E.U. reaches deal on landmark AI bill, racing ahead of U.S.
- artninja1988 3y agoCongratulations to the EU on regulating other countries technological advances!
- sampli 3y agoAnd once again we are reminded why large technical advances happen outside of the EU
- mikae1 3y agoWhich advancements are you thinking of? The two decade long development of Meta's untamed surveillance apparatus?
- papichulo2023 3y agoYeah... having multiple trillon dollar companies doesnt have any advantage at all... High paying jobs? Taxes? Brain drain? No getting your citizens data exposed to other countries? Nope, nothing.
- boudin 3y agoIt's more of the same historical shit, wealth concentrated into a few individual with their cast around them, living in their bubble. History is full of stories like this and it never ends well. Trillion dollars companies are not an achievement, it's a symptom.
- jsiepkes 3y agoHigh paying jobs for the best and brightest for.... optimizing engagement of cat videos? Sounds more like a real-life imitating the opening of the movie Idiocracy.
- relativ575 3y agoStrictly use Meta as an example, since the HN crowd loves to bash them, during the same two decades they've released Presto, PyTorch, React, llama. Can you see SOME advancements?
- pier25 3y agoI doubt regulations are the issue. In fact the internet was invented at CERN and plenty of unicorns started the in the EU (Spotify, Skype, etc). I think the EU is a way behind because of a lack of investment in startups. Edit: Like 90% of de audio dev industry is in Europe (Native instruments, Ableton, Steinberg, UVI, Arturia, etc).
- impish9208 3y ago> In fact the internet was invented at CERN… In fact, it was not.
- boudin 3y agoYou're technically right, the web was.
- sschueller 3y agoWhat advancements? Shoveling more money to the top via new middlemen we don't need like Uber and Airbnb? Mortgage backed securities? Blackrock's business model? For profit prisons? Moving money does not mean advancement in humanity or quality of life for every one.
- Racing0461 3y agoIt's easy to be generous with other people's technological advancements. I'm starting to think that the US senate is a feature and not a bug.
- refurb 3y agoAs Antonin Scalia (Supreme Court Justice) said to the US Senate ..."learning to love the gridlock" "And I hear Americans saying this nowadays, and there's a lot of it going around. They talk about a "dysfunctional government" because there's disagreement. And the Framers would have said, "Yes, that's exactly the way we set it up. We wanted this to be power contradicting power -- because the main ill that beset us" -- as Hamilton said in The Federalist when he talked about a separate Senate -- He said, "Yes, it seems inconvenient, but inasmuch as the main ill that besets us is an excess of legislation, it won't be so bad." This is 1787 -- he didn't know what an excess of legislation was." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggz_gd--UO0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggz_gd--UO0
- Racing0461 3y agoYep, too bad individual states don't seem to have the same guardrails. States that are d/d/d or r/r/r have free reign to pass whatever they want based on which way the wind blows.
- Xorakios 3y agoThe end of the future began with socialism. The only advance from the eastern alliance was proving that. (STNG)
- isodev 3y agoA better link would be to the Europa portal itself (not paywalled) [0]. I know some folks are quite allergic to the word “regulation” and I think in this case, we should call them “safeguards”. You can innovate all you want, just don’t hurt people in the process.
