PHEW! Terminé con cinco minutos restantes.
Here's my short essay from my test. It's about AI, and the impact of technology in general. Go easy on me. (Actual proper citations were not needed)
——
La tecnología mšs importante en la sociedad actual es el inteligencia artificial, IA, o el acrónimo inglés, “AI”.
“AI” es una tecnología relativamente nueva. Él aparecí al comienzo del ano 2023 y cambió ršpidamente la manera que los personas en línea buscaban y creaban. Realmente, “AI” no esta inteligente, mejor dicho uno modelo de lenguaje grande, “LLM” en inglés. LLM significa que los ordenadores que les alimentan no usan razón, pero los intentos a predecir una respuesta de una pregunta o mensaje en función de los patrones de palabras y mensajes en les bancos de datos.(1)
La tecnología ha contribuido en gran medida al progreso del sociedad. La tecnología agrícola lo hizo posible para humanidad a crecer y cambiar de nómada a creer asentamientos y eventualmente ciudades mas grandes. La hecha posible a usar recursos del medio ambiente en nos sociedades. Pero la tecnología ha creado grandes problemas también como desigualdad o cambio climštico.
Yo creo que, en la mayoría de situaciones, la tecnología es una fuerza positiva en la sociedad. Las problemas son creado por los personas sin moralidad, a menudo para la acumulación de la riqueza, influencia, y autoridad. Si la población puede mantener la influencia democrštica para reglamentar la tecnología, como la AI, para el beneficio de la población y los individuos, entonces la tecnología puede contribuir a la progresión de la sociedad.
Finalmente, si los individuos son compasivos y respetuosos, la tecnología reflejarš esa también.

#CDR (carbon dioxide removal) & #HealthEquity suggest CDR such as DAC and BECCS maybe are not the panacea technology advocates assume.

Residual emissions may perpetuate community-scale inequalities in US air pollution - Nature Climate Change
The scale of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) could determine the extent of co-emitted air pollutants in net-zero scenarios and potential health impacts. By linking a series of models and datasets, researchers find that low-CDR pathways lead to a more equitable distribution of health benefits across the USA.

Saravanan talks to us about making greener tech.
Everyone else is burning fuel for ai like mad but Saravan wants to make things greener instead.
3% or so of greenhouse emissions are from IT. More than flying.
Cloud providers claim to be carbon neutral but this is changing with ai centers and often software written for them aren't used most of the time.
Green Software Foundation thinks software can be greener and offers courses and a profiler to tell you the carbon footprint of your code.
We can write for carbon efficiency. Electricity and hardware manufacturing included.
Power usage effectiveness can be calculated. How much is wasted on cooling vs compute, say.
Do your compute when solar is in excess instead of during times the power network is burning oil. Or do it in countries with greener grids.
Support older user hardware. Extend the life of end user devices.
Can't help feeling like these efforts are going to be drowned out by everyone else here burning tokens like there's no tomorrow. Which maybe will ensure there is indeed no tomorrow.
