We’ll die either way, life is deadly

Uh-oh. If I was Altman, I would start running right now.

If I had to find something to critique, it is that bad-faith agenda-pushing is still rampant here, from “both sides” - rather all conceivable sides.

Not like I have a solution for it. Maybe forums shouldn’t be this big, and we shouldn’t primarily be talking to strangers.

Jeff Bezos is just Dr. Evil without the education.

It did actually. I don’t pay for sending a message or calling my neighbour if I go to the next country or Bulgaria. The EU made it law that roaming is free.

What still costs money is if you send a message in the NL to the NL if you have a Belgian number for example, which makes it so that you still have to get a new number each time you move countries. Or rather the bigger pain is calling my mom who lives in a different member state, that I can’t really do without incurring insane charges.

That is if you stay within one country. I still get some insane charges if I text someone 60 kilometers away because it’s international.

IIRC it’s because US cell carriers don’t charge as much as others for sending and receiving SMS

Budapest line M4 is fully automated, stations have some personnel but otherwise you can get on a train and look out straight ahead through the window, there is no cab.

Trains drive themselves, but I imagine there must be some switchboard type of thing somewhere.

You guys know that you share half your genome with your kids and parents, so it’s not even just the users’ data, but also people who might not even know about this.

Vertical integration is bad, m’kay?

Yeah, but the problem is that the “certain things” can actually encompass “any data about any person”. That’s a hard regex to write.

That is another great question. If it is transformative use of the primary data source, then that is likely illegal, as nobody gave permission for them to transform and process that personal data. If it is not transformative, and it just gives access to the primary source like a search engine on the other hand, then the problem is that if it returns copyrighted data, it is no longer fair use most likely.

From the GDPR’s standpoint, I wonder if it’s still personal information if it is made up bullshit. The thing is, this could have weird outcomes. Like for example, by the letter of the law, OpenAI might be liable for giving the same answer to the same query again.

My dude, the Netherlands has a wealth tax, if you live there you pay a percentage of your total wealth every year. Maybe there is a reason why it’s working so well.

In the late millennium

Only by perception, but it practicality mattered, we wouldn’t be ligging around two tons of steel per person everywhere we went.

Says the country where every science textbook is half science half conversion tables.

That is true as long as there is a rebound though. Why would there be a return to normal after this?

”Dark gothic maga" is trying to take it over I guess

They are probably going to do the bare minimum required by the new laws. So not even necessarily buttons under the touchscreen, the required controls are warning lights, indicators, wipers, the horn and the SOS button.
