Perhaps you should learn at least what the term "free speech" means.
Yes: in the US insults are protected under free speech laws, just like in Germany.
That means: the government or any agency of the government, is not coming for you. Because, by law: they cant.

However, just like anywhere else on the planet: the person insulted, can sue you.
And if his case, that he got insulted, is true, and has a point and he wins: you pay compensation.

Stupid idiot.

Taking Scale.ai as an example I couldn't find, from a shallow browse, a real life case study for where their tech was applied?


They are teaching AI systems for customers.

Surely Scale.ai would be shouting about their amazing successes on their front page? As would the organisations that benefitted.
I had assumed that they write on their frontpage that they host "new born" LLMs and "teach" them, for customers.
And no: they do not disclose their customers. Why would they?

I guess you are invested in AI then.
No idea what that is supposed to mean. I have no shares in any AI company - it is 2026 - we are ten years to late to invest.

Comment GOG is for poaching more than launching (Score 1) 46

And like I said I don't see anyone talking about GOG.

How much of that is related to GOG's reputation for being selective about what games and genres they accept? I get the impression that GOG is a bit more "curated" than some other PC game stores. The curators don't really want visual novels (a style of menu-driven adventure game). And apart from new releases by CD Projekt (which owned GOG before the end of 2025), I suspect that GOG seeks to poach "catalog" games that have already been successful on the competing store Steam as opposed to having a game at day one.

If data that you own is not personal property, then what is it?

This is like saying the words on a page are not personal property, but the paper is. No court would agree to that.

Personal property is anything you own or have possesion of, including intangibles such as stock or copyrights, that is not attached to land or fixed to real estate. Data on a phone falls within that definition. The phone is a physical item you own. It's your personal property. The data within the phone is also personal property, though intangible.

It is nitpicking.
As it depends on the national parliament if it has the right to do that.
The German parliament does not have that right, oops.
However a "faction" in the parliament does have that right.

No idea bout other European parliaments.

The Commission has no obligation to be forthcoming.
Depends how nitpicking you want to be.

This is really a severe limit on the power of the European Parliament.
Depends how nitpicking you want to be. The parliament can retire every commissioner or the whole commission, if they vote so.
Basically out of a blue sky.

Sorry, why argue about something that is not important to you - and you have no clue about?

No parliament can censure anyone.

I know that about 80% of national legislation in the EU nowadays comes "from Europe" in the form of directives,
Only if the directive is leading to a law, established by the European Parliament.

And, does not matter what, the governments involved behind the directive(s) are voted into power by their respectively citizens.
