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."…

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.

Some key data points, about Malta: Malta is among Europe's leading adopters. The country ranks first for workplace AI usage and third overall for general AI adoption. Beyond AI, Malta also has one of the highest rates of social media usage in Europe. This initiative is less about AI literacy or OpenAI and more reflective of the Malta government's policy of making technology accessible across all society. It's not the…

Press freedom is absolutely not an issue. Certainly much much better than, say, the UK's where getting arrested for a tweet is common.

Regarding DCG's case: trial of the prime suspect due in July I believe. DCG's tragic case was a one-off. Attacks on democracy are much more common and frequent in other Western countries.

It's a one year free trial, after that it costs money.

What a great marketing campaign. How huge was the bribe from OpenAI to the Maltese government to sell out their citizens?

It’s like what Perplexity did with the PayPal userbase.

Not sure why a bribe would’ve involved: it’s a win-win situation, especially near elections.

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.
