No, but *this* time it'll be different. A partnership with big tech will fix me.

Attribution doesn't matter when all you're doing is reformatting complex, lengthy, expensive work and republishing it as your own with zero added value .

Je propose à toute la gauche de s'unir derrière moi. Mon plan: d'abord on gagne, et puis on voit au barbecue du 14-Juillet pour élaborer un projet.

Do you have a pic of the cover? I couldn't find it for today.

Agreed, but this kind of task has made me wonder if they couldn't be displaced by much simpler models for usage contexts, often as HCI assistants (e.g. generate a query in the right syntax).

And that's just the business side. European citizens who have their data processed by controllers headquartered in Ireland - which is most of the data of almost all Europeans since that's where Google and friends are - have de facto no data privacy rights.

The @DPCIreland keeps promising change but it's been nothing but delaying tactics. Irish tech policy begins and ends with foreign investment - to the detriment of all Europeans.

I'd be interested in reading about that, any specific paper you would recommend?
