The relationship between social media and democracy is complex but important and there is a lot of debate.
For coordination, I wanted to gauge the community with a discussion thread about what, in my view, we do know and the ones we do not know (yet), please add your thoughts and/or disagree: 1/n

It's somewhat funny reading hot takes that generative AI doesn't pose any real ecological challenges because the marginal energy cost of calling simpler trained models is low.

AI tools are fascinating but fell short when I tried creating a logo for my project. Science Graphic Design (www.sciencegraphicdesign.com) brought ideas to life—earbuds for modern music listening, a magnifying glass for auditing. Their input was invaluable. Sometimes, AI isn’t enough. Kudos to them!
