Dear #AI community, I am looking for reliable sources, such as academic papers, reporting on environmental costs of AI. I'd like to be able to present these risks concisely in discussions and substantiate them with sources. So far I'm having trouble finding comprehensive reports. #sustainability

I wanted to tell a joke about Athena but it gave me a headache.
I had a joke about Sisyphus but you’d have to get over the hump
I had a joke about Eris, but it's a bit all over the place.

The LLM-to-malware pipeline is a perfect downward spiral: AI generates code with imaginary packages, attackers register those package names with malware, and unsuspecting developers execute the code. Another way AI errors cascade into real-world threats.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

#IchBinHanna Looking for an apartment. Many housing ads prefer tenants with a stable (unbefristete) work contracts. Some say this explicitly. Now look at us, people with a PhD in late 30s, with only 1- or 2-year contracts or fellowships or shorter. Even harder when you’re foreigners.
