If you know of anyone who likes AI art, I'd be curious to know what their thoughts on it are.

It goes without saying but everyone has a fundamental right to privacy and #chatcontrol eliminates that. That is not good. That could leave them vulnerable to state oppression, and make vulnerable groups less able to discuss sensitive issues.

Banning wearing a mask (even for medical purposes) is really stupid and single-minded.

The sky is falling! Everything is blowing up! We must think of the children!
Well, actually, the sky is not in fact falling, nor is it "blowing up".
How about now?
No.
Now?
No.
Now? Come on, it's gotta to be happening now. Tell me it is happening now.
no...

Someone said that opting their data out of something like ChatGPT after the fact might lead to resource intensive retraining.
Keep in mind though that that particular model likely has to be retrained every now and then to stay current anyway.

@npub1axm…dsle The point of an automated test is that you write hundreds or more tests which test little parts of a program with varying inputs to make sure that they work as they should.

Advocating for civil rights mainly through the lens of crime prevention is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen and provides meat for the conspiracy theorists to chew on.
If you've seen them, I think you'll know what I mean, I might write about them sometime.

Seeing tech companies coming up with more and more fanciful excuses to not use humans for moderation and to use an algorithm instead.
This time, it's "the algorithm will be more accurate than a human in the future" which is both irrelevant (and probably bullshit).

After doing a bit of research into an... interesting bunch.
Quite a few groups pushing for this internet control crap (mainly chat control) in the E.U. appear to be either cops or groups strongly associated with them.
It isn't just the "fake foundation" (run by the U.S. / U.K.) or "foreign dark money" from Oak going into apparent "local groups" (quite a few which sprang up out of thin air right when the E.U. pushed the E-Privacy Directive and have a tendency towards making misleading claims).

@npub15zu…s7lx I think with this bill, that was kind of obvious political babble.
What matters is the *text* of the bill, especially their insistence in keeping particular text in the bill (which really says a lot), not what an official says (they have a long history of playing down practical implications of bills, and playing up theoretical benefits).
Even if they don't use it, they could *threaten* to use it.
Also, a requirement for someone to write a "report" justifying it's use is useless, if they can just put one of their friends in the role.
Also, this bill looks like a train-wreck. It conjures up corpses of decrepit obscenity laws and other arcane parts of Britain's legal system. It also invokes vague language which will chill free expression.
A structure like this is probably also uniquely amenable to moral panic, especially with how vague the language is. Even if it's a relatively neutral official, who is to say they won't panic over something.

At one point, they considered putting the editor of the most right wing populist paper in Britain in-charge of the "regulator".

Oh, I see someone who is intersex.
That kind of reminds me of the controversy over those non-consensual surgeries carried out on intersex infants, particularly as they apparently often lead to negative outcomes.

Just offering some insights.
