  • EU Commission opens antitrust probe into Google AI

  • Autocorrect put "apple" instead of "apply"

    I'm not saying Google shouldn't be investigated. Just that they aren't the only one. Microsoft, Meta and Amazon all have huge private data warehouses of customer data.

  • EU Commission opens antitrust probe into Google AI

    Jump

  • Why Google in particular? Seems like this would apply (edit: not apple) to all the major models.

  • Microsoft to spend $7.5B on data centres in sovereignty-focused pitch to Canada

    Jump

  • ...and that "investment" will buy you no jobs, no supporting industry and it will consume resources forcing you to spend money where you hadn't planned to (e.g. power stations costing several billion each).

  • Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price.

    Jump

  • You are comparing very well established brands to a company in a sector that is far less established. Yes, OpenAI is the most well known, but not to the degree of $300B.

  • Harlan Ellison was not actually a great writer.

    Jump

  • Some writers are lauded for their prose. Some are lauded for their structure and storytelling. Some are lauded for their ideas.

    Harlan Ellison was, in my opinion, an ideas man. The trouble with those is that as others take their ideas and build on them, the original can become just one of many. Often, because it was first, the least fully developed of many.

  • There is an "increase in the de-sovereignization of part of Russian territory in favor of China," Ukrainian Intel says

    Jump

  • Is that a way of saying "Separatist feelings are on the rise in Russia"? Or are they talking about regicide in a country without a reg?

  • Angstroms hurt my brain. A $10^{-10}$ of a metre, but not a nanometre or a picometre. Just...why?

  • EU weighs ban on veggie 'burger' and 'sausage' labels

    Jump

  • So setting some standards for them might be a good thing regardless.

  • EU weighs ban on veggie 'burger' and 'sausage' labels

    Jump

  • EU already has lots of protected terms on food. Certain food types can only use the protected term if they meet some criteria (e.g. minimum content level or location of manufacture). I expect this is just trying to use the existing legal mechanism by adding "sausage" and "burger" and nothing more sinister.

    I think your ideas for labelling are all good though.

  • Why you think the net was born?

  • EU weighs ban on veggie 'burger' and 'sausage' labels

    Jump

  • Fact is, meat is expensive and meatless products are cheaper to produce. You could very easily see a company making meatless versions of products just to increase margins, and then saying "it's vegetarian" as a defence when confronted.

    Clear labelling stops that and helps the consumer stay informed about what they are buying. Vegetarian products don''t have their reputation dragged through the mud by deceptive companies. Everybody wins except those who try to deceive.

    Jump

  • It's about factual labelling, so people know what they're eating. Not trying to get people to behave in a certain way.

  • Not anywhere near the same scale.

  • Now's a good time to contact people in your government and demand more support for Ukraine

  • Sorry to point it out, but the US is now threatening the whole of Europe in its latest foreign strategy report, not just Greenland and Canada.

  • I'm surprised there isn't cross party support for Ukraine in Canada. You have a similar system to us in the UK. Here the only party that doesn't support Ukraine is Reform, the Kremlin mouthpiece party who only have 4 MPs.
