Ban social media then, don't scan everyone's info. We know it's going to end up in the US. They can't claim to be working for the European project if the implement legislation that entrenches US majors and goes against the interest of their citizens.

You are right I think - but this is the case for everywhere besides startups in the US

Try going to Singapore, Japan, the UK, Netherlands, god forbid France, Germany, Latin America. Try going into engineering in major US companies - you know how hiring works and who is prioritized over whom.

If you are not local or you are not part of the inner circle of management the glass ceiling is there.

Some would say that it's just empirical evidence and they never had this problem. I would call them lucky.

They should have also talked to M.A.S.A, the Mexicano Aeronáutica y Spacio Administración, they will deliver sub-orbital whales for 200$ in 2005 dollars.

Reading this makes me even happier to pay for Anthropic.

Amodei and his sister saw through the behavior and called it out.

" “Eighty per cent of the charter was just betrayed,” Amodei recalled. He confronted Altman, who denied that the provision existed. Amodei read it aloud, pointing to the text, and ultimately forced another colleague to confirm its existence to Altman directly. (Altman doesn’t remember this.) Amodei’s notes describe escalating tense encounters, including one, months later, in which Altman summoned him and his sister, Daniela, who worked in safety and policy at the company, to tell them that he had it on “good authority” from a senior executive that they had been plotting a coup. Daniela, the notes continue, “lost it,” and brought in that executive, who denied having said anything. As one person briefed on the exchange recalled, Altman then denied having made the claim. “I didn’t even say that,” he said. “You just said that,” Daniela replied. (Altman said that this was not quite his recollection, and that he had accused the Amodeis only of “political behavior.”) In 2020, Amodei, Daniela, and other colleagues left to found Anthropic, which is now one of OpenAI’s chief rivals."

You are a beacon of hope man. Please, please, continue the good fight, we need you.

We keep seeing the establishment resurfacing and imposing this blanket surveillance globally. What's happening in Brazil, the UK, EU, and has already happened in the US with no legislation or via the 5-eyes is scary.

Who are these people pressuring elected politicians and unelected bureaucrats to legislate against their constituents? Who are these lobbyists?

I get that there is a large constituency that wants to control dissidents and the narrative in the name of child abuse - see what's happening in the UK where people get arrested in the thousands for posting comments online.

Abolishing privacy is not the way to protect children. Police work and prosecution is. For reference see the grooming gangs in the UK, the infamous Eps*% case for which everyone is still walking free, and other cases in various EU countries. This is not whataboutism, it's proof that we have not taken the required steps as a western society to combat this. You don't press the nuclear option as your first action.

If it's bot farm meddling that is the true target, then ban bots and get technology to work properly. Creating ID honeypots on poorly protected website operator servers is not the solution.

Call your politicians, call your EU MEPs, call everyone you can. This matters because it's about our future.

In a way, you did what you preached. You used judgement to determine what to write about and then had AI touch it up for you.

I don't view it as a bad thing.

This would not work. Investors are still based in actual countries. Jurisdictions will also always have the ability to tax a % of revenue at source / where it was generated and not on profit rolled up through spvs to a couple low tax havens ;)

I've heard of Chris but not too well. This guy does not f*c$ around, don't get on his bad side.

The state of research is dire at the moment. The whole ecosystem is cooked. Reproducibility is non-existent. This obvious cartel is a symptom and there should be exemplary punishment.

Publishers are commercially incentivized to simply maximize profit and engagement. The main actors are academics and most of them try to uphold the high standards and ethics. Yes there is free-riding, backstabbing and a lot of politics but there is also reputation and honesty.

A few academics give academia a bad name, at the worst possible time and when society needs honest, reliable, reproducible and targetted research the most.

Get a grip physicists, the triple lock won't pay for itself.

We can't be spending our hard taxed money for science and other redundant vanity projects.

We have motability cars to fund and house visits at 2m mansions to arrange.

I am sorry, but what did you expect? Since before Snowden we knew this was coming and this dystopian future is here only because we didn't care enough to do something about it.

Now, where are all these 'I don't have anything to hide people?' I don't see them anywhere...

I agree with your vision of endgame. We wouldn't even need a screen, we will communicate verbally or with signs with our agents with some device that will have a long battery life and will always be on.

I just hope that we retain some version of autonomy and privacy because no one wants the tech giants listening in every single word you utter because your agent heard it. No-one wants it but some, not many, care.

Agents deployed locally should be the goal.

Is it deployed locally or does it send data to your servers?

Anything is better than nothing but the fact of the matter is that it's still Amazon. It's the same amazon than gives ring cameras unfettered warrantless access to people's home, literally pays homage to kings and is a US company through and through.

Go European if you can - there was an article not too long ago that described how it was actually cheaper to use a EU cloud provider than AWS.

Also I read the article and the term 'digital sovereignty' is used. I don't think it means what the author thinks it means...
