We absolutely should sunset those laws. If they are needed they can be voted upon again by parliament, and will no doubt pass. In fact I would say not only should all laws have built in expiration dates, such expiration dates should be shor

This. Frankly I don't want to spend 2 hours reading documentation just to find out some arcane incantation that gets the computer to do what I want it to do. The interesting part of programming to me is designing the logic. It's t

She's right, they have bureaucracy and eurocrats

That's not actually true. Many times in corporate environments you don't have permissions to do that, and let me tell you it's a pain when you 5 layer down a RDP rabbit hole to figure out which locale you're using

I have asked it about myself, it got some stuff right and most of it wrong, just as expected. It's little different from rolling a dice to pick the next word, should that be made illegal? Of course not. The way these llms works are ext

This is a stupid lawsuit and I hope noyb loses it. If I make a website where you press a button and get a random string, should I worry about being sued under gdpr for defamation? Particularly when I make it clear it's getting a random

Do you think investors just give money away?

That's called outlawing it

by johngladtj 2y ago
That's a great of sidesteping the massive costs of doing all those things

Yes of course. After all what could be more undemocratic than, let me check, "voting to change your countries foreign policy" Pro-tip: if your democracy doesn't support changing course on foreign policy engagements, you'
