I don’t need an incentive to be truthful. I don’t know why someone should misrepresent readily checkable facts.

Is that clickfarm your moneymaker? jfc

YSK that this is a) ragebait farming you for ad revenue and b) disinformation.

In the FT article referenced, there is no mention of open source.

Neither on his LI, which has a free access link to the FT article: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kent-walker-5963bb198_google-warns-eu-against-erecting-walls-activity-7428100995995398144-I9Ac

I heard that the reason why no one uses the ID card option is that the privatized post office lobbied the government to make it so expensive as not to compete with their service.

That may be part of the reason they are doing this. There’s a noticeable push for more regulation and enforcement.

Some of the deadliest wars in history were civil wars. The Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864) is up there with WW2.

A) Civil wars are wars by definition.

B) Some of these conflicts were international. EG the 1956 Hungarian Uprising pitched Soviet-Russian forces against Hungarians.

A number of writers and political commentators considered Berlusconi’s political success a precedent for the 2016 United States presidential election of real estate tycoon Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States,[250][251][252] with most citing Berlusconi’s panned prime ministerial tenure and therefore making the comparison in dismay. Roger Cohen of The New York Times wrote: “Widely ridiculed, endlessly written about, long unscathed by his evident misogyny and diverse legal travails, Berlusconi proved a Teflon politician … Nobody who knows Berlusconi and has watched the rise and rise of Donald Trump can fail to be struck by the parallels.”[253] In The Daily Beast, Barbie Latza Nadeau wrote: “If Americans are wondering just what a Trump presidency would look like, they only need to look at the traumatized remains of Italy after Berlusconi had his way.”[254] During the 2016 United States election, Politico described Berlusconi as the closest parallel to Trump in a historical world leader.[255] In a piece written for Slate and published in April 2017, Lorenzo Newman noted the similarities in the career trajectories between the two.[256]

It’s what Silvio Berlusconi’s sex parties with underage prostitutes were called.

He was a media billionaire who used his control of the media to get elected prime minister and evade prosecution for various crimes.

Bunga bunga parties seem a more internationally popular Italian political custom.

Found ze German.

You never want to know how the sausage is made.

When I saw a model trained on DOOM 1-2 years ago, I didn’t think this would be going anywhere. I have to admit, I was wrong. Now, the amazing potential is obvious.

Genie, quit livin’ on dreams

Genie, life is not what it seems

Genie!

Heh. No way. The EU has much more onerous IP laws than the US. That’s one reason why the EU can’t compete in tech.

EG search engines like Google process copyrighted content to make it searchable. When they started in the 1990s that would have been plain criminal in Germany. Once the internet turned out to be a big thing, this was legalized.

We can now see the same thing with AI. It’s just not possible to be competitive for European companies. Companies like Huggingface (originally French) or Elevenlabs (Polish) fucked off to the US. Mistral stayed in Europe and is being left behind. The early models with which they made a splash were almost certainly trained illegally, but the AI Act made it clear that Europe would double down on past mistakes.

Despite the fact that European IP laws hurt our economy and culture, they have only been expanded in the last decades. Despite the fact that the major content owners are American.

Oh. So that’s the same tom as in atom.

Is this a joke about the EU’s desire to curb misinformation? Like, I’m 90% sure that you can’t be serious.

Everything you wrote is factually wrong.

Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn’t count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.

Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.

@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.
