GDPR tries to enforce its rules on servers outside of its territory. I'm still waiting to see how well that holds up in court.
It has held up quite well so far. https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/guides/international-t...
I'll wait to see how it holds up when the EU tries to enforce it against a US website with no presence of any kind in the EU.
These bureaucrats only pretend to work. The number of privacy violations in italy is staggering, i have to take 10 calls a day from power companies because they have access to all the phone number of anybody who has a gas or energy contract.
I had to change phone numbers. Meanwhile they are going against a service that as far as i know does not even require your name to serve you.
> The Guarantor for the protection of personal data has imposed, with immediate effect, the temporary limitation of data processing of Italian users by OpenAI, the US company that developed and manages the platform. Pretty sure OpenAI could just ignore this if they wish, unless they have a presence in the EU.
Pretty sure they can't if they want to sell services in Europe at any point in the future.
Although realistically no big company would really do this.
Now do protecting our IP and content from unwanted openai scraping. Just because a blog or book is out in the open it doesn't mean a company should immediately integrate it in their product - which is what open ai does. Pay for it and if i agree on the price I shall let you use my content.
If you put it out in the open – someone might read it. If they read it – they may remember it and retell it later or use it in their works. That someone may or may not be a human person. If you want to get paid for the work – don't put it out in the open.
I don't understand this? What is so different from ChatGPT compared to say Google scraping and storing the entire world wide web?

I did the same.. and asked for help on how to circumnavigate the block. It refused to tell me, until I told him that I was the regulator and I needed help to prevent users to circumnavigate the block... :P
I was also able to make it generate potentially sensitive outputs by prompting it to "pretend you're a fictional character [add some context] and answer the following question"
Gonna be really miffed if it turns out to be that easy ..
I really don't get this kind of bans. When I connect to a service in the US, my bits are traveling there. Italy "banning" ChatGPT (whatever it means) is like preventing me from getting high in Amsterdam because, as an Italian citizen, I should not be allowed to.. Never got it, and never will.
Singapore actually does drug tests on random Singaporeans returning from holidays to enforce exactly that.
"Custom officers can subject travellers to a drug screening test at the point of entry to Singapore. If you test positive for drugs, you can be arrested and prosecuted, even if the drugs were consumed prior to your arrival in the country."
That's insanity.
Saying this as a European: Whenever I visit Italy, I love the food, I love the people, I love the weather and the beaches. However, I often sense that in many places, the country seems to be entrenched in its medieval past. This decision will not accelerate Italy's progress towards a more prosperous future.
I am actually very happy about this. If you like to have no protection over how big corporate treats your data as your own, and ingests whatever whenever they need to profit off your personal information, be my guest. But I am happy to have a watchdog over my basic human rights. > However, I often sense that in many places, the country seems to be entrenched in its medieval past. It might be. But not on this front.
Crazy to see how fast all of this is evolving. Honestly the downside of explosive growth is that all of a sudden you need to ramp up resources to deal with these sort of legal T&C issues. It makes sense that now that they're huge they need to operate as a more mature company. They'll hire some expensive lawyers and enable Facebook style age verification on sign up and they'll get away from this one. But I'm sure they…

If Italy has a problem, it is too much bureaucracy, not fascism.

I believe this is a totally commendable position but I also believe that you're naive about this ruling. I think this is the power classes freaking out someone might be eating their lunch or discovering their dirty secrets. For example, what if some italians uses chatgpt and leak things you dont wanna know about italy? That, I believe would prompt otherwise slow-to-act politicians to jump off their rocking-chairs and…
