- the privacy commissioner is 78
- he doesn't have any tech background, he's a law academician
- the privacy commission office's home page still has a fax number on their front page, as of this morning
- the commissioner boasted in TV that he signed Musk's AI temp ban letter
- the official reason of the ban is that 12-year-old kids could potentially use the AI service, and OpenAI should instead filter them out
- no evidence that ChatGPT is bad for 12 years old is given
- no study on how many kids below 13 use the site, in relation to how many people overall in Italy
- he acted alone, instead as part of a commission, because he claims it was urgent
- no matter what, he is not liable for his actions by Italian law
Connect the dots anyway you like. I chose the following narrative:
At 78 he doesn't give a :poop:, he doesn't like progress because he's a boomer and abused his office to make a political statement because no one can touch him.
