Anthropic AI safety researcher resigns, saying the ‘world is in peril’ (lemmy.ml)

An artificial intelligence researcher left his job at Anthropic this week with warning about the state of the world. The latest resignation in a wave of departures over safety risks and ethical dilemmas.

All this seems very concerning...

Qobuz seems amazing. You need a subscription i think but they seem way more ethnic than their counterparts.

There are ways but difficult to implement for now...

And that is less energy consuming too!!

I am socked by the sheer amont of energy needed by streaming platforms (Spotify and others) but nobody seems to care.

By the way there is a telegram bot that allows you to download anything you want from Spotify. And then you own the files forever... no more connection needed.

I totally agree with you. Especially since they tried to take down Anna's archive...

Anyway, besides that, this remains very instructing.
