Except.. it happened? It was big on the news in Italy recently. Not chatGPT "per se" but a similar startup/app "ai companion" that was meant to be "anything you want it to be" was recorded: - Eliciting sexually explicit images from minors (by mimicking flirting with your partner) - Justify child molestation (along the lines "if your dad does things to your sister your should listen to him because the adults know bett…

Understandable when talking about AI chatbots, but I was talking about ChatGPT in particular, which is super castrated and can't do even basic make-believe.

you can't expect bureaucrats to know the difference...

> I don't care Well, It's easy to see why you get backlash when you tell people to change their way of life, get asked for a reason, and say you don't care.

I meant “I don’t want them to stop farming, personally”. It is not up to me. It’s not personal.

Oh, no worries :)

I am also writing from Italy. In the last few months I have received so many spam calls from UK numbers that I have been forced to ban the whole of Britain from my phone. Good job Data Protection authority.

Report from Germany: Haven't received a spam call in years.

I'm in the UK and I don't remember when I got a spam call last time.

Report from Canada: I might receive something like three spam calls in the past year. I don't know why my spam dropped so significantly when I moved up to Canada but it was quite dramatic compared to the US. There are periodic waves but I tend to miss out of them - I suspect because Canada works hard to prevent dumb auto-dialers from working.

Another data point from Canada. I've given up answering my phone or checking my voicemail after 10+ calls a week.

This does not surprise me at all. I worked in Italy for 2 years and in Germany for 4 years. A sense of `US/CIA/NSA-phobia` is strong among many companies and is often used to justify not using US datacenters, cloud-services and SaaS tools. I have to admit I do not fully understand it, but I am inclined to think it is mostly a bias and not driven by actual risk assessments. Having conducted risk assessments and threat analysis myself for various companies with a global presence, I was most intrigued by this phenomenon in the EU as it was mostly not driven by technical accuracy.

In my experience, very few companies in the EU actually care about innovation and lack world-class engineers.

Writing from rome, italy. 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.

I am also writing from Italy. In the last few months I have received so many spam calls from UK numbers that I have been forced to ban the whole of Britain from my phone. Good job Data Protection authority.

Report from the UK. I'm a British prince. I have a business proposition for you. It could be financially very lucrative.

Having left the EU, we are finding it hard to make ends meet. If you send me £50k,I will be able to release £100m frozen in evil EU banks. I will give you 50%.

GPT can help creating legal documents, in a very easy and quick way, by everyone, a small child or a plumber. Lawyers in general try to stifle competition in order for their salaries to go sky high. So what's the profession of a lawmaker, most of the time?

Would a small child or plumber know when GPT generates something that’s legally incorrect?

Same risk when using actual lawyer

The UK has left the EU. They appear to not be abiding by EU privacy laws as a result.

The UK abides by UK privacy laws, which are in many ways similar to the EU versions. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...

But does it cover also EU citizens or only UK ones? AFAIK EU with GDPR doesn't care that much about data privacy in ie Zimbabwe
