Same, good to find out though. Good thing is some phone manufatures will now actually have to do something about poor efficiency, if they want to sell more.

I always look at it when buying machines for my home, why not a phone.

How can you hate on smart homes, when it’s a concept in itself with 100 different use cases.

My home cuts of the power for my standby devices when I leave it and nobody’s there. It makes sure everything is locked at night. It literally saves me 100’s on heating.

My light dims and uses less power when the sun is down. Good for the eyes and the bill.

It can run my washing machine when power is cheapest.

So now, if it does all that, making sure less ressources are spent, both money and CO2, and privacy is good, then why on earth you even hate it, let alone have an opinion about it. Why you care?

It goes up if they dont comply. This is first offence since the law came into effect.

Maybe I know nothing, but my VPN always defaults to Netherlands in the EU.

Could it be that its just hosted there through some tunnel VPN or some shit?

I dont know how it works, so maybe its all wrong.

Exactly, and you dont need to be consistent in this case. You set examples for the biggest offenders, and then others would think twice.

Also, you need to qualify as a gate keeper to be in the lime light. EU is going for the biggest, not everyone at once.

And for the Amazon example: they are only big in some EU countries, and its not close to US popularity. They might not be a gate keeper here.

I think you would assume OpenAI and Microsoft had the backing for doing it though.

Great results. Would an AI build for this not be better, or is it just meant as a kind of benchmark for LLMs?

They already have credit score that you obtain by doing what they tell you to with your money.

EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.

Never voted through.

EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.

Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.

Everything is provocative if your dick is orange.

EU and its contries are pro open source and I fucking love it.

Cant find anything in there thats worse than today tho.

The presidental candidate from a few years back, Andrew Yang, even championed thorium reactors in the US, and now here we are.

If its because hes part of the opposition, its worrying. But Bluesky mentions he also violates their ToS, so it might be worse in some way.

Theres too much missing information to make an opinion, but we should keep an eye out either way for more examples of this.

Probably, but it could also have been incredibly racist and whats worse.

This guy really needs to show what he posted. Why hide that.

Literally the rest of world against these fuckers soon.

It’s a tool for censuring things. And it will hide behind a very few number of cases where its put to good use.

But most of the time, its probably gonna get misused.

Yeah, but I think they are already allowed to do that, if you dont opt out. This is about AI training with data from their own platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Threads, where they werent allowed before.

They harvest your data to sell like they did yesterday. Nobody should be fooled by that.

People based in the EU who use our platforms can choose to object to their public data being used for training purposes.

And last in the article it says it works with EU regulators to ensure its legal, basically.

Also, they are only allowed to use post, comments etc from adults.

So yeah, they probably scrape less data in EU. At least what they are telling.
