David Rolnick, a computer scientist at McGill University, likens AI to a hammer: “The primary impact of a hammer is what is being hammered,” he says, “not what is in the hammer.” Just as the tool can smash things to bits or pound in nails to build a house, artificial intelligence can hurt or help the environment.

This second chunk of the Aleinu prayer is on thin ice with a lot of congregations.  Not necessarily because it’s optional to say it out loud (although it is optional), but in large part because most congregations only know one tune for it.  If you’ve heard the Aleinu, you’re probably humming that tune right now.  It’s a bouncy Hasidic melody.  Kids love it, some grownups love it, and some grownups loathe it.

But what if there was another choice?  Jennifer Rolnick offers you a calmer, more flowing melody.  It actually would fit well with Sulzer’s grand waltz-time melody for the first chunk -- in fact, it fits better than the Hasidic tune does -- and it allows you to keep the joy and dignity of the Aleinu prayer intact.  Combining the Sulzer and the Rolnick  melodies could carry you through the whole first paragraph of the Aleinu.  After the break to read the second paragraph silently, you’d then pick up with the classic Israel Goldfarb Vene’emar at the end.  I like this plan!

There are ways we can use AI ethically and sustainably. Instead of saying "I hate AI" consider what it is about AI you hate and where that comes from. Is it the lack of legislation? Then be active in fixing that instead of spreading misinformation. I'm curious how we do not have a balanced perspective on this yet? Is it because so many of you read/watch scare articles/videos? I understand that they're wonderful for keeping you attached to whatever social media you use, but I am begging some of you to look up the benefits of AI as well. It is not as binary as the majority of you make it seem.

btw I did read all the articles linked. I suggest reading this paper (last revised October 2023) from Shaolei Ren who was mentioned in the AP News article (September 2023):

In this paper, we provide a principled methodology to estimate the water footprint of AI models, and also discuss the unique spatial-temporal diversities of AI models' runtime water efficiency. Finally, we highlight the necessity of holistically addressing water footprint along with carbon footprint to enable truly sustainable AI.

Like most things, we collectively have to put long-term pressure on lawmakers. This cannot be stressed enough. AI isn't going away. We have to take steps to enable sustainable AI.

It’s difficult for a number of reasons, among them that the companies behind the most popular tools, as well as the companies selling the chips that power them, aren’t very willing to share details of how much energy their systems use. [This doesn't mean AI bad. Grab pitchforks! This means AI needs legislation. Companies should be legally required to share how much energy their systems use.] "As AI becomes more efficient at solving environmental problems, such as by helping to lower emissions, it could prove to be a valuable tool in the fight against climate change—if the AI industry can reduce its negative climate impacts. “From the policy standpoint, both AI policy and climate policy have roles to play,” Rolnick says. In particular he recommends shaping AI policy in a way that considers all angles of its impact on climate. That means looking at its applications as well as its emissions and other production costs, such as those from water use. Further, Dodge adds that those with expertise in AI, particularly people in power at tech companies, should establish ethical principles to limit the technology’s use. The goal should be to avoid climate harm and instead help reduce it. “It needs to be part of the value system,” he says." (Scientific American, December 2023)

The Guardian used the scare tactic without finishing the thought (Gartner):

“AI offers huge potential benefits to optimize operational efficiency and sustainability, far outweighing its own footprint,” said Plummer. “Provided it is applied more pervasively and effectively than today, AI could reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by five to ten percent.”

This, I think we can all agree on:

“Fundamentally speaking, if you do want to save the planet with AI, you have to consider also the environmental footprint [of AI first],” she says. “It doesn’t make sense to burn a forest and then use AI to track deforestation.”

I will add that the yellow circle is a blatant lie and it amazes me how quickly people believe their own bias. Verify information you read especially if you are going to share that information.

Also, I'm reminded of this:

Three decades after UN milestone, experts convene to find AI climate solutions - Technology Org

Three decades after UN milestone, experts convene to find AI climate solutions - Technology Org

Thirty years after a United Nations convention combating climate change entered into force, the dangers of increasing human-caused, planet-warming emissions are on full display. Severe droughts strain water reserves, surging temperatures threaten food supplies and rising sea levels turn whole villages into climate refugees. Scientists warn it will get much worse.

But climate change isn’t the only phenomenon that’s accelerating. The science and technology needed to address its impacts is also rapidly advancing. Using the power of artificial intelligence, material and climate science experts are developing cutting-edge technology to stem the planet’s warming and its related impacts. They are converting water molecules from the air into drinking water, making clearer and faster climate and weather predictions and building better renewable energy systems.

“This space is really growing,” said Aditi Krishnapriyan, a UC Berkeley College of Chemistry assistant professor in chemical engineering and member of the Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet (BIDMaP). “We’re in an age where we can advance science with machine learning methods, while also leveraging a lot of new insights in developing these methods.”

“This is a really fruitful area that has a lot of potential to have a big impact on the world,” said Krishnapriyan. Her research uses machine learning, physics and chemistry to solve renewable energy, climate and drug discovery problems.

That growth and possibility will be evident this month at the AI and Physical Sciences for Climate Innovation Symposium. Starting March 26, the two-day event will convene some of the world’s leading climate and computing experts and academics, like Krishnapriyan, to learn from and engage with one another about the future of this field.

The event is organized by BIDMaP and Climate Change AI (CCAI), organizations aimed at pioneering and harnessing artificial intelligence to combat the climate crisis. It will take place in-person in Sutardja Dai Hall in Berkeley, Calif., and will be available for viewing via livestream.

“I’m hopeful that this event will lead to greater discourse between communities that don’t often find occasions to talk together,” said David Rolnick, co-founder and chair of CCAI and a speaker at the event. 

“There’s been a surge of interest in this area within both academia and increasingly the private sector. It’s seen as a time of great innovation and growth,” said Rolnick, a McGill University assistant professor in computer science. “There is potential for having a significant impact upon a field that’s young enough to be malleable and mature enough to be impactful.”

Using AI and physical sciences to address climate change

Experts at the symposium will speak about how they are using artificial intelligence to develop materials. Aionics Chief Executive Officer Austin Sendek, whose startup discovers and brings to market new materials for energy and climate solutions, will speak on a panel about how the next phase of this work could be influenced by big data and large language models. 

The event will also highlight how AI can speed up scientific discoveries in labs and how AI is being used to understand and estimate future weather and climate. Rolnick and Animashree Anandkumar, a computing and mathematical sciences professor at the California Institute of Technology, are keynote speakers.

The agenda is stacked with industry and academic trailblazers like Rolnick, Sendek and  Krishnapriyan. 

Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society Dean Jennifer Chayes, BIDMaP Co-Director Christian Borgs, BIDMaP Co-Director and College of Chemistry Professor Omar Yaghi, and Meta Fundamental AI Research Team Research Director Larry Zitnick are just some of the other influential speakers at the event. William Collins, laboratory director of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and professor in Berkeley’s Department of Earth and Planetary Science, is another well recognized speaker and participant.

New research directions and partnerships – fast

These kinds of gatherings often lead to new research partnerships and directions, Rolnick said. They are especially important in this moment, said Sendek. AI technology is advancing rapidly. The planet is warming fast. And developing new hardware and materials to apply to the climate crisis can take decades and billions of dollars.

This symposium and similar events allow pioneering experts to quickly “align on the ground truth of what’s happening” and make strategic decisions, Sendek said. Scientists have said we have until 2050 to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in half. With a growing population, that’s not much time, he said.

“Clearly there is exponential acceleration happening in two fields. One is in computing power. The other is in AI,” said Sendek, who is also an adjunct professor at Stanford University. “If we can chain the rate of progress in hardware, materials, batteries and other devices to those exponentials, we can do this. If we’re going to continue at the same sort of linear rate of progress of the past, we’re probably going to fall short.”

Krishnapriyan, who is also an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, hoped the symposium would be motivating for students who attended, showing them the possibilities of this field. There are opportunities to use machine learning to do interdisciplinary, unique and impactful work, she said.

“This is an exciting time to get into this space,” she said.

KIT DE SUPERVIVIENCIA

UN NUEVO PARADIGMA PRÁCTICO ENERGÉTICO Y POLÍTICO, ES NECESARIO: y lo vamos a iniciar y experimentar en una práctica

Domingo 10 de Diciembre del 2023 – 19hrs a 21hrs en CABA – Nicaragua 4441 – LA CASA WALSH

UN PLAN EXCITANTE

Encontrar cuál es nuestro PLAN EXCITANTE y desde ahí tejer energéticamente ALIANZAS que nos ayuden a forjar este ESTADO DE CONCIENCIA, es la RESPUESTA, para que los próximos años no sean de resistencia, sino de florecimiento, fomentando el mundo que amamos.

Y puede que estés pensando ¿cómo puede esto relacionarse a la política? la respuesta es el concepto de MICROPOLÍTICA.

MI EXPERIENCIA

En 2017, cuando me invitaron a Escuela de Técnicas Colectivas, en el Centro Cultural Paco Urondo, UBA, CABA, habia hecho un fanzine con conceptos de una Matriz Teórica que forjé.

MICROPOLÍTICA es un concepto de Félix Guattari, recopilado por Suely Rolnick en 1983, en su gira por BRASIL: un conjunto de enunciados configuradores de vida que puede tener origen en un proceso de subjetivación capitalistica, es decir de una subjetividad conformada por los medios, religiones o familia, etc. o que puede ser protagonista o parte de un proceso de singularización, es decir de producción creativa de nuevas formas afectivas, creativas o de deseo. Basado no en estamentos socialmente compartidos o convenciones (eso sería la identidad) sino en una perspectiva más existencial y pegada a la supervivencia; dando lugar a revoluciones moleculares: pequeñas revoluciones en relaciones, ya sea entre personas o grupos o entre un ser humano y determinada técnica o relación con acto creativo, siempre encontrando las vías de la propia especificidad.

ASTROCHAMANISMO

Por eso, en esta combinación entre ASTROLOGÍA y CHAMANISMO, te daré un DISPOSITIVO que para utilizar ambas herramientas, ambos mundos y CREAR PLANES ESTRATÉGICOS.

¿Qué haremos?

Los Pases Energéticos son movimientos físicos y respiratorios para recuperar energía de condicionamientos sociales:

Son fáciles de hacer y recordar

Tiene efecto inmediato y a largo plazo

Vienen del sistema de lxs chamanes de México Antiguo

Por otra parte, la astrología, es una herramienta contemporánea que nos ayuda a crear agenda, detectar y dar atención a las temporalidades personales:

Un sistema donde todos los signos nos ayudan al camino evolutivo

Te compartiré una agenda donde pongo todas las alineaciones

Te mostraré cómo poder diseñar alianzas estratégicas

En este encuentro combinaremos estas dos herramientas para hacer foco en lograr:

Silencio Interno y acceder al conocimiento silencioso

Llegar a nuestro propósito

Aprender un nuevo equilibrio, moderando el mundo interno y externo.

Te comparto algunos testimonios:

Fue increíble y algo cambio! Porque aún hoy tengo los efectos. Empecé a recordar casi todos los sueños. Todo el mundo se merece movilizar su energía con los Pases Energéticos.

Dalma

Hace unas semanas atrás estuve haciendo la prácticas 1 y 2 de las que habías subido y de verdad que me pusieron en un lugar de agilidad y de sensación de cuerpo despierto que a veces ni preparándome haciendo otras cosas para bailar encuentro.

Maria Antonieta

«Les cuento que yo hace un año y medio que practico los Pases de forma regular. En ese tiempo pude dejar de fumar después de muchos años. Lugo con un poco más de energía pude dejar de tomar en exceso también. Además siento que tengo un comportamiento menos errático en términos emocionales y más capacidad de distanciamiento.»

Gabriel Obradovich

«Quiero agradecerte Gabriel, por el tiempo que nos dedicas y por la plataforma que implementás para que podamos aún estando lejos de vos, realizar nuestros pases energéticos. Ésta propuesta guerrera me está funcionando magníficamente, me permite practicarlo cuando los necesito. Antes de trabajar, después de trabajar, para empezar el día o movimientos en el momento justo. I¿r a un gym un domingo? Nunca jamás lo hubiese pensando, pero sí ahora me levanto los domingos y realizó los pases. Me ha sido útil incluso para salir de mí estado gripal. Cosa que si fuera en un gym, no salgo de casa y la gripe sigue. Amo tu creación, amo a la gente simple que hace simple lo complejo. Gracias, sigamos a la luna con sentir guerrero. Abrazo enorme.»

Tricia

Invertir en Pases Energéticos y Astrología tiene valores similares a una salida con amigos: pero dicha salida antes o después de estos encuentros, cambian rotundamente. Las charlas NO SON LAS MISMAS, porque ahí esta tu MAPA DE ALIANZAS.

Garantía

Adquirí acceso a esta PRÁCTICA y si no podés asistir, podés cambiarla por cualquier de los cursos o complementar el valor de las sesiones astrales.

INSCRIBITE!

Accedé a los valores promocionales de AHORA, 5 lugares a AR$5700

Enviá el dinero a mi cuenta de mercado pago gabrielbergonzi.mp o CBU RUTA.POTE.CAFE

Enviame comprobante a +5491126671828

Te reservo el lugar para el domingo 10/12 de 19hrs a 21hrs

ES EL MOMENTO

Una práctica con herramientas para lograr silencio interno, propósito y equilibrio, y una guía para saber cómo usar la astrología a tu favor y construir una agenda de florecimiento y resistencia en los tiempos adversos que se vienen.

PD: te compartiré un calendario con las alineaciones astrológicas.

PD2: tendrás videos de los Pases para poder practicarlos en tu casa.

PD3: te llevarás una guía impresa de cómo usar la astrología, respecto a tu carta y a la carta de tus alianzas.
