as positive) impact of AI is going to be from the applications they’re built for, not necessarily the cost of training. www.scientificamerican.com/article/ais-...
