Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI: EU Member States plan “digital expropriation” of Europeans in the interest of AI companiesEnglish
16·2 days agoThere seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions.
It’s not surprising… The EU are, as it stands, against any form of online privacy.
The Irish government are pro-US Big Tech.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s fuelling the rise of the far right?English
12·2 days agoThere was an Australian man on ITV or BBC’s morning show about a year or so ago. He was a very good speaker, but I’ve no idea who he was. He reckoned (I’m going by memory) it started when the left pushed for more left leaning politics - beginning after the US started a domino effect in the middle East, and caused a surge of immigration.
That coupled with people having their own platforms with the likes of facebook, instagram, twitter etc.
Initially many countries had sat in the middle and were complacent, then there was that surge, with other things that angered the far right and voices started appearing in printed media and online.
I’ve probably made a balls of what exactly he claimed was the start of it, but he reckoned it was a sleeping giant anyway.
He had been researching it since the 80’s iirc.
I watched it as I was getting ready for work and having breakfast. I wouldn’t normally watch TV, so wasn’t paying great attention to it, it was only a few days later, maybe a week that I was retrospectively going over what he was saying and thought he made good points. if anyone knows the guy I’m talking about, would be great if you could put me out of my misery and name him. I’ve searched a few times without success. I don’t even know if I could say what he looked like, older with thinning grey hair I think…


That may be true for basic, simple questions, but it is not true for medium or hard questions.
They will give an answer, yes, but often it’s not answering what you asked, or giving the wrong answer.
