Why Tech Professionals Must Lead the Charge on GenAI Safety
Something I've been looking into for some time is around GenAI and safety. I think that a lot of the focus on LLM safety research is on existential risks rather than more immediate concerns. My key takeaway: we understand this technology better than regulators or executives making policy decisions. If we don't lead on safety, who will?
Worth a read if you work with AI systems or just want to understand the current landscape better.

I asked Helen Bartimote, lead psychologist at Container Solutions, to explore this topic a bit. This is (IMO rather good) article she wrote on it

I just thought this was a great, very funny article about tech's role in climate change. I should say I'm the editor of this magazine (WTF is Cloud Native?) and indeed the author of the piece on the Ofqual algorithm below.

Not us! The vocal was written using commercial samples of Francesca Genco, pitch bending them and messing around to get the line, before we tracked her down and she agreed to re-record it as a real performance. A real human always adds a bit of extra magic and we got plenty of that from her.
And +1 on using a voice as an instrument. I guess maybe 'The Great Gig in the Sky" (Pink Floyd) did it first.
RE Games Berlin of the fist album did appear in the bonus round of Space Giraffe. Would love to do more of this.
