What was the jurisdiction ? France is among the most difficult countries for entrepreneurs in the EU (maybe the Germany too, with their written paperwork and rigidity).

In top of high taxes, there is a very adversarial administration and a philosophy of “I’ve told you, you should never have started this project”.

In the baltics it is easy for example, but your experience can vary a lot depending on the country as the EU business environment is not uniform.

I just made it softer (though I never mentioned race but economic migration), still can be too sensitive so let it be, just my opinion (I am in Eastern Europe and there the views are rather harsh, compared to Germany or France or Sweden)

I usually like to accuse people of the wildest privacy conspiracies, but here in the case of Orion, one day the founder approached me together to work with him, and I tried to see how far is he willing to do in practice (“ok maybe we could do X and Y or Z”).

He stopped me and explained to me that is his business model, and… it was to sell apps / subscriptions. He has no interest into anything else and strongly explained that the user pays and that’s it.

Eventually I didn’t work with him but I have a very positive opinion of him, so at least, based on my experience as a potential employee strongly trusts

Technically it's easy to come around restrictions (for example, where I live, RT.com is fully censored "to protect me").

But from a lawmaker perspective, the topic is not technical.

The question, at the end, is about the enforcement of the punishments that go with circumvention; and in some places there is punishment even when you are "just" trying to circumvent these restrictions.

It's easy to break-in into someone's place. What prevents you from doing it, is the punishment (and potentially ethics), not the physical barrier.

Not really if you are a Chromium fork. Difficult from ground-up but from Chromium it’s rather easy. Way easier than creating an LLM. Even easier when you can hire the Chromium developers.

Three countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are disconnecting from Russia literally in 2 weeks for that specific reason, so it's an horrible idea to interconnect everything in the current world.

This is what happens with "autonomous" delivery robots that are operating on London campuses.

They are actually controlled by "robot operators" in Estonia, though officially it's "AI".

That being said, every day it's getting a little bit better.

It exists in Estonia ("thanks" to Googley Eric Schmidt!), it's a company that had codename White Stork.

Assign one safety driver per vehicle, the remote safety driver is responsible (like a driving instructor and its driving student, except the AI is the student).

This way, the internal safety drivers will do everything they can to have the company act responsibly, and refuse the work if the system is not reasonably safe.

It can also solve other problems:

In Estonia we have delivery "robots". On the paper it is "AI", but in reality they are actually remotely controlled by students aka "Robot operators".

The law makes the other drivers guilty if you hit one of these "AI-robots", which really sucks, because the law was changed due to intense lobbying.

I'd rather have people designated as drivers to be responsible.

Cute, as in the sibling language, Estonian it means “big” or “tall”

No, I wasn't referring to Kagi (which is done by a hard-working guy btw), just in general to the trend that the internet is now completely different if seen from a perspective of 2006.

Storage was expensive, and data wasn't seen as a goldmine as now, so most long-term logs went to /dev/null.

That the normality now is to ask users to create an account, have data-scientists (whose goal is precisely to find needles in haystacks), etc.
