Did you read the AI Act?

AI Act regulates high risk AI systems and banns AI systems like social scoring. Most of the AI applications are not regulated.

Did you read the GDPR and follow court rulings regarding AI training. OLG Köln saw no violation in Meta‘s training of user data in Insta and FB.

It is obvious that you don’t know what you are taking about.

I’am tired of unfounded EU bashing. The guardrails in place are not hindering

i’m thinking about printing a pergola. This 2 m pillar looked quite stable. Would that pillar, Vertically erected, carry a horizontal pillar of the same material? How expensive was the material used?

As if right wing media have a legitimate place in a democracy. It was and will only ever be a vehicle for fascism. Maybe we Europeans enjoyed proper schools with history lessons and remember how Faschism played out last time? Besides following US media is enough to know what Musk is about.

AI is not mentioned. Besides, service accounts are not bots.

The collection provides a structured approach to self audit the security practice regarding non-human identities. The recent CCC showcased breach of a VW connected car repository based on the exploitation of those NHI.

its not about their official data collection. It is a safe assumption that TikTok app is used to spy on targeted users and their surroundings, just google it.

New comment by killerpopiller in "I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]"

killerpopiller — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 06:27:25 +0000

I thought about it as well but if the rod is attached to a plank on the wall the clothes are 1cm away from the wall allowing for some air circulation.

Btw, there is an alternative solution, a hanger where the hook can spin, so one can hang clothes diagonally, nearly flat. Hers looks nicer on the wall though.

I‘ve heard from a local that in the onset of the bork beetle infestation, it was decided not to intervene (leaving dead trees there). This contributed to the catastrophe. Not sure if this is true.

not only competition but compliance. The legal obligations a car manufacturer has to satisfy in the EU nowadays is wild, IUPR, OBFCM, WLTP are just the programs regarding emission checks. There are many many more.
