Reply to comment by pmjm in Exclusive: ChatGPT in the spotlight as EU & Breton bats for tougher AI rules by HeroldMcHerold
This article reads like Breton wants to stop any open source competition to ChatGPT, and wants such systems only available under tight control from large corporations.
That seems like a threat to ensuring that humanity can enjoy the benefits of such technology equally.

They can use their detector to train a better model that is able to defeat the detector. They are also likely doing this so that they can try to minimize the amount of AI content in future training datasets.

LAION and other groups are working on open source chatbots right now as we speak, and they're making great progress.

This sounds like they are selling access to centralized database (that will likely be easy to manipulate), and saying that they want laws to mandate the use of their product.

This seems a lot worse than the title implies. They are banning all AI tools, which is completely insane.

The reporter either couldn't even do the bare minimum of research to see that its a for profit company since 2019, or they failed to double check the output of the automatic news writing bot (ironically spreading misinformation). Why should I trust the article when it fails to get the basic information right?

Seems like it would have been easier for them to reach it as it was on land, rather than at sea like this whale.

The digital watermark though risks damaging the model outputs, and would rendered useless when changing generated the text output yourself.

Dude, have you ever been to a public library before? You can literally find books on how best to kill people and get away with it, how to cook drugs, how to make explosives, and all sorts of things. Why do you want to do the digital equivalent of burning libraries?

In practice though cryptography regulations in the US simply require notifying the government agency of the release. That's all there is, so its not really regulation of what you can and cannot do with it.

I guess that's what passed for a "graphic sexual image" back in the 1980s lol

This seems like it could have been a major security issue if it was included as part of the legislation.

Reply to Call for dating apps to require criminal checks as Australian government plans summit on safety by ihavestrings
The Australian government (eSafety Commissioner) is already demanding that companies implement encryption backdoors and mandatory proactive scanning for anything potentially "illegal". Source
I don't think people realize just how bad things are in Australia right now for anyone who cares about privacy and security online.
Its also interesting that r/Australia always calls out their governments anti-privacy bullshit, while non Australians on this subreddits are sometimes supportive of articles like these.

These authoritarians want encryption backdoors and mass surveillance tools deployed on every device and service.

This appears to be the poison pill he talks about. The creator can restrict usage and force updates upon users.

Whenever I hear about ancient Mayans, I can't help but think of their absolutely horrific culture of human sacrifice:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice_in_Maya_culture
They liked to horrifically kill children:
> He said children were often thrown alive to their watery graves to please the Mayan rain god Chaac. Some of the children were ritually skinned or dismembered before being offered to the gods, he said.

Reply to [N] GitHub CEO on why open source developers should be exempt from the EU’s AI Act by EmbarrassedHelp
The future of open source AI seems to be up in the air right now, with the EU potentially seeking to place heavy restrictions on generative AI that would severely hamper or outright ban open source projects.
The EU industry chief Thierry Breton wants generative AI like ChatGPT to be considered "high risk" and thus tightly controlled (including downstream applications), which would make open source versions extremely difficult or even impossible to release: https://www.reuters.com/technology/eus-breton-warns-chatgpt-risks-ai-rules-seek-tackle-concerns-2023-02-03/
