Europe has the KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti-money laundering) regulations. To satisfy KYC/AML, providers of financial services on apps thus ask to see photo id and pair this with a photo taken by the app itself. I'm not

I get the gist of your argument, but the limit was also applied to paid drive accounts - in many media reports these were the people complaining. Doing the maths it also seems clear that this would be affecting paid users primarily, since t

If they understood the problem, they'd realise that there is value in addressing it head on. This is representative of Google's larger problem in the industry: users are skittish to uptake and rely on Google's new products be

Google: "Only affected a small number of users." This language really infers that they still don't understand why there was such a loud outcry and bad press. Even if it's just a small number of users, a company can'

The sloped face in your example is a fair demonstration of how a straightforward prompt is not being well rendered in Firefly. However, I believe it is unfair to hold it to such high standards or compare it to Midjourney. It is new beta sof

It's not specific to copyright, Adobe Firefly has trouble producing something as straightforward as a cat. This puts it on par with earlier renditions of competitor AI image generators, and just like those, I'm sure Adobe will wor

Potential upside: People might develop critical thinking skills and state-level disinformation campaigns may be drowned out by kids making fakes for the lulz.

I read that discussion and I don't see how it supports the idea - because the moment I broaden the law to cover VPNs in this way, then merely having access to the internet would fall into the same bucket.

The other reply to your comment is a curious one, they don't make their case and have taken a pretty aggressive tone while also giving you the straw man treatment. In the meantime I'll keep reading to see what I can find, I'm

As the AI can't do more than provide existing ratings (which are possibly bogus), the AI won't solve the trust issue with regard to endorsement (and I believe this is where the earlier comment was leading, that even for appropriat

While chilling that this is so broad and thus likely has many "unintended" loopholes that could be used inappropriately. The wording of the bill is limited to foreign adversaries (then lists them) - however the press I'm read

An ad historically served the right message in the right place at the right time to provide the consumer a piece of information which would lead to the revenue-generating activity. This concept extended well to online, where blogs and the l

tl,dr: Microsoft deliberately introduced bugs into their platform to destabilise Quicktime. The reason I bring it up here is because if Apple so desired they could engineer their platform in a way that prevented RA's software from func

When used this way the law only serves a purpose of being a tool of oppression. On Twitter an underaged person can trivially find porn, that would still be the case if every single German resident posted using the NSFW filters, or not even
