tomalbrc··on AHM Statement on OpenAI's October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents
Did you even read the quoted text you posted on here?

They say:

> The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, from whom OpenAI has claimed to derive its legitimacy, opened their initial advisory statement by saying that frontier AI corporations should not test advanced mathematical problems on internal models

Read: "on internal models"

Then you go:

> They're basically telling OpenAI or any AI lab to stop using the models for advanced math research because for some reason it isn't "ethical".

Maybe it's their use of internal models?

Are being ignorant on purpose now?

Apple's Safari has integration with Apple's Password app which firefox does not. Edge automatically connects with your Microsoft account.

Both browsers sync tabs, bookmarks and so on across your Microsoft/Apple account connected devices.

For a lot of 'average' users this is already extremely convenient.

On top of that, Safari is still the most 'energy efficient' browser you could use on macOS.
