This seems like a terrible idea. Keep Spotify as a music and podcasting app and software. The corporate lawyers are going to have to change their policies to adapt to all of the interactions that will be a liability. #music #streaming

So…about AI’s energy use…

“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour
