No, it cannot. The fundamental problem between the US and EU it is that in the US if something is not explicitly forbidden, it is allowed and in the EU if it is not explicitly allowed it is forbidden.
You cannot have innovation at the speed and scale that you have in the US because the legislation is cumbersome and there is no unified market with the same rules.
- thinkingtoilet 4mo agoIt's not just that. The US models were trained partly due to massive theft. They illegally acquired (not used, that was legal) massive amounts of texts that they trained their model on. If you or me stole that much we would be in prison but if you're rich you get to do it and pay a small fine. It's not even the laws. It's in the US you're allowed to break the laws.
- ExoticPearTree 4mo agoI am of the opinion that if it is on the internet, it is free. Just like I find free movies, so do AI companies find free books or whatever they need for their models. What's so hard to understand?
- thinkingtoilet 4mo agoYour opinion doesn't matter when it comes to matters of the law, for right or wrong.
- ExoticPearTree 4mo agoI thought this was the internet where my opinion mattered the most.
- amarant 4mo agoWhat? Your comment is 100% incorrect. In the EU everything is permitted unless explicitly forbidden. Source: I am European.
- flopbob 4mo agoIt's sometimes very telling when other people think of you and your country. While I do agree we in Europe have sometimes too many rules, but I just can't understand the American obsession with freedom and being able to do things to the detriment of society
- okanat 4mo agoIt's also quite weird that Americans are the first ones to go full judgemental mode as it is demonstrated in this comment section. When I visited there, I also found people to be overly reactive and judgemental of seemingly minor things and quite obsessed with wealth. I love the fact that nobody gives a flying fuck about anything other strangers are doing in Europe. That's not to say that there are no bureaucratic inefficiencies in Europe. There are a lot. France, Germany, Nordics and other members of the EU / EEA should strive to strengthen the industries and cut out the bullshit. It is a must to wake up from Boomer-pensioner-induced sleep and NIMBYsm, not for joining a stupid arms race but being able to provide a peaceful prosperity for our children. It is possible to enjoy quite a lot human rights and I think they are not a blocker.
- ExoticPearTree 4mo ago> quite obsessed with wealth You do know it is better to cry in a Mercedes than on a bike, no?
