Just because you don't drink milk, doesn't mean that you'll be unaffected.
It cannot really create anything new and never seen, which most people will never do either.
So if we push away even more onto AI, I am afraid MANY(not all) that would previously gone through the discovery path won't stumble onto their next innovation, since they simply prompted a good baseline for ABC task, because we are lazy.
While it helps, it doesn't take a genius to tell the difference. Picking the great from the great apart, that'd be another story all together.
It is not like we threw away the dotcom advances, they were just put on hold for a while..
But will be interesting how the company is in 2 years, if quality falls and innovation stalls, or if it is as you say that they hit their ceiling and is already in "maintenance mode".
Guess just bad luck with Greenland turning them the complete opposite direction, since I was certain that Denmark would be the one of the last to go against US in any way.
While capitalism is a good model, it needs to be kept balanced, restricted..
Shareholder primacy is ruining everything, too much influence in politics from too many external sources.
If you moved back to a country you hadn't lived or spoken its language in for 10 years, you would find yourself that you don't have to relearn it, and it would come back quickly.
Also information is supposedly almost infinite, as with increased efficiency as you learn, it makes volume limits redundant.
Sure EU has some fkn horrible sides to it, such as the anonymous vote to get big stuff through when a majority should be enough as democracy depicts, but currently 2 states out of all EU states can block the big decisions...
You would not be privy to their internal processes, and thusfar not be able to prove wrong doing. You would just have to hope for a new Snowden and that the found wrongdoings would actually be punished this time.
So, attracting the international workforce to come Germany vs being able to fully utilise them are completely different ballparks..
Mindie failed because they got attacked by copyright claims by the big US tech, which obviously the chinese copycat was immune to, since China.
But yes agree, the elite extracting wealth from the colonies back in the days, and still are extracting wealth from your average Joe, deserves far worse.
Every attempt to ban the copycat app on Google store by the French was useless, since a new copycat app would pop up the next second.
So it's not like tiktok is some new innovation. What they did is still amazing, but malevolent, but credit where credit is due.
See Hualong One nuclear project that's operating at ~90% capacity and is ~1/3 of the price of solar, and 2/3 price of wind when comparing the same operation % capacity and taking into consideration the max life length of each technology.
And we're debating different worlds if your baseline is shareholder primacy.. While my baseline is a democratic society where corporations are tools to organize people to deliver value to society, and owing obligations to that society, not a mechanism to siphon wealth from the bottom to the top.
But at least when it comes to Chat Control, it is not EU level, it's member states pushing for it and at least for now EU blocking it, so at least for once it is a good thing and the minority of ~8 states can still block it for the majority, block it for all 27 states..
See opendesk.eu , it's a platform collaborating with many EU open-source developers, and it's funded primarily by the German government.
No idea how it is in the US, but in EU you can't really easily choose, it will by default use GPS+Galileo combined for better accuracy.
I guess you can through developer settings on android though.
