At a point on time, there should be more structured and unbiased content in social media before elections in democratic countries to help people make their decisions.

This should be regulated to avoid interference from anyone.

The biggest problem now is that the billionaires behind social media nowadays will push for a liberal / right wing agenda in the west for their own interests.

Excited to see this! Nice that they are saying this is just a first step.

Give them more compute!

Pricing decisions are important; you can't just remove half the usage for PRO200 just because you don't have the hardware resources to manage all of the workload.

I've been paying for the PRO200 plan since day one, and I've never used it that much because Claude Code was and still is better at coding. I didn't even complain when they started nerfing their models.

I love OpenAI, but they should do better on such important decisions, knowing that all other companies are waiting for such missteps.

You remind me of a new research article on how dumb the new social media make us

Totally aligned ! As a European, I was never into this US bashing. I looked up to the Americans in the same way the french did back in the 19th century when they gifted them statue of liberty

Living in France, trying to do my part here. I love the US as well and their spirit of freedom and innovation should be an example to follow

Yes definitely, this is why I see the shift with AI as an opportunity to push forward new companies. EU needs to put the focus on hardware where it did have a competitive advantage few years ago (still have on B2B hardware)

Interesting! I would split regulation in two different types though. The fist one is merely the output of bureaucracy and good intentions and a second that is targeting US tech companies as EU can't compete.

Yes indeed ! What is important is that the same people/generation who witnessed the atrocities of war and resented each other decided to create a union

I'm fed up with the regular euro bashing. People are underestimating what EU countries can do. The whole history was similar. France, for example, was neither the first to build high-end luxury products nor was it the first to embrace the Industrial Revolution. It managed to catch up in any case.

EU countries went from killing each other in two of the most deadly wars to having a union in 30 years.

I wish that the EU did the same as China did years ago, and that is to block any non-EU tech company from entering the market. We could have had the Google/Meta equivalent years ago.

Let's see how much they benchmaxxed their model!

Not sure if you see it coming: oh, but open-source models don't have a kill switch, so we should completely regulate them, stop their development, and forbid them. Everything should go through Anthropic for the sake of humanity because they have a red-button kill switch.

This doom hype is becoming ridiculous.

Indeed! I wasn't even able to change the bird easily. I like the initiative, though. I remember the whole bird migration from Africa to Europe and how it shapes the skies in autumn and spring.

AI doesn't need to want to take over. Give it autonomy; reading that it will is probably enough.
