In het kort: onder leiding van Denemarken pleiten veel EU-lidstaten er (weer) voor om WhatsApp/Signal/etc te dwingen al onze foto’s en links te inspecteren met behulp van AI. Als de AI ook maar enige “twijfel” heeft of iets kinderpornografie zou kunnen zijn, worden je foto, locatie, telefoonnummer en andere gegevens doorgestuurd naar Europol en de lokale politie. Wat er daarna gebeurt staat niet uitgelegd, maar je vakantie op Cyprus zou zomaar kunnen eindigen met een gesprek op het lokale politiebureau om je foto’s uit te leggen.

r/ChatGPTPro: What is the most profitable thing you have done with ChatGPT?

This Reddit thread - with 279 replies - offers a neat targeted insight into the kinds of things people are using ChatGPT for.

Lots of variety here but two themes that stood out for me were ChatGPT for written negotiation - insurance claims, breaking rental leases - and ChatGPT for career and business advice.

Google Gemini URL Context New feature in the Gemini API: you can now enable a url_context tool which the models can use to request the contents of URLs as part of replying to a prompt. I released llm-gemini 0.25 with a new -o url_context 1 option adding support for this feat...

I was reading the latest issue of the journal Science, and a paper mentioned the compound Cr2Gr2Te6. For a moment, I thought my knowledge of the periodic table was slipping, since I couldn't remember the element Gr. It turns out that Gr was supposed to be Ge, germanium, but ...

La inițiativa Danemarcei, multe state membre ale UE cer ca WhatsApp/Signal/etc. să fie forțate să inspecteze toate pozele și linkurile noastre folosind inteligența artificială (IA). Daca IA are orice “îndoială” că acestea ar putea fi pornografie infantilă, atunci poza ta, locația ta, numărul tău de telefon și alte detalii vor fi raportate către Europol și către poliția locală. Ce se întâmplă mai departe nu e specificat, dar vacanța ta în Cipru s-ar putea termina cu tine la secția locală de poliție, nevoit să îți explici pozele.

Some fun on a Sunday

In breve, guidati dalla Danimarca, molti stati membri dell’UE sostengono la necessità di obbligare WhatsApp/Signal/ecc. a ispezionare tutte le nostre foto e i nostri link, utilizzando l’intelligenza artificiale (IA). Se l’IA ha qualche “dubbio” che si tratti di pedopornografia, la tua foto, posizione, numero di telefono e altri dettagli vengono segnalati a Europol e a una forza di polizia locale. Non è specificato cosa accadrà in seguito, ma durante la tua vacanza a Cipro potresti dover spiegare le tue foto alla stazione di polizia locale.

En resumen: bajo el liderazgo de Dinamarca, muchos países de la Unión Europea quieren obligar a las compañías de mensajería como WhatsApp o Signal a inspeccionar todas nuestras fotos y enlaces con ayuda de inteligencia artificial (IA). Si la IA tiene la mínima duda de que pueda tratarse de material relacionado con abuso infantil, se enviarán a Europol y a la policía local tu foto, la ubicación, tu número de teléfono y otros datos personales.

En bref, sous l’impulsion du Danemark, de nombreux États membres de l’UE demandent que les messageries comme WhatsApp/Signal/etc. soient contraintes d’inspecter toutes nos photos et tous nos liens en utilisant de l’IA. Si l’IA a le moindre “doute” quant à la possibilité qu’il s’agisse de pédopornographie, votre photo, votre localisation, votre numéro de téléphone ainsi que d’autres détails sont signalés à Europol et aux forces de police locales. La suite n’est pas précisée, mais vos vacances à Chypre pourraient se vite se terminer par l’obligation d’expliquer vos photos au poste de police local.

ChatGPT and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I've been reverse-engineering the Intel 386 processor (from 1985), and I've come across some interesting circuits for the chip's input/output (I/O) pins. Since these pins communicate with the outside world, they face special dangers: static electricity and latchup can destro...

In short, led by Denmark, many EU member states are arguing for forcing WhatsApp/Signal/etc to inspect all our photos and links, using AI. If the AI is in any “doubt” if this might be child pornography, your photo, location, phone number & other details get reported to Europol and a local police force. What happens next is not specified, but your holiday in Cyprus might end up with you having to explain your photos over at the local police station.

Kurz zusammengefasst: Unter der Führung Dänemarks fordern viele EU-Mitgliedsstaaten, WhatsApp, Signal und co dazu zu zwingen, dass alle darüber versendeten Fotos und Links mit KI durchsucht werden. Wenn die KI auch nur den geringsten Verdacht hat, dass es sich um Kinderpornografie handeln könnte, werden dein Bild, dein Standort, deine Telefonnummer und weitere Details automatisch an Europol und eine örtliche Polizeibehörde gemeldet. Jetzt gegen Chat Control aktiv werden! Auch wenn nicht festgelegt ist was danach passiert, kann dein Urlaub auf Zypern schnell damit enden, dass du deine privaten Fotos einem unbekannten Polizisten erklären musst.
