It's a common problem amongst anyone who isn't an EU superfan because these organizations all have confusingly similar names. Council of Europe being different to the European Council is a popular source of thinkos, and none of it

The prevailing world view of SF and that part of California in general states that the root cause of crime is society at large, and not so much the individual criminal. In this world view a criminal is to be pitied and improved or perhaps j

That exists but it goes by names we don't use much here like corporate paper, bonds, etc. Bigger than a bank loan but smaller than a (modern) VC round.

Yes their bias and lack of reliability will be their undoing in the end rather than any defeatist attitude, but one of the reasons to not set up state backed entities in the first place is how hard it is to get rid of them even when they st

Yes, but the reason it's harder to get money for those sorts of businesses is because they're much less likely to generate large returns. The BBC couldn't / didn't want to find any tech entrepreneurs for this articl

Yes. It depresses me no end that this comes from the BBC. How predictable. You can argue that the Californian sun-always-shines mentality is unrealistic, but you can't argue with the results it generates. Perhaps the British attitude i

A nice analogy but it doesn't work. There aren't that many entrepreneurs who failed multiple times before succeeding at a business. If you look at the big businesses that dominate the US tech economy, they're all first time f

"Definitely" is too certain w.r.t. law, but it's pretty obvious how you'd argue these fall under copyright. The difficulty would really be the opposite, it'd be arguing the weights are not derived works of the cop

There are also laws/government initiatives about the use of Welsh in Wales, so the theory that it's some sort of neo-fascism doesn't fit well there (Wales is run by Labour).

The European left does like to engage in US bashing, but you won't find many British conservatives making claims like that about the USA. And it's the conservatives who tend to win elections. So, don't generalize too far.

Those policies aren't actually popular though. They were were forced by the EU, other pan-European NGOs and a political class that has things nicely sewn up (i.e. if the major parties agree then you have nobody to vote for). Europe has

That's not a cultural export. Opposition to abortion is found around the world and European abortion laws were generally more tough than US laws before Roe v Wade was overturned. Opposition to abortion is largely associated with Cathol

For some reason you've got two replies talking about the "far right", missionaries in Africa and other weirdness that doesn't apply to Europe and never comes up anywhere. The way most people experience this is partisan i

They don't control global news. How many people watch Fox or CNN outside the USA? The actual way this gets exported is via the HR firms and executive picks of American corporations. That then affects the funding of movies, TV shows, vi

Memory stopped being a big limiter on the desktop way before 2014. You'd want to go back to the 90s for it to be a major change in how things were done. So, back when people had 8mb of RAM or maybe 16mb if the machine was high spec and

No he didn't, he was already convinced of that before he started talking to the AI. Read the original Belgian article. The text can be found in JSON in the page source code.

Why would an AI be liable for saying things that a human could also say without liability?

You would hope so but this guy wasn't really killed by AI. At most the AI agreed with him when he came up with the batty idea to sacrifice himself to save the climate, but his depression and withdrawal came before he ever started with
