It's the one time where the European Union's inability to advertise what they're doing is paying off in their favor. Then again, good, the operation of government isn't meant to be done through a tweet. We should resist the corruption of government to idiotic soundbites on platforms owned by American billionaires.

Yes, I'm with you. I'm grateful that most of the news I hear about this is relatively positive. I'm actually kind of in awe of how fast it's all moving. For all the talk about slow Europeans, that single ICC action seems to have launched a ton of initiatives.

It's the reason why in the last year you've seen multiple European governments very quickly build an escape hatch against US tech.

We all expect that you'll use our dependency on US services as a weapon, you've already done so, so we're phasing you out. It'll take decades to repair the lost trust in US digital services among the governments of Europe.

I want the US tech community to continue thinking of us as some sort of technological backwater. Ridiculing and deriding us, so they never see as any place where they are welcome. Since given the last ten years, they pretty much aren't. There's basically little to nothing that US tech services have to offer Europe.

I swear we are heading toward McKenna's Peak Novelty in this timeline.

AI is perfectly capable of teaching you quantum mechanics if you understand music theory. However, unless you have a full understanding of music theory, you'll need to explain to the machine what you know, and that takes trial and error that most students won't bother with.

Both of these companies have heavy PR teams that they use to convince you that they do, in fact, care about these issues. But that is PR and generally to be considered bullshit. They care about nothing other than their bottom lines.

This has been a wonderous PR move by Anthropic. It gets to make money off the US war machine while somehow being able to portray themselves as the "good guys" in the story leading to that whole #cancelOpenAI trend. If you're dumb enough to believe that Anthropic is really the "good guy" in this story, I have some meme coin to sell you.

I know a scam when I see one, and Windows 11 is a scam.

No I will not tip in app, that is obviously a scam.

Regulation exists to help balance out the power disparity between consumers and corporations that sell AI. The EU wrote a good AI law, it's mainly focused on access to goods and services and the impact that AI can have in those domains. Among other things, it almost entirely bans surveillance pricing. Makes companies liable if an AIs discriminate on their behalf. Also restricts the use of facial recognition.

This is it's role, to equalize the power disparity by prohibiting companies that do business within the EU from engaging in these predatory practices.

Most of the hardware we are using was designed for computer graphics not AI. Now that China isn't buying Nvidia any longer and actively trying to get their own companies to produce hardware, what happens to all these datacenters when a company produces a device that has 80% of the performance of the current Nvidia hardware but 20% of its power consumption?

Also, no one is reading your resume anymore and big corps cannot be trusted with any rule as half of them think the next-word-machine is going to create God.

I want control over the things I own, I don't want them to exist locked up in a walled system where corporations can yank my ownership of something I paid for whenever they feel so inclined.

The people who were warning us about DRM back in the 90s exactly expected this future.

I think most of the work done in AI here is focused on current applications of AI not on the development of new AI.

They want to use AI in their hiring process. They want to be able to offload their work and biases to the machine. They just don't want other people to do it.

There's a reason that the EU AI legislation made AI that is used to hire people one of the focal points for action.
