All of that happens only if the user chooses to do it though. Anybody is free to stay in the caged Apple garden. The EU just wants them to leave the door unlocked.

Doesn't split as easily on an Intel GPU as ona NVIDA GPU though, regarding software support. Sure, it's probably not too difficult if you know what you're doing, but not sure how big that market would be.

I think I would pay it. The peace of mind knowing that my every move isn't tracked and being used to sell me stuff or engagement bait me is invaluable tbh

Of course they speak swedish. But often, they do not reason in Swedish and do not search in swedish. Swedish makes up a tiny fraction of training data, while the vast majority is English, from the US. Which means the answers will always hav

I highly doubt that hiring people who don't even speak the language would result in a better model for Norwegian. If anything, they could pay Anthropic for some tips and tricks for training. But that does not seem necessary as Deepseek

There's only so much you can do with 5 million people. Especially in a field where network effects amd scale matter a lot.

None of that even addresses the problem described, because none of the languages you mentioned would be French in the described example.

Even if the model will reply in my language, I often notice it searching in english. Or thinking in english. There's always something lost in translation. Sometimes it's just minor nuances. Other times it mangles the legal facts w

He said they don't rely on it. They can use fingerprinting. Obviously they'll still use any other data you give them, including IP addresses or cookies.

They currently seem to have the opposite of tricks up their sleeve, resulting in their sales in Europe either dropping sharply or stagnating...

Visa and Mastercard already are a single point of failure (see e.g. the French judge that cannot use it anymore because the US government did not like it when he did his job). This way, there'll be at least two points of failure.

TOS are not laws. They often conflict with actual laws, and are then void. So you can't just say "It's in the TOS", you do have to look at actual laws and whether they may be violated (Because it is anticompetitive or wh

You couldn't be more wrong. There's no equal footing when propaganda buys you thousands of bots to parrot what you want on every related post. And there is no ability to "reach everyone" when intransparent algorithms dec

Not sure if the history lessons are a joke, but sugar is rightfully taxed or otherwise disincentivized in many countries, because it is highly harmful to society as a whole. Sports cars definitely get some yes answers, and are also rightful

Crippling gambling addictions are a well studied issue that has ruined many lives. It is not a "moral" problem.

Recently replaced the battery and charging port of my Fairphone. 5 screws, two plucked components, done. Hopefully this means that soon you won't have to buy a specific company's phone for this marvelous experience.

TOS are not laws. In fact, they often partially violate laws and those parts are then void. In some countries, anything written in TOS that is not "expected to be there" is void.

Why does nobody ever think of the poor megacorporation? I mean maybe you're even right and they care a little bit about people being scammed. But if you believe that the scamming thing is any more than a pretense for further establishi

It might be pro consumer if the power were lying in some kind of democratically justified organization, which then decides which apps are allowed and which are not. This way, consumers are helpless victims of the same megacorporation, which

Nothing conspirational about it. Getting data that their users or customers don't actually intend to give is the bread and butter of these companies. And they will do what they can to get it.

The people controlling Palantir are openly anti-democratic. They see technology as a means of controlling and ruling the common folk. They said so, repeatedly, in public, of their own volition.
