You can keep your insects and lab meat for yourself. I think they are doing a great job banning lab meat and insects flour... If they really did. Because last time I checked I read they were just displaying insects flour on a special shelf, not a ban.

It is neither "antiquated" nor "idiotic", I value good, tasty and healthy food, in that regards I think Italians and French are alike.

"Public" data sources aren't in conflict with GDPR

how do I enforce my right to have my personal data updated/forgotten with a neural network? or test it has been implemented?

How do you even test that it has it in the first place?

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?

They wouldn't, but there is a way to figure some stuff out. A person with no experience in the subject, could hire someone else, who has some knowledge and knows how to find his way into the laws, a lot cheaper than a lawyer.

Then this person will generate a legal document, which is eighty to ninety percent already there. The next step is to correct that remaining 10% of the document and you are good to go. Instead of paying 1000$ to a lawyer for legal fees, you paid 50 or a 100 bucks and the quality is the same, if not better. Specialized tools for that purpose are created as well, ai-lawyer or something like that.

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.

ChatGPT is just a user interface over an underlying set of ai products that OpenAI has and that third parties use through an API to offer AI enhanced products. e.g. ChatGPT is banned but Bing and every other Microsoft product that integrates openai gpt model works perfectly. That move was just dumb and I suspect also political

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.

In the US, I used to receive multiple spam calls a day. A few years ago, I turned on the iOS setting that sends all phone numbers not in my contacts straight to voicemail and haven't looked back. It's occasionally inconvenient—maybe once or twice a year I deal with a company that needs to call me. But if it's a call from a real person, I can always listen to the voicemail and call them back. Most spam calls either do…

Yeah it is a shame that it is has come to this but I do the same.

Singapore actually does drug tests on random Singaporeans returning from holidays to enforce exactly that.

Fun fact, canadians are warned they'll be tested for cannabis if they travel to singapore (one can end up in jail iirc): https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/singapore

Ahhh, yes, you have your preference, so you support regulations limiting the freedom of those like me who have a different one, rather than allowing the market to serve both segments.

While this is obviously a dumb move, there are 2 upsides for Italy: - Italy, like the rest of south europe is hobbled by an army of bureaucrats doing busywork and their jobs are the first to be threatened by an AI speaking fluent Italian. So it helps them to keep unemployment from getting even higher - It's an opportunity for an Italian company to create a model and grow in this window of opportunity. Italy has great…

> Italy has great engineers Does it? Ferrari's become a real joke in recent years. I do fully buy the bureaucrats being threatened by automation theory though. > this is obviously a dumb move It's also a dumb move by OpenAI to pretend they can get away with not processing data in the EU like any other service has to. Just spin up a few instances, what's the big deal? It's just complete arrogance on their part. GDPR i…

Can't talk about Ferrari, but Italy still has some fantastic manufacturing going on. I'm a big coffee guy, and Italian espresso machines and coffee grinders are top notch, only really rivaled by a handful of Scandinavian makers
