Shooting yourself in the foot so others can’t shoot you in the foot? No.

How about outlawing and banning the shooting of feet instead? That might work better.

No disrespect to you, but it is clear you don’t understand the technology well.

Algorithms are, per definition, routine computations to perform a task. Even clicking on a link and then the browser requesting and displaying the page associated with it is an algorithm!

And about (generative) AI: -They cannot be made energy efficient because generation (giving you a text or image) is incredibly energy consuming -You cannot build an AI without bias or discrimination, because all your training material has to be unbiased and without discrimination - and social progress means that we will continue to recognize previously unknown harms in society. AI can only be as unbiased as its most biased training material. And the amount of data you need for training is too high to be efficient to gather before training. -AI cannot be made to be accurate. It is definitionally impossible, because it is basically an extension of auto-correct - it can only predict the next likely word from a huge collection of data. Accuracy is never a part of the algorithm of AI. -In terms of public service, it would be better to point out above chatbots that they can only generate legibile text, all other aspects are secondary.

So, in summary, what you suggest is technologically impossible, or at least misguided.

EU investing in AI is not a win, good, or anything desirable.

AI is the worst “technology” to surface in a “post-fact” news, which helps proliferate fake news, misinformation, biased and propagandized talking points (i.e. pro-israel, anti-hong-kong-sovereignty, racism and transphobia…), kills jobs and undervalues labour in a cost of living and housing crisis.

This investment is a signal saying that the EU will not be a union for its people, but for its elite and businesses. It’s an abdication of morals by EU politicians and governments.

Do people not realise that von der Leyen is a right-wing fan of totalitarianism? What she supports cannot be good for us.

I think you’re right that they don’t need to be shipped through the US, but they most probably are and will be, and using other suppliers or logistics firms that don’t isn’t always cheaper, especially with large volume shipments. Otherwise, even if there are consoles in storage, the increase has to be targeted at a whole market to also partially stave off the tariff costs and to unify a market on its conditions.

Also, Sony were the first to raise the prices for games beyond 60€.

I the US it’s mostly due to the fascist tariffs, no? Latin America has a similar issue, tho that’s because of the tax system in for example Brazil. Considering the financial situation in Argentina, hyperinflation may make price increases necessary.

Sony, on the other hand, is known to raise prices, and may have been the pioneer of raising prices for their games and consoles. That’s why I didn’t care for them.

got any source for that on the nintendo side? Idc about sony.

Using mono ulture as a word doesn’t change the meaning here. If anything, its a pathway for the foal you ascribe.

I do give you credit about the second part - it would be better to have your own private key in chat apps, which isn’t handled by the app itself, at the very least to establish a shared key. I still think the existence of crypto is a massive boon to many, even in a “flawed” implementation with the “control” being on the side of corporations - tho if they are smart, they’d never store the keys themselves, not even hashes. Unless you’re part of the signal project, I doubt you know the exact implementation and storage of data they do.

Still, thanks for summarising your lengthy post, even if I had to bait you into it. Sometimes, brevity is key.

that’s a lot of words to say you generally accuse any programm that isn’t federated of having an agenda targeted at its userbase.

And lots of social woo-woo that doesn’t extend much further than “people don’t understand cryptography and think it’s therefore scary”.

A pretty weird post, and one which I don’t support any statement from because I think you’re wrong.

Yeah, I got that context now, which I also accounted for with the “usually” qualifier. I still think it builds an attitude that is toxic to outsiders and can potentially push someone into a right-wing position. I have witnessed first hand how someone fell down a fascist rabbit hole via online places touting language superiority.

bro just skipped the “usually” part and made a rant against things being judged politically.

I think the “everything has to be written in German” part of ich_iel is also establishing a rather nationalist online culture through linguistic homogeny and illegibility to outsiders. So, yeah, you may not want to recognize the impact your words may have, but it’s clear to many others.

Well, everything is politics. But I was more wondering about the “sprich deutsch” Part - that’s usually more of a racist thing, and therefore right wing politics. But if you don’t see public transport as political you might be right-wing overall?

Was it your plan to hit em with the left right politics punch, or…?

ending a word with “-tard” references the “r-slur” against disabled people. Regardless of if you still approve of its use (I don’t) it therefore misses the question asked.

I really liked Mutazione! Made by an indiedev in, I think, the Netherlands. It has a very unique vibe to it with great world building~

Malthus was a fascist and you’re a fascist for repeating his bullshit.

Now back on topic: I’m pretty sure the couple companies that are mostly based on fossil fuels being responsible for around 90% of greenhouse gases are the main contributors to climate change, not meat production, even if it contributes too.

fuck crypto currency, fuck cloudflare, and fuck “AI agents” (they don’t exist and cannot work)!

Haha, yeah I’m not the OP! But the way my german is phrased here and how the replier interpreted it would read as super passive aggressive (think “I didn’t ask that question but thanks”), and for that I apologize 😭 I just meant I’m not the OP😌

I know that Square you’re talking about!
