As a citizen I’m perfectly happy with the AI Act. As a “person in tech”, the kind of growth being “stunt” here shouldn’t be happening in the first place. It’s not overreach to put some guardrails and protect humans from the overreaching ideas of the techbro elite.
- Aeolun 1y agoAs a techbro elite. I find it incredibly annoying when people regulate shit that ‘could’ be used for something bad (and many good things), instead of regulating someone actually using it for something bad.
- isodev 1y agoYou’re too focused on the “regulate” part. It’s a lot easier to see it as a framework. It spells out what you need to anticipate the spirit of the law and what’s considerate good or bad practice. If you actually read it, you will also realise it’s entirely comprised of “common sense”. Like, you wouldn’t want to do the stuff it says are not to be done anyway. Remember, corps can’t be trusted because they have a business to run. So that’s why when humans can be exposed to risky AI applications, the EU says the model provider needs to be transparent and demonstrate they’re capable of operating a model safely.
- apwell23 1y agomain thing humans can't be excused is poverty. Which is the path EU is choosing. EU has been enjoying colonial loot for so long that they have lost any sense of reality.
- isodev 1y agoI feel a lot of emotions in your comment but no connection with reality. The AI Act is really not that big of a deal. If Meta is unhappy with it, it means it’s working.
- tim333 1y agoA problem with the EU over regulating from its citizens point of view is the AI companies will set up elsewhere and the EU will become a backwater.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoYep, that's why they need to regulate ASML. Tell ASML they can only service 'compliant' foundries, where 'compliant' foundry means 'only sells to compliant datacenters/AI firms'.
- daedrdev 1y agoThats how you get every government to throw money at any competitor to ASML and try to steal their IP.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoFrom Europe's POV, it's better to compete in an area Europe leads (fab equipment) than an area Europe lags (frontier models).
- qwe----3 1y agoAMSL EUV technology was developed in the US you know. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but AMSL follows US export controls
- isodev 1y agoFOMO is not a valid reason to abandon the safety and wellbeing of the people who will inevitably have to endure all this “AI innovation”. It’s just like building a bridge - there are rules and checks and triple checks
- tim333 1y agoAt the moment they are more like chatbots and I'm not sure they need the same sort of rules and triple checks as bridges.
