Sinossi

Mining Power Usage tackles the growing concerns surrounding the significant power consumption of cryptocurrency mining and its environmental impact. As digital currencies become more prevalent, understanding the energy demands, carbon footprint, and long-term sustainability of blockchain technologies is crucial. The book reveals how mining has evolved from individual enthusiasts to large-scale industrial operations and emphasizes the need for transparency regarding energy practices within the cryptocurrency industry. For example, the "proof-of-work" consensus mechanism, vital for maintaining decentralized networks, demands immense computational power and electricity.

 
The book progresses by first introducing cryptocurrency mining fundamentals, then analyzing its environmental impact, including carbon emissions and e-waste. The book delves into how different cryptocurrencies and mining hardware vary in energy efficiency.

 
Ultimately, it proposes solutions, such as renewable energy adoption and regulatory frameworks, for a sustainable crypto ecosystem. This book uniquely combines technical analysis with practical solutions, offering a balanced view suitable for environmental scientists, tech enthusiasts, and policymakers alike.

    Data Equals - Democratic...

    An expansive vision for data equality that goes beyond algorithmic fairness. 
     
    When we gave algorithms power over our world, we hoped that the apparent neutrality of machine thinking would create a more egalitarian age. Yet we are more divided than ever, staring down threats to democracy itself. In Data Equals, Colin Koopman argues that data technologies fail us so often because we built them around a deficient notion of equality. 
     
    It is not enough, Koopman explains, that algorithms engage everyone’s data with the same measuring stick. The data themselves are all too often structured in ways that obscure and exacerbate stratifying distinctions. Koopman contends that we must also work to ensure that those people subject to computational assessment enter data systems on equal terms. Part philosophical argument, part practical guide (replete with case studies from education technology), Data Equals offers novel methods for realizing democratic equality in a digital age.

    A bestselling author and AI team up to write a novel. Chaos ensues. 
     
    AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more… 
     
    Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news? 
     
    Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic. 
     
    When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords. 
     
    He decides there’s only one thing for it – he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’ 
     
    Chaos ensues. 
     
    What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, Benny the Blue Whale provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write.
