Musk is now worth more than bottom half of the most wealthy people on the planet combined.

Won't everyone please think of #6-#10 richest people on the planet and the fact Bernie can now finally say what he really thinks about trillionnaires?

Plug is standardized, but everything else is not.

The "get the specific app if you want to charge" is a very real problem here. As is "shit is broken". From app back end to chargers. All of this is very real.

You're not following. Everyone in EU is on CCS2. It's mandated by regulation from 2014.

Only legacy cars are on other connectors.

However globally, everyone is on their own thing.

You don't need a converter to use Tesla Superchargers. In EU, Tesla uses CCS2 (as does pretty much everyone else, because EU made a regulation forcing that connector back in 2014).

It's ok to hate microsoft. But I still remember the time when just forgetting to unplug ethernet cable from your PC while installing XP led to it starting to spew ads at you within 30 seconds of hitting desktop after installation being finished.

Today, you could install a barebones basic bitch win 10 home/pro 1607, and hit it with common script kiddie kit exploits and it will be just fine out of the box.

Part of that is MS working together with router manufacturers, and part of it is MS genuinely hardening Windows as an OS.

Bitch about MS all you want, they took security problems very seriously after XP and fixed almost all of it. The main reason why WannaCry was a massive scandal isn't because it hit quite a few critical machines. It's because in era after win7 came out, we forgot that machines can just get owned en masse. Because microsoft fixed almost everything that caused that by that time, and it was actually safe to just hook up a win7 PC directly to the internet with just build in settings, and it would not get owned within a minute on a good day.

Penetration and vulnerability testing has accelerated massively, to the tunes of hundreds if not thousands of times with modern AI.

The fact that they managed to keep up with this and publish massive amount of patches is a sign of excellence.

And they want this testing to continue, so these are found before they're exploited to any significant degree.

It's not really hard ball. Everyone's favorite fascist grandma Thierry Breton, the author of relevant AI regulation made history in EU.

He was the first Frenchman that French president let German head of Commission remove by her request. Because after Breton started boasting about regulating AI before it even came to EU, a lot of national elites realized how badly they fucked up putting him in a position to do that.

There have been many efforts to reduce AI regulation in EU since, with at least one major initiative having been successful in reducing EU regulation. But it's still excessively onerous, and so EU is basically irrelevant in world of AI. Best we have is specific language focused LLMs like Mistral that are vastly inferior to US and PRC models.

In large part because of limits on training data and applications included in the EU level AI regulation.

So this is Kotaku, the shit tier 2010 "new media" corporate blog with gaming focus that fired all of the writers after they ran it into the ground and replaced them with AI writers.

Who are now farming clicks with AI hate.

This is beautiful.

I literally gave you everything you need to ask your friendly LLM for details of the case.

I didn't give details because I don't want to get another round of "this can't be real, you're making this up". Because that is the reaction every normal person has to this case (and many others like it).

But this is a norm in EU.

Thank you, I try.

Indeed, just like lobotomies are performed on other people, not on the lobotomist.

For rather obvious reasons.

Fiction brain is a disease. Stop. Get some help.

They have had that. The problem is that it's just like humans trying to improve themselves by directly reprogramming the brain.

So you get everything from lobotomies to "biohacking". None of it works well, because we don't understand ourselves any more than LLMs understand themselves. You get tiny incremental improvements, or human that can't even take a shit without assistance for the rest of his/her natural life and everything in between. Same for LLMs trying to improve themselves. Incremental improvements or utterly insane LLM and everything in between.

And so, there's a reason why we don't do lobotomies or try too hard to let LLMs improve themselves right now. Though LLMs are way closer to being able to hack themselves to be better than humans are due to rate possible iterations in any given time frame.

I said "privacy", not just GDPR.

Also fun part about "easy to navigate". There's this curious case of "ease of navigation" of a large Finnish retailer, who got fined for most of their yearly profit recently.

Why?

Research it. It's hilarious. Retailer's name is "verkkokauppa.com". They were compliant with it for entire period. Until bureaucrat decided they needed to be punished, and suddenly they weren't. Decision made by court in the end clearly caused harm to consumers.

You won't believe me what happened to them if I tell you. You'll project your "disconnected and without insight" on me again, because surely, it couldn't be that fucking retarded.

It is though. And that's just one out of many such cases.

USB is now EU tech. As declared by BoogieChile.
