Are you aware that there’s been a tonne of negotiation going on between the UK and EU and there’s a big summit tomorrow to announce a comprehensive reset of the relationship and that this is just one aspect of it that has leaked?
If not you could read the article which talks about that.
I’m struggling to understand what the criticism is here, minster for technology meets with tech companies too much?
Information published by the government shows that from July 2024 until December 2024 – the most recent period for which there is data – Kyle held meetings with people representing or advocating for technology companies 28 times.
Google, Amazon and Microsoft were present at five of those meetings, the data shows, while Meta attended four.
So the big tech companies were present at ~1 in 6 of the meetings with tech companies.
In August Kyle met all four of those companies, and others from the industry, to discuss AI regulation.
This year he has met AI companies several times, according to documents obtained under freedom of information rules by the website tech.eu. Those meetings include three with the US AI company Anthropic, as well as a two-day flurry of meetings in February during which he saw executives from OpenAI, the chip designer Arm, Google DeepMind, ElevenLabs and Synthesia.
Maybe I’m being naive somehow but that all reads as minister for X meets influential people in X to discuss X.
So despite me giving my opinion that that style of posting seems (to me) to be condesending you decided to apply that same style of message, which i just said I thought was invasive, to me?
I get you think you are being nice but trying to force unearned intimacy comes off as creepy.
And unless you are Stephan King or the like exactly how are you going to get the publishing cartel (I think they re consolidated downs to 3-4 publishers now) to change their contract to not include this? Their response will almost certainly be either “that’s non-negotiable” or “ok then you get half as much money”.
Maybe this is a culture clash thing, but FWIW, to me your post comes across as incredibly condesending asking a total stranger about their mental helth and implying its bad like you were their close friend.
As much as you can hold a computer manufacturer responsible for buggy software.
It absolutely was, I couldnt write a poem to save my life.
I dont disagree with that, but you said “probably just as fascist as republicans” which is obviously not true as, again, only one party is using paramilitary violence to target unwanted groups and political opponents.
Don’t get me wrong the democratic party is shit, but I don’t recall paramilitary thugs dragging people off the streets and disappearing them under Biden or Obama.
Sure! Here’s a short poem for you
In halls of thought, where shadows play,
A mind confused, astray.
Each differing view, a coded line,
"An AI speaks," he would opine.
No flesh and blood, no heart that beats,
Just algorithms, cold repeats.
His lonely truth, a fragile hold,
Where human voices turn to cold.
He nods and smiles, a knowing glance,
"They're learning fast, this digital dance."
Unaware the folly lies within,
mistaking minds for silicon skin.

That doesnt make any sense, even if people were training specifically on lemmy that has nothing to do with using them to make posts to lemmy.
Yup, I very much doubt more than a handful of c-level people at the big tech companies went through these phases. The change is a result of money people who dont give a damn about technology getting a tighter and tighter grip over tech companies and pushing out the people who do care.
I think is one of the main reasons for why there is such a lot of hostile discussion online, people read something which they infer as a hint of something they dont like and from there extrapolate into the worst person they imagine who could be saying that and proceed to righteously strike them down (with words).
Unless they are lowering standards there will be practially no US beef imported to the UK. Almost all US beef cows are pumped up with growth hormones and thats not legal to sell for human consumption in the UK.
That’s a an admirable stance for you to take. It’s not admirable to insist that everyone else is held to what you personally are willing to hold yourself to.
Wanting to live in a better society doesnt free you of the requirements of living in the current one. Insisting all writing must be freely given away is equivalent to saying only the independently wealthy get a voice.
When I did my undergrad the core modules had upwards of 400 people in them, never had a single multiple choice test in my entire degree. Thats a choice not a neccessity.
He could see AI being used more immediately to address certain “low-hanging fruit,” such as checking for application completeness. “Something as trivial as that could expedite the return of feedback to the submitters based on things that need to be addressed to make the application complete,” he says. More sophisticated uses would need to be developed, tested, and proved out.
Oh no, the dystopian horror…
I hope you dont play video games or stream HD video, given that they use more electricity for less social benefit than this would.
