    “It’s bad because of EU regulation” is the new “it’s bad because it’s woke”.

        True, but it’s recently crossed the pond to Silicon Valley. I think it was when the DMA affected Apple that a lot of hackernews became EU regulation experts and started grappling with the fact that laissez-faire is seen as a dirty word in the country where it originated.

        Was that before or after hairdressers gave up on him?

      I actually appreciate the EU regulations. The real question is whether companies are creative enough to come up with new solutions that fit.

        Do any “ai” companies have a business plan more sophisticated than

        1. steal everything on the web
        2. buy masses of compute with vc money
        3. become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement
        4. ?
        5. profit

        I don’t recall seeing any signs of creativity, or even any good ideas as to what their product is even for, so I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for one of the current crop to manifest creativity now.

        Perhaps I missed something, though?

          AFAICT basically all of them failed at the “become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement” part - turns out actively stealing from some of the most litigious and DMCA-happy motherfuckers on the planet was an easy way to get mired in lawsuits.

          Bonus points for becoming essentially a money pinata for their lawyers in the process.

          I get your point but I feel it goes a tad bit too far. It’s like that now, but it used to have the capability to adapt well and also come up with original ways of combining things. I actively leveraged that capability for my library. Rn it’s unfortunately on pause due to the regression, at least within the NL/EU.

            you appear to be lost, this isn’t “sama stan club”

            and by library I hope you don’t mean a place of knowledge other humans rely on
