Depends on how you define 'fun'. If making fun is something like 'he should be killed', yes, you could end up in jail. Good

I'm sorry, but you should really read up about the laws in the US and in Europe. U laws are a lot more easy on spying agencies and spyware companies like Google and Facebook than European laws. Backdoors: ask the CIA about random number generators. Surveillance: heard of the cloud act?

good luck with that last one, getting farmers to accept anything at all, is already a big thing

Very annoying. More and more sites work like that. Not visible at the start. It feels like being scammed a bit

In the Netherlands it was surely a wasted opportunity. They used the money mostly to prop up some services and fill short-term gaps in the budget. Should have saved it like Norwy. It's awful

If they want to throw away a lot of money, they should indeed. Qwen 3.8 has the level of Luna and runs on my laptop. Are their a bit more frontier models worth a trillion in a couple of years..?
