irst, directly, it affects our labor, as all unproducing classes detract from the prosperity of a community. Ohio is anagricultural State. Negroes will not farm. They prefer to laze or serve around towns and cities....But suppose they do work, or work a little, or a part of them work well; what then is the effect upon our mechanics andlaboring men? It is said that many of them make good blacksmiths, carpenters, &c., and especially good servants. If thatbe so, there are white laborers North whose sweat is to be coined into taxes to ransom these negroes; and the first effect of

I asked it multiple questions about topics I’ve recently covered, so Iwasn’t shocked to see my article linked, as a footnote, way at the bottom of the box containingthe answer to my query. But I was caught off guard by how much the first paragraph of an AIOverview pulled directly from my writing.

the article will show that it is critical to a complexof interlinked innovations in technology, machines andinfrastructures. These material apparatuses and tech-nologies deplete scarce resources in their production,consumption and disposal, thus increasing the amountsof energy expended in their use and exacerbate prob-lems of waste and pollution. AI also relies on datacenters that demand impressive amounts of energy tocompute, analyze, and categorize with grave conse-quences for the Climate Emergency

With this article, I’d like to open another black boxthat concerns the recent acceleration of AI develop-ments: data mining and computational evaluations ofpersons and corporations have far-reaching

Artificial Intelligence- Brevini argues- runs on technology, machines, and infrastructures that deplete scarce resources intheir production, consumption, and disposal, thus increasing the amounts of energy in their use, and exacerbateproblems of waste and pollution.

Gentlemen deceive themselves. It is not free trade that they are recommending to ouracceptance. It is in effect, the British colonial system that we are invited to adopt; and, iftheir policy prevail, it will lead substantially to the re-colonization of these States, underthe commercial dominion of Great Britain. . . .

When gentlemen have succeeded in their design of an immediate or gradual destructionof the American System, what is their substitute? Free trade? Free trade! The call for freetrade is as unavailing as the cry of a spoiled child, in its nurse's arms, for the moon, or thestars that glitter in the firmament of heaven.

This transformation of the condition of the country from gloom and distress to brightnessand prosperity, has been mainly the work of American legislation, fostering Americanindustry, instead of allowing it to be controlled by foreign legislation, cherishing foreignindustry.

Crimes can occur anywhere, affecting people of all races and social standing. But Black, Latino, and poor crime victims are more likely to report the incidents to police than White and wealthier victims, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics.

t’s why works can be organized by genre and subgenre; academics can propose grand unified theories ofliterature; folklorists can systematically classify thousands of recurring motifs in myths, legends, andfables around the world; and friends and algorithms can curate playlists of songs and stories just for you.And when repetition tends toward the formulaic, it’s also why AI can be used by Hollywood to “predict”a film’s performance based on its screenplay, by writers to churn out novels, and by researchersto manifest scientific papers.

o claim that AI models like ChatGPT and DALL-E will replace art created bypeople is to ignore both the ineffable qualities of the human touch and the critical flaws of thesemodels—or so say the artists and writers.

The information they supply can be inaccurate or biased.

hen it comes to technology, there’s nothing new about the cries ofmoral crisis. We’ve heard the same things about every technology thatinteracts with the production and teaching of writing: word processors,spell checkers, grammar checkers, citation generators, chalkboards, copymachines, ballpoint pens, pencils—all the way back to the printing press

AI writers have been churningout content for at least a decade in places we might not even suspect.

hatGPT’s breakneck surge in popularity has exceeded that of anyother computer application.
