I work at Amazon, and a friend shared this open letter that employees have written that outlines the consequences of the Amazon's turbocharged AI rollout. It’s well-written and got me thinking about impacts they point out. Basically they’re saying 1) Amazon is abandoning its climate commitments; 2) cozying up to the current administration and building AI for military, surveillance, and deportation contracts while lobbying against regulations; and 3) forcing employees to train AI while almost openly talking about eliminating their jobs.(They have written it more clearly and have quoted sources for these) Do folks here think that the AI rollouts we’re seeing are at all compatible with climate goals? I am thinking of signing this anonymously, since it feels like everyone is just blindly steamrolling ahead with the AI craze, and I’m glad to see someone bringing some reason to the discussion and try to get us to pause a bit. Hopefully, this will stir more of a conversation within the tech space.
