I do not know how regulations come into play. But I’m OK with regulating technology according to its potential (real, not imagined) risk.
What I’m not OK with is with primitivism.

What kind of straw-man fallacy is that?
Please be rational.
Nuclear power keeps lots of people lights on. Same a AI technology is already making lots of people live better. For instance, in my country the IRS equivalent is already using it to successfully detect fiscal fraud.
Does that apply to any other type of technology, or are they just witch hunting?
I’m from Spain.
But I know that in Latin America they also used to change the title of some media sometimes. Funny enough they used different titles than in Spain.
For instance, the movie “White Chicks” in Spain is “Dos rubias de pelo en pecho” and in Latin America is “¿Y donde están las rubias?”.
It’s also just two words. Spanish worlds tend to be longer than english ones.
“Muertos” is a direct translation of “dead”.
“Evil” would be “maligno”, but “terroríficamente” was used "which would be like “terrifying”.
Anyway spanish translations used to change a lot the titles of the movies back in the day, most famously “die hard” is “la jungla de cristal” (directly translated as: the glass jungle) here.
I’ve heard that they did this because direct translations or english titles didn’t work as well here, and a change in the title made more people want to watch the movie.
Nowadays this happens way less, most titles are direct translations or use their english title directly.
It works for me. But only for some movies.
For instance “terroríficamente muertos” is the spanish name for “evil dead”. And I can search both titles and jellyfin finds the movie.
I have jellyfin and metadata download set to spanish. It doesn’t seem to work with all movies though. Maybe some movies do include a secondary title in the metadata and that’s what’s being used?
I do self host several AI applications for myself on a low end device and I think for most lowend even mid devices local AI is unfeasible. Nowadays is too much resource heavy and times are too long without high end devices.
For my computer generating a description of a picture (one of the firefox new features) could easily take up to 5-10 minutes with the cpu at 100%. That’s just not viable for doing while browsing.
Anyway I would love for firefox to open source the server side of this. So in case someone have s computer powerful enough they could do it locally if they want to.
Libraries where good for before the XXI century. Nowadays the amount of content they had is pretty small. Most libraries don’t really has anything but the more famous books.
We live in a system that actively prevents humans to get more knowledge, go figure.
No everything has to be for profit in this life.
I’ve no contract with them, I’ve not made any purchases. They post something online for anyone to see.
They are completely free of locking their content behind a paywall, there are plenty of platforms for that.
But I want to make my first statement clear: no every single thing any human being does has to be done just for the sole purpose of getting an economical profit. That would be the death of humanity.
I still remember 90s internet when we had tons of websites with lots of content that was just there because the creators were fans of such content, no further intentions. Barely any ads or monetization whatsoever. The ‘shark’ mentality is killing internet.
I’m glad they came out as what they already were.
It was clear that they did not feel as a non-profit foundation for many years now.
I’ve been way more than a decade (closer to two decades) uninterruptedly using Firefox. I’ve never used chrome as a my main browser, ever.
But still, I’ll be naive if I didn’t recognize that this kind of shit will affect me even if it’s just indirectly.
Next year they’ll surely will be forcing many webs only working in “manifest V3 compliant browsers”. I’m sure of that.
If you are not talking about the past, present and future of Hannah Montana Linux I’m not even talking to you.
“Sorry, we’ll have to do it in a few months again to see if you still can mobilize this much”.
Google ghg emissions in 2023 are 14.3 million metric tons. Which are a ridiculous percentage of global emissions.
Commercial aviation emissions are 935.000 million metric tons by year.
So IDK about plastic straws or google. But really if people stopped flying around so much that would actually make a dent on global emissions.
Don’t get me wrong, google is a piece of shit. But they are not the ones causing climate change, neither is AI technology. Planes, cars, meat industry, offshore production… Those are some of the truly big culprits.
