  • Assuming full technical responsibility would probably make most AI-generated code pointless, as the whole point of using AI this way is that generating code saves work. Which is not any more the case if the result is really fully reviewed.

    When you submit code that you write you take responsibility for it, irregardless of the tools you use. AI generated code should not be different in this aspect.
    You can use AI to generate code but you should review it anyway, at least at the basic level to make sure that it does not contain obvious bugs and do what it is supposed to do.

    The other thing is there is no way one can declare AI generated code safely free of copyright isses. You’d need to prove that the result code was not contained in the training data - which is not possible.

    Which itself should make people to avoid to use AI generated code for anything else than playing around.


  • When companies are not able to produce enough to satisfy demand and are actively stopping selling to certain sectors and harming them, they should lose their patents.

    Except they stop selling to certain sectors because these sectors pay less. I am pretty sure that if a laptop maker ask to buy the RAM at a 50% higher price than AI companies, the RAM producer will happily sell to them.

    RAM companies are actively harming all of us by selling their products to the AI companies and leaving us all without RAM, so we should encourage alternatives.

    And how do you plan to keep these alternatives from selling to the higher bidder, which will probably be a AI company ?











  • Well no. At some point it will become too much expensive to extract them to be able to continue to use them.

    Not considering that sooner or later someone will realize that it would be less expensive, in the long run, to devolop a serious alternative to the oil (be sun, wind, nuclear or whatever else) than be subject to the blackmail of a single state and/or person which would decide that it is a great idea to start a war just because. And this, as a byproduct, will also resolve most of the problems in the middle east region since without oil they had nothing.


  • Do you know which reforms?

    Every reform that increased the integration of EU made after Brexit, basically. Historically UK blocked a lot of reforms because the cannot profit from them. Remember that UK had a special status in the EU, from the beginning, so it was their interest to block reforms that would have forced them to give in some of their advantages. Think about a common European defense, UK always stopped it because they were told so by the US.

    Why do you like it, apart from overcoming blocks?

    First of all, because it is the only logical conclusion if we want to keep Europe somewhat relevant in the world.
    After that, though I’m speaking as an Italian here, maybe politicians will be forced to do more than just try to act like they own their little backyard and probably we will gain something.




  • But i’m not against the ban myself. We use animals mostly for two reasons: their body as an object (meat, leather, milk, etc), and their energy as a tool. In developed nations we replaced their physical effort with machines, what remains in is basically entertainment.

    True, but in this case it was/is a tipical tourist attraction. I don’t see why we could not still offer it without mistreating the horses. Btw, then also the other places that offer rides with horses should be banned.

    Everyone with a pet will say their cat/dog is not merely entertainment, I know I’m being a bit crude here but animals aren’t really needed anymore in that sense. Dogs form a bigger exception than horses nowadays.

    You are not entirely right. For people who live in the city it is true, for people who live in the countryside animals, mostly dogs but not only them, are still working animals for a lot of things.

    Personally i think those horses could feel fine entertaining tourist by riding them around in carriages - if they’d treat the animal well.

    That’s the whole point. They could have enforced the rules (or make better ones if necessary) instead of banning something (which will probably end with the horses killed and sold as food).

    But nowadays my impression is that all this “love” for the animals is used to hide the fact we do nothing for the people.
