Even though it has been out for a few months, I just received my first physical copy of "The Digital Continent: Placing Africa in Planetary Networks of Work"
The book is open-access through the Oxford University Press website: http://fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/academic/pdf/openaccess/9780198840800.pdf
This framing is so gross. To see (human!) generated (ahem: English) text to be a "vital resource" you have to be deeply committed to the project of building AI models and in this particular way.

“We are running out of a vital resource: words! There are “only” 5 to 10 trillion high-quality words (papers, books, code) on the internet. Our AI models will have used all of that for training by 2026. Low-quality data (tweets, fanfic) will last to 2040. https://t.co/hm1EaJ6Enu”

A few weeks ago, Sam Altman, CEO of artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, logged onto a Zoom call. On the other side of the screen was Dave Rogenmoser, CEO of Jasper, a copywriting startup built on OpenAI’s flagship large-language model, GPT-3. The two companies share a Slack channel, where ...

#introduction Hi All. I am @tisimpson on Twitter, just starting on here.
I'm interested in the application of computational/statistical methods to biomedical areas. Much of our work involves using multi-modal data: #genomic, #clinical, and #molecular to better understand neurological disease of genetic origin.
We develop and use a lot of #network, #dataintegration, #statistics, and #machinelearning approaches in our research.
