Europe’s AI crackdown looks doomed to be felled by Silicon Valley lobbying power | John Naughton | The Guardian
Can it be that no high officials in these three countries have been following the behaviour of US tech companies since the dawn of the web? Hoping for ethical behaviour from such outfits is like praying for the conversion of China to Catholicism. More proximately, have they not noticed what happened only the other day when OpenAI’s board, ostensibly charged with ensuring that the company’s foundation models were good for humanity, was suddenly replaced by people with less elevated objectives, namely the maximisation of shareholder value.
Agreeing and disagreeing with the Englishman again my readers. The crackdown is doomed, the analogy about China and Catholicism is great. That will never happen. But disagree–objectives in “less elevated objectives” is questionable regardless of optimization aims. And yes the board should have been replaced for the very salvation of the company., aims or not.
My readers, wherever you are in the world, I will never want to hide a book like CTTD in print versions behind some backdoor at a Bluesie jazz comedy fest. Do not make me something other than human and humane with my books. Give your support. CTTD has been a lesson in law. Justice must be achieved. Give your support and hold on to the relativity.
