That did not stop the Government from pushing digital id in order to prevent illegal working, did it ?

Nice try ! But the fact that the solution to protecting children comes with the maximum boost of government powers in the online world (across the set of all possible ways to protect children) is not a coincidence.

Assuming "Russia" cares to and can find out who is running Anna.

Isn't it a bit early to draw such conclusions ? We are just getting started with AI use, especially in tech / engineering teams, and have only scratched the surface with regards to what is possible.

If you are wondering why the air quotes around "50% cheaper", it's because the price of electricity is set based on the price of gas. Crazy, right ? https://www.greeniow.org.uk/why-uk-electricity-prices-are-ti...

You do know that Palantir is now in the UK and getting access to data through the same "health" channels, don't you ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56590249

Not all AIs are created equal.

My real colleague list is well over 100ppl.

Why exactly you cannot get out and walk ? Just curious whether that's impossible or just not allowed ?

No! But we should allow them use of the regulated social media.

Maybe those people are trying to make the point that if the government can, without public scrutiny, declare any organisation as terrorist and then arrest anyone who wears t-shirts mentioning that organisation - then the government has way too much power.

Are these jobs even real ? I suspect they are using desperate candidates to train and calibrate their models.

As much as I dislike "the holy church" as an organization, I'm glad someone is stating the obvious facts.

Alpha Star was also trained initially from youtube videos of pros playing Starcraft. I would argue that it was pretty trivial a few years ago.

Cannot help comparing with another case: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/19/christine-laga...

My personal AI assistant read the article and labelled it #rubbish and #avoid.

What ?!?

Is not the first time people flee abroad while prosecuted in Romania. There are quite a few high profile cases, usually for corruption. My point is that anything is possible in Romanian justice, either through bribes or influence.

After more than 15 years of EU membership, there is no rule of law in Romania; a sad truth, obvious to anyone willing to take an interest. That's not Trump's fault, is it ?

I don't know where is the tech ability bar for spammers but this doesn't strike me as unusually clever or well prepared.

If that's true, this was just a test of a newly released "feature" rather than the "show of loyalty" itself.

Can Democracy be blocked by Instagram ?

That's just data. "Legacy data" was used here to suggest a legacy database/storage system. The reality is that the situation is not due to an insurmountable technical problem but due to a combination of lack of funds / prioritization / motivation / knowledge.

One of the past Labour governments decided that there should be no new grammar schools created. So the existing ones continued to function but, as some closed down, their number diminished.

The way I read it, Gizmodo cannot tell whether those jobs are fake or just never filled. How could anyone tell from outside ? The visible fact is that no-one is hired for those jobs.

After crying that it was the Russians who meddled in the Romanian presidential ellections, it turns out it was the incumbent parties, PNL and PSD, who were trying to sabotage USR and Lasconi. You couldn't make this up !

I don't have knowledge about the polls but someone made a good point elesewhere. His share of the vote might have increased after the Constitutional Court banned another (far right) candidate because they didn't like her discourse (crazy, right?) https://tvpworld.com/82727489/romanian-pm-suggests-constitut... Rather ironic that the PM criticized that decision while praising the court for this latest intrusion.

Not that is any of your business but I don't care about the candidate. I care about a corrupt system taking their abuse a step further, all in name of the democracy they are trampling on. The precendent I was talking about is not legal. If they will be allowed to do this, then they will never be stopped. How about Lasconi ? She would have won the presidency. Now, Ciolacu will.

Is not really breaking news that people can be influenced through media, is it ? I'm not surprised that the people in power had the brilliant idea to use this pretext to cancel the free vote and put back PSD on track to win (after they lost the race). But I'm amazed that so many educated people manage to rationalze it and are going along with it - while claiming to value democracy !

I was responding to the call to ban the social media. Of course regulation is needed. To start with, they should enforce KYC. Calls to ban something just because bad people are using it are often misguided (in particular, when good people find it useful too).
