Reply to comment by MornwindShoma in Italian regulators order ChatGPT ban over alleged violation of data privacy laws by Captain_Calamari_

Lmfao. Nice job, let’s read the whole thing shall we?

> Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

> the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

> processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

> processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject; processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

> processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

> Where point (a) of Article 6(1) applies, in relation to the offer of information society services directly to a child, the processing of the personal data of a child shall be lawful where the child is at least 16 years old.

> 2Where the child is below the age of 16 years, such processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child.

> 3Member States may provide by law for a lower age for those purposes provided that such lower age is not below 13 years.

Taken together, the company is only requires to get consent if 1) it processes the information, and 2) it is directly done for services direct to children.

So no mandatory consent or age verification across the board. You wanna try again bud?

Reply to 'Car Guy’ Bill Gates just road in an autonomous vehicle across London and says the sector is reaching a 'tipping point' in the next decade by Last-Caterpillar-112

A lot of people enjoy driving and it’s a huge source of independence.

London’s a different story of course as it’s a nightmare at least centrally. but although it may disrupt taxi services & such I’m less expecting it to take over completely. It’s quite compelling that it navigated fine though.

The idea of a car just driving itself, making those decisions (aka the start of I Robot) just doesn’t seem like we are anywhere that point to do safely.

As he said it’ll take decades at least, but it would also require a huge shift in mentality and trust in the AI that the vehicle is safe

Reply to comment by [deleted] in ChatGPT banned in Italy over privacy concerns by EssoEssex

>Synthetic meat is terrible for you lol, poisoning your population isn’t anti-progress

So is Coca Cola. And alcohol. And cigarettes. Why haven't they banned those too?

Italy has a conservative right-wing government - when was the last time you saw a progressive right-wing government?

Reply to GM plans to phase out Apple CarPlay in EVs, with Google's help by ouatedephoque

Between my states heavy handed approach on forcing electrics and manufacturers turning buying a car into a subscription service, I'm glad I have two relatively new cars and am gonna be able to sit on what I have for a minimum of 7 years.

Covid happened and now you can't own shit without being nickeled and dimed into debt.

Reply to CEOs are quietly backtracking on remote work—and more companies could follow by ethereal3xp

It seems the truth is gradually being revealed. Initially, CEOs misled us by claiming that their intention was to foster team spirit. Then, they stated it was about preserving their work culture. They further deceived us by asserting that productivity was declining when it wasn't. Had they been honest from the outset, we might have been more accepting of their requests to return to the office. The real issue is their struggle with investors due to depreciating real estate assets as buildings remain underutilized. Their lack of transparency and honesty has fueled resistance to returning to the office. Embracing remote work is the modern approach to conducting business, and it's high time they accept this reality.
