There is an ongoing lawsuit on this issue since some of the AI generated are was so blatantly trained on copyright images that it even puts the watermark on the generated image. If they are generating images with your copyright then that’s a major violation.

Because making something prohibitively difficult isn't technically prohibiting it!

What was the concern?

So if your justification is not valid, they basically continue to harvest your information out from underneath you without your consent. I’m in the US, but congrats Facebook/Meta, you just lost a user for life if this starts to be implemented in the US. 😫

Should I just smash my Oculus Quest 2 to pieces with a sledgehammer, chuck the remains out a window, and then buy a new VR headset at this point?

China executes corrupt public officials.

Not mine, thank you!

"Because I want to" ??

Not pictured in the article: Margrethe Vestager, sharpening an axe.

Reasons it's being done....trim employee rolls, make sure they can use that investment in commercial real estate, and of course....observability...control.

From my observation the folks making the argument you are tend to be older, and I am 51 so.... because they didn't have those things paid for, no one should.

But of course that leaves out how those things often cost less awhile ago.

The other challenge simply comes in terms of costs outpacing wages. And not just current inflation. It's all of it.

Office work puts strain on families, parents with small children, costs of auto repair, fuel, parking, etc. All with little to no compensation increase to beat back inflation and other cost increases.

A company who offers compensation for these things will attract more workers. So while I wouldn't suggest it be a mandate - it should be considered, just like flexible work schedules, more paid time off etc. The US labors under the idea that we are so much more awesome because we only take 15 days off a year in vacation, while we are routinely out paced by areas where workers take 30+ days off paid a year.

We need to quit this glamorization of "work".

My best friend passed away on a Max 8. March 10 2019 flight 302, he was on his way to the UN conference. Was only 3-4 months ahead of Lion Airs crash.... Im glad money matters more than people to these companies, its pretty sad man.

I hope the EU will tell these surveillance capitalists to bigger off to India, where nobody cares about privacy

Government knows best.

All you need is to secure supplies, by either asking or taking.

In some cases yes, in most cases no. The number of people who prefer big cities vastly outweighs the number of people who prefer small cities. That doesn't mean some people don't like small cities, but it does mean small to medium sized cities don't massively benefit from having businesses running from their downtowns

So one sent satellites into orbit and the other sent tourists into orbit. Got it. Thanks.

But you cant drill for chips. You need the infrastructure intact and people to like you enough to do high level work for you.

How is apple going to build their phones if they cant give china chips?

The ban is temporary and it's normal for a website that doesn't adhere to GDPR. It has nothing to do eith GPT, or the technology itself.

ChatGPt can make your life better without raping your privacy and leaking your payment infos.

AI is a potential cash windfall for tech, they will try to cram it in everywhere. They are definitely riding the hype as long as they can. I am weary at this point.

You were fact checked externally. By me. The result was:

False

All the sources I looked at cited the storage capacity of the human brain in the petabyte range, with all sources putting it at >10TB, which is many times the storage capacity of a 2010 computer for $1000

2.5 petabytes: https://www.medanta.org/patient-education-blog/what-is-the-memory-capacity-of-a-human-brain/

10-100 TB: https://aiimpacts.org/information-storage-in-the-brain/

>1 petabyte: https://www.salk.edu/news-release/memory-capacity-of-brain-is-10-times-more-than-previously-thought/

The inaccuracy aside, it's a ridiculous claim anyway. There is no good way to compare the two, and the fact the range of estimates varies by >200x should say a lot about it

These things are intelligent, and artificial.

So what it is the issue?

Sheer Grift.
