Aside from mishits like backdoors in E2EE, which are also being considered in the US, UK and already law in places like China, these regulations will affect privacy-invasive monopolies and oligopolies. They will not affect 'innovation.' Innovation comes from publicly-funded organisations and projects. Even profit-driven startups that innovate are eventually bought out and destroyed by these monopolies and oligopolies EU is actively prosecuting.
- oytis 3y agoUhm... No? Transformer architecture comes from Google, and it's most impressive applications are developed in OpenAI. Public institutions are seemingly just trying to catch up (like Stable Diffusion developed in LMU a year after OpenAI released Dall-E)
- rpastuszak 3y agoI don’t think I’m getting your point here, SD is superior to Dall-e almost in every way.
- nologic01 3y agoThe pattern academia -> commerce is well known (and not in itself evil). At some point in the past decade any ML/AI academic that could spell backpropagation got poached (many from European universities). Once a domain proves short-tern lucrative, business is more than happy to invest but typically with very pragmatic targets. The recent reorgs in said commercial teams being point in case.
- oytis 3y agoThat's what called innovation I guess. Innovation introduced by public institutions is rather an exception than a rule - e.g. development of the internet infrastructure was funded publicly at first. What happens normally is that public institutions do fundamental research and businesses innovate. In case of AI businesses seem to be ahead even in fundamental research presently.
- nforgerit 3y ago> They will not affect 'innovation.' Innovation comes from publicly-funded organisations and projects. Looking at my home-country Germany that is a funny thing to say, since the public sector is living in a 90s/00s alternative OOP timeline and doesn't get anything done. The car oligopoly is frantically trying to gain competence in "user software" by stealing game designers and buying foreign startups. Meanwhile, the local startups are held down by German bureaucracy(tm) which additionally usually doubles down on any EU guideline. Over the last 20 years, they all reached a level of incompetence which makes it very hard to not believe in a conspiracy.
- Karsteski 3y agoHow does one steal a game designer? Are they being kidnapped en masse?
- nforgerit 3y agoThey’re lured out of their hipster game studios with candy to end up sitting in cubicle offices getting their ideas downvoted by enterprisy manager-hierarchies.
- newswasboring 3y agoI can't tell if this is a joke or not. Or what you are even joking about.
- beebeepka 3y agoWhat is your point, exactly? I assume it goes beyond "this sort of language is too colourful". What this person is saying makes perfect sense to me.
- newswasboring 3y agoThen please help me understand because I genuinely did not get the point.
