BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google, antitrust enforcement and the future of European digital sovereignty.English1·3 days agoSmall copies of existing technologies aren’t novelty nor innovation.
Well, this just shows your ignorance on the subject. The biggest irony is that you probably don’t even know when you use some EU innovation since they aggressively promote open research, so it’s not hiding behind a patent to be abused to by a single greedy corporation…
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•International students may be among the biggest early beneficiaries of ChatGPT.English3·4 days agoUntil someone accuses you of using it “not the allowed way” and without any proof suspends your education. She lost her scholarship over an AI allegation — and it impacted her mental health
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google, antitrust enforcement and the future of European digital sovereignty.English3·4 days agoEU has been for a long time investing in innovation and supporting open source development. Lemmy for one is partially funded by EU funds…
The issue is an economic centrism which dominates the EU governance so while there are plenty EU supported and developed alternatives they are not used. But as much as hate LLMs it seems that was the push required for EU to reconsider their approach. Combine that with the friends turning into foes and the future tech sector in the EU looks bright.

BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Your next phone could have a 10km Bluetooth connectionEnglish4·7 days agoThe Bluetooth standard uses maximum power as a requirement for classification not range. So if they manage to not exceed the power limit of class 1 it would be valid.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•How a false X post about pausing tariffs led to multi-trillion-dollar market swings.English5·10 days agoSo the whole stock market is a scam just like crypto? Fake money goes up and fake money goes down.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Starlink competition is ramping up in UkraineEnglish3·12 days agoIt’s possible. Now that EU-Mercosur trade deal is signed it makes a lot more sense from EU business perspective.

One possible explanation is that the dataset includes aggregated or historical data, such as bot accounts that were created and later banned, inactive or deleted accounts that still lingered in historical records, or old data that was merged with newer data, increasing the total number of records.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Data Breaches@lemmy.zip•Twitter (X) Hit by 2.8 Billion Profile Data Leak in Alleged Insider JobEnglish5·17 days agoIt’s profiles, not people, so it does make sense knowing at least half is bots.

Less user friendly options would be SimpleX, Session.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Technology@lemmy.zip•This watchdog is tracking how AI firms are quietly backing off their safety pledgesEnglish7·22 days agoThe corrupt idiots who kept saying that pledges are good enough, no need to regulate anyone - eat shit.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Data Breaches@lemmy.zip•StreamElements discloses third-party data breach after hacker leaks dataEnglish2·22 days agoWhat a surprise. They only diclosed it after the data was leaked so there was no possiblity for people to take precautions to secure the data…
Sue them into the bankruptcy as that seems to be the only remedy available these days.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•You know that generative AI browser assistant extension is probably beaming everything to the cloud, right?English91·23 days agoForget “if the product is free”. You are a product even if you pay subscriptions these days. They still track all your activity and then sell it or use it to train AI models that they will make you pay for again.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•AI users can match two-person team performance, study suggests.English3·26 days agoWhile the study looks fine from quality standpoint, I feel like the whole idea was stacked in the “AI” favor. They chose the task of generating ideas. Which is one of a few things that LLMs are good at as the name implies. They can spit out unlimited amount of ideas for a person to choose from, while without it people use something like a word cloud which is a lot more time-consuming on the front end, but leads to better ideas from the start.
The whole “social connectivity” aspect is too subjective to offer any conclusions.
Treat LLMs as a tool, like you do internet, and it can be useful, but it will never be more.

BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Gotta Track'em All: Data Privacy and Saudi Arabia’s Pokémon Go Acquisition.English6·1 month agoNot a bad deal. It’s a few $ per person to gain full access over their location data.

with less precision. But like we all were shown recently, scraping can’t be stopped. Even when it’s actively legally protected by corporations that have the resources to enforce. So any “good actors are expected to abide” proposals are completely useless and worse they give false impression that it achieves anything.
I really hope it will not be based in the US where law is dead and where IRS at the command of executive can remove non-profit status. That would defeat all the stated goals in the press release.
