Greenpeace Australia will be using AI, as they're recruiting for AI and Data Platforms Lead:
"Working closely with the IT Manager, Platform Leads, and GPAP’s Data & AI Governance Council, you’ll lead the implementation of our AI Strategy, making sure every AI use case is transparent, ethical, and aligned with Greenpeace values."

Failing to see how a right wing techbro concept which is killing people + planet is ethical.

@gusseting Before we tie them to the stake, as someone who worked in AI before the GenAI revolution: there’s a *lot* of ethical non-genAI work possible, especially in the geodata realm. Some types of environmental monitoring wouldn’t be possible without it (eg tracking floating debris over a combination of visible light data sources, to name just the first thing of many).

@venite
I respectfully disagree.
"Hallucinations — or, if you prefer, lies — are a feature of LLMs. They are a mathematical inevitability, one that cannot be overcome with ever more data and ever greater processing power. In fact, hallucinations aren’t even a mistake. They are no more or less than a product of programming."
This is not my opinion, This is a climate reporter, Patrick Galey.

NIck from Greenpeace + Greenpeace themselves have been silent. Why is that?

@gusseting my point is that AI and LLMs are not the same thing.

@venite Agreed, they're not. However that doesn't let Greenpeace off the hook.
Ethics? What ethics?

@gusseting I have no idea, I live on the other side of the planet and was reacting to a very specific post of yours where I *do* have relevant knowledge.
