Are you saying that upon reading a sentence like
"Meta disagrees with European regulation"
That you don't have an immediate guess at which party you are most likely to agree with?
I do and I think most people do.
I'm not about to go around spreading my uninformed opinion though. What my comment said was that I was surprised at people's kneejerk reaction that Europe must be right, especially on HN. Perhaps I should have also chided those people for commenting at all, but that's hindsight for you.
- troupo 1y agoThe "kneejerk reaction" is precisely because it's Meta. You know, the poor innocent trillion-dollar supranational corporation whose latest foray into AI was "opt-in all of our users into training our AI and make the opt-out an awkward broken multi-step process designed to discourage the opt-out". Whereas EU's "heavy-handed and ill-conceived" regulations are "respect copyright, respect user choice, document your models, and use AI responsibly".
- rockemsockem 1y agoThis is literally an ad hominem. Meta is capable of having correct actions and opinions and you are grossly oversimplifying the EU regulation.
