For everyone in the EU: Copying and pasting sensitive data (like customer data) into AI tools is a violation of the GDPR, and potentially the AI act, which will be enforced soon. These violations come with hefty fines.

You’re brushing too broad a stroke GDPR only affects personal information. There’s plenty of sensitive business information that is not covered by GDPR - for example per business customer revenue data - that is legal to put into an AI tool but your employer may not want you to.

But the normalisation of copying and pasting internal data into external tools is a recipe for complete disaster.

I'd be surprised if there weren't already phishing attacks that work by pretending to be a LLM.

We had a mandatory ChatGPT training course at work. You had to sign up in limited space classes. This is a large company, needless to say it was chaos to get a significant number of people to participate. I got a spot. We were shown how to copy and paste data from excel and other data sources into the chat interface. We had sample data to work with, there was always someone in class who would say "mine didn't work."…

You do understand if every person in Malta were to use chatgpt regularly it wouldn’t even show up as a blip on their MAU chart Cue up the next cynical bad take.

In practice since this is valid for a year it is essentially a free-trial they are giving away and they hope that it may generate additional revenue at some point after that

Malta is an important component of Russia's money laundering Laundromat system. "Malta’s corruption is not just in the heart of government, it’s the entire body" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/03/malta-...

This article is more than 6 years old

Yup, and their Transparency International score has been getting worse since, with only a small improvement this year.

I would be cautious to advocate these laws that strongly in the context of AI tools: Companies and employees always make their decisions based on a risk/reward basis. Sometimes a commercial contract (like Microsoft Copilot) is enough to cover your ass and to meet the needs of the regulator. Even if the operator is exactly the same. Laws are constraints to navigate, but if you are successful enough (ahem, rich) then t…

What is it with this new one line paragraph style?

EDIT: Needless to say I loath it and I don't know why.

Half of people are below average, these classes raise the floor they don’t expand the ceiling

Then they sound good, same as basic computer literacy classes!

I agree with you I could have made it more compact by making 1 point = 1 paragraph, sometimes it’s a bit difficult to cleanly articulate my ideas, and I try not to clean them up with GPT first in order to keep the original tone.

For the not liking it part, I guess that if someone writes a long text, there are more chances to find at least a point of disagreement than a very short sentence

They lower the ceiling since now the other half have to deal with the AI slop.
