This article isn't about coverage, it's about what goes in the duct if there is a connection. If Comcast can run a cable to your house, then they can put four strands and allow other ISPs access to them. That said, how many of the

The regulations here aren't about forcing companies to lay fiber to every home, it's enforcing a standard that when a company does lay fiber it lays four strands that any ISP can use.

Deepmind is based there. Anthropic's biggest research base outside the US is there. OpenAI has just announced a big new office there.

Almost like Europe isn't one entity with a single set of regulations. Germany is not Estonia

It also removes the potential for growth or any other upside. I doubt there'd be many AI researchers willing to work on civil service salaries.

Except the frontier models are the only reason to use them. Why would they use GPT-export when they can use the latest GLM or Kimi?

The FDA has incredibly detailed guidelines that need to be followed, and a clear process to be followed. This is none of that.

They're not regulating though – they're arbitrarily blocking releases based on no clear criteria. The EU may be legalistic and rules-based, but I'd take that over capricious and arbitrary.

Probably yes. Maybe that's one of the reasons they're not suing them.

No, because the judge ruled that the training was fair use and the model itself wasn't infringing.

Copyright infringement isn't usually a crime.

by ascorbic 3mo ago
Probably, yes. It's likely just a breach in their terms of service. You'll note that they're not suing them – they're trying to get the government to do their work for them.

Bulk second-hand books are a lot cheaper than ebooks. Also not all books are available as ebooks, and ebooks have terms of service that presumably prevent them being used for training.

Using them was allowed as fair use – it was the downloading of the pirated copies that was infringement. That's why Anthropic switched to scanning paper books.

You don't need to use a lawyer to draw up the docs unless you have special requirements: you can use the proforma memorandum (it's auto-filled if you apply online) and adopt the model articles of association. - https://

The easy way is to create an account on Bluesky. That's as simple as creating an account on any other social network. The important bit though is that you can then, if you want, migrate to a different host and take your identity with y

It's also worth noting that if you're using `did:plc` for your identity (the default for Bluesky and most places) then you can rotate your signing key if you lose it. It's only `did:web` that makes it impossible to recover or

Sure, somebody else holds your identity, but it's pretty easy to control it yourself. By its nature if you're using somebody to host your stuff, you're trusting them with it. I made Cirrus so you can self-host your PDS for fr

Spark, pckt (and leaflet, tangled) etc aren't using atproto as a compatibility layer: they're fully-fledged apps built on the network.

The decision as to whether mass screening is justified or not is complex, and varies a lot by test/condition/population etc. Luckily there are lots of smart people whose job it is to do these caclulations. In your list, 1-4 are co
