Exactly, and the prupose of these legislation was supposed to be exactly that : force companies to integrate privacy in the core of their products, not to create a list of items to tick.

didn't they ? There is 4x more advertising for 4x less content and the recommendations are pretty crappy.


Don't mean to make Americans sad but "the US" doesn't win AI, a few oligarchs win AI (if US companies end up winning).

The question is not US v China, it's Peter Thiel and Elon Musk vs literally anything else (that would be clearly better).


The question who will benefit from wealth generated by AI is never clearly answered. Or it's hand-waved away with some productivity gains mumbo jumbo (that never result in less work, just more, because everybody loads up on AI tools) or the good old trickle down lie.


Successfully ? Maybe the OG survivor bias here..


I don't see why this is voted down, we've come close to complete destruction of the human race multiple times, why would the future make that less true?

Anyone pish poshing war should go fight in one, and then let me know their opinions.


Do you think your organisation as a whole is doing more ? Is the more being done actually useful ? i.e: is the outcome better ?


Not an org where everyone uses the tech to such a degree: also were late adopters of Docker for example, in large part got around to it due to my initiative (100-200 people org, so small).

But personally: yes and to an immense degree. The excuse “we don’t have the time for this” has pretty much evaporated when it comes to me. I do more than colleagues do and have gotten enough automation working that the AI will be made to iterate and fix its code to my desires before I ever see a line of it. I’ve added tests to entire systems thanks to it, fixed bugs across the codebase, added a bunch of additional quality control scripts and tools, improved CI, built and shipped not only entire features but systems. I can now work on about 3 projects in parallel, even if it can be super tiring.

But hey, I’m also working more on side projects outside of work and nice utilities I never had time for. I don’t really build in public sadly, but it very much is a force multiplier and makes me hate my job less sometimes (everyone has a horrible brownfield codebase or two).


This looks like a fairly typical engineer's solution to a complex social problem: it doesn't really solve the problem, introduces other issues / is gameable, yet unlikely to create problems for the creator. Of course creator answers any criticism of the solution with "Well make something better". That's not the point: this is most likely net negative, at least that is the (imo well supported) opinion of critics. If the cons outway the pros, then doing nothing is better than this.


"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

did you have any actual criticism?


cons to YOU outway the pros. pros to HIM outway the cons.


But humans react to this extremely differently than a self driving car. Humans take responsability, and the self-driving disengages and say : WELP. Oh sorry were you "enjoying your travel time to do something useful" as we very explicitely marketed ? Well now your wife is dead and it's your fault (legally). Kisses, Elon.


There’s nothing about the human reaction to a cloud of fog that can’t be replicated.


4 thousand :)


  ECB is doing one reckless thing after another which will inevitably lead to Germany leaving Eurozone at some point.
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say with the rest of it but this is nonsense. The ECB policy IS German, and has been for 3 decades. All of germany's economy is organized around the existence of the eurozone with Germany controlling a unified monetary policy.


One thing I can always be sure about, is reading premium gold plated, high quality, absolute dumbest nonsense about EU policies and state of EU on this website.


M1&2 yes with slight caveats, m3-5 not really (at least yet)
