Share! 🎉🎉 #NoAI So the campaign for Recovering After Gen AI will end in less than a day, 19 hours. We've exceeded the $6000 CAD I was hoping for on Monday. Wow! I'm immensely grateful to my backers I have started writing the book, and I've been interviewing a few scientists and technicians gradually, over email. This campaign is my sole source of income for the time being because of how Gen AI has negatively impacted my livelihood as someone who researches and writes about cybersecurity as a freelancer. I'm really grateful to all of my backers and you have done enough. But if you want to be extra helpful, please share this campaign on your social media. Here's something you can copy and paste if you don't want to write something on your own: -- The nightmare of Gen AI will end soon, no matter how often techbros say "AI is here, get used to it!" MIT researchers and Harvard meta-analysis say the datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics. The financial bubble will pop. And here's also model collapse. There will be so much environmental, societal, and economic destruction in it's wake. The Recovering After Gen AI book will examine that. Last 19 hours! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai/ -- Thank you so much, everyone! I'm well on track for October publication so far. And your support really motivates me to do the best research that I can. -- You can check out my campaign for Recovering After Gen AI here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai Thank you so much, everyone. ❤️

  • @kimcrawley@zeroes.ca Congratulations on the campaign! I backed it. And then Kickstarter confused me with an email entitled “Recovering from GenAI Reached Its Funding Goal”. I misread the subject at first and thought some spammer was telling me “GenAI Reached Its Funding Goal” 😁
