Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

Possibly one of the most important invention of the 20th century

would be cool if common folk could also be forgiven for "accidentally" deleting evidence

Hello. I bought a new computer recently, and the computer I'm replacing is still good, but it only works as a tablet now. I'm considering putting Linux on it, but would it be worth it or should I get rid of my old computer? Thanks!

Huffman has said, "We are not in the business of giving that [Reddit's content] away for free." That stance makes sense. But it also ignores the reality that all of Reddit's content has been given to it for free by its millions of users. Further, it leaves aside the fact that the content has been orchestrated by its thousands of volunteer moderators.

Hi! I just got a new computer recently, and I'm concerned about browser security and security in general. Any recommendations for a good secure browser? Preferably open source.

OpenAI's lobbying efforts in the European Union are centered around modifying proposed AI regulations that could impact its operations. The tech firm is notably pushing for a weakening of regulations which currently classify certain AI systems, such as OpenAI's GPT-3, as "high risk."

Altman's Stance on AI Regulation:

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been very vocal about the need for AI regulation. However, he is advocating for a specific kind of regulation - those favoring OpenAI and its operations.

OpenAI's White Paper:

OpenAI's lobbying efforts in the EU are revealed in a document titled "OpenAI's White Paper on the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act." The document focuses on attempting to change certain classifications in the proposed AI Act that classify certain AI systems as "high risk."

"High Risk" AI Systems:

The European Commission's "high risk" classification includes systems that could potentially harm health, safety, fundamental rights, or the environment. The Act would require legal human oversight and transparency for such systems. OpenAI, however, argues that its systems such as GPT-3 are not "high risk," but could be used in high-risk use cases. It advocates that regulation should target companies using AI models, not those providing them.

Alignment with Other Tech Giants:

OpenAI's position mirrors that of other tech giants like Microsoft and Google. These companies also lobbied for a weakening of the EU's AI Act regulations.

Outcome of Lobbying Efforts:

The lobbying efforts were successful, as the sections that OpenAI opposed were removed from the final version of the AI Act. This success may explain why Altman reversed a previous threat to pull OpenAI out of the EU over the AI Act.
