So we agree, we shouldn't let AI companies mix their products with government or ad-inspired insights, right?

Well, I think in the grand scheme of things (including on the ground), the range of safety faults that can be triggered by a simple bitflip at the wrong moment range from inconvenient to absolute disaster. So in that sense, I'm very ha

Why stop there? You want to refactor your codebase? Sure, but you need to adopt this dependency and this cloud service. Mixing Ads or sponsorships to influence LLMs is a really, really bad idea. Especially when they're competing with S

Are you sure? Because most of the world also doesn’t know how “this cloud thing” works… I think we need global, EU style consumer and data protection constraints before stepping into LLM-powered ads through personal assistants.

That’s not the same as using it to build models. You as an individual have the right to access this content as this is the purpose of this website. The content becoming the core of some model is not.

But is that a reason to keep doing it? Is the penalty the only reason people hold back on doing bad stuff?

I think a number of lawsuits are in progress of teaching them that particular lesson.

Perhaps we can add that using LLMs for logical, creative or reasoning tasks (things the technology isn’t capable of doing) is an anti-pattern.

It would be unfortunate if we have to fight this for every category of gizmos separately. It would be best if the next iteration of the consumer rights directive codifies this in general e.g. connected devices (even if the connection is jus

Indeed, especially with heavy vertical integration - when a company is both the phone, the tv, the tablet, the music, the headphones, the watch, the glasses, etc... they all become subject to the expectation that I as a citizen can change m

VPNs were already there, so why bother with a different approach. That's also something the whole "age verification", "let's protect the children from x" online is going to run into - the root cause of all that

It's not a lot of effort to make them appear as if connecting from the USA without the use of VPN. Giving them a label based on their ... current proxy? ... is not a solution at all.
