Could be a legal issue, privacy or whatnot.
- ithkuil 3y agoShouldn't be hard to just say so instead of claiming it's multilingual readiness?
- throwaway09223 3y agoQuite the opposite - it's not only hard it's also unwise. Admitting that you know that your product may create legal liabilities is not a very smart thing to do.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoDid OpenAI ask for permission or forgiveness in that regard?
- leptons 3y agoDid OpenAI board ask for permission or forgiveness? Seems like it was forgiveness and they lost.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoIf boards cannot hold CEOs accountable then who can?
- leptons 3y agoExcept their CEO wasn't held accountable, it was a coup, and the board was removed and the CEO reinstated.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoRight, so then, who is left to hold CEOs accountable?
- rvnx 3y agoThey could create a separate limited liability legal entity that is a full subsidiary of Google. That subsidiary could license the technology or platform from the parent company and they'd be able to launch worldwide.
- throwaway09223 3y agoThis could be an answer to an intent to violate any law. The counterpoint is that this doesn't actually work in practice.
- rvnx 3y agoWell that's Deepmind I guess ?
- ithkuil 3y agoYou can spin it in a different way: "We committed to meet all the regulation in each country we're operating in. Our teams are working on it. In the meantime we'll start in our domestic market, because obviously if there has to be a first country to open it would be our origin country, right?"
- nightsd01 3y agoYep, there is a big reason why Europe has so few successful big tech companies, it is a regulatory hellscape. They have so many pointless privacy regulations that only the “big” companies can even hope to compete in many markets like ad tech.
- jacquesm 3y agoThere is a big reason why the USA outside of Silicon Valley and Seattle has so few successful big tech companies: because success begets success and capital breeds more capital. If it was just European regulation you'd expect SV equivalents everywhere except for Europe. That didn't happen. And the last thing we need is more competition in ad tech.
- thefourthchime 3y agoSeattle, Boston, New York, and Austin have joined the room.
- jacquesm 3y agoI think I covered Seattle. And so have Eindhoven (ASML), London (Revolut, Monzo, Wise and Deliveroo), Paris (DailyMotion, AppGratis), Berlin (Soundcloud, Mister Spex, Zalando, Helpling, Delivery Hero, Home24 and HelloFresh) and Amsterdam (Sonos (ok, technically Hilversum), Booking.com, TomTom) etc, etc. So what? Tech companies exist the world over. The specific kind of tech company that requires a mountain of free cash and that can monopolize a whole segment is a SV anomaly and Microsoft is the exception simply because of when it started.
