  • Can we implement Chat-Control-Control?

    Monitor all EU Parliament politicians’ devices and computers to find out each time some lobbyist calls them to enact chat control. Of course, most communications have nothing to do with chat control, so they’ll have nothing to hide, yes? Let’s see how much they would like that.






  • Personally it’s because the harder something is pushed to me by large corporations, the more skeptical I am to begin with.

    It is your stance, you don’t have to compulsively change other people’s minds, let them live their lives and you live how you want. For people that are wanting to listen to you, you can tell them how you feel about AI (or perhaps specifically AI chatbots) in both subjective and objective terms. If you want to prepare research and talking points, I think the most effective thing is to have a couple examples such as the Google AI box putting out objectively wrong info with the citation links leading to sites that don’t back up any claim in it. Or how the outputs of comic style image generation tend to look like knock-off Tintin and appear uninspiring and unsettling. How reading generated paragraphs, looking at images and videos of fluffy slop is simply a waste of time for you. Just mix that with all the rest of the shortcomings people have provided and you’ll make for a good discussion. Remember, the point is not to change people’s minds or proselytize but rather to explain why you hold your opinion.








  • I suppose we could.

    One tradeoff is that the planks or finish products will have to be wrapped in very large amounts of plastic to avoid damage in-transit.

    Another hurdle is there would need to be major changes in operation. Did you see those funny shaped boats that drag logs around in the water? You can’t do that with finished lumber or manufactured products. They should expand the E&N railway to accommodate freight delivery and open passenger service.
