@EINS_Institute@infosec.exchange @pluralistic@mamot.fr 50/50 on it. Google is almost certainly biassed; even if they believe their own offerings are superior to that of competitors (and, most companies at least claim that) it makes sense to check multiple comparison sites to confirm if there is a consensus or if each has its own, different bias. Forcing Google to be biassed in favor of selected EU competitors seems a bit much for a remedy. If the EU wants a EU approved comparison site, there is nothing stopping them creating their own.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange - still wondering what all these companies are gonna do when the AI costs suddenly go up 20x and the staff they fired and who left with all that institutional knowledge have no interest in being rehired...

@EINS_Institute@infosec.exchange @pluralistic@mamot.fr - yup. but for things like MS Office, the EU is actively supporting the creation of alternatives and banning the use of the incumbents for their own (official) use. Convincing actual citizens to use the alternative rather than the "comfortable" de facto option is a bigger problem than building the alternative in the first place. As you say, incumbents like MS can leverage their huge market dominance, and stopping them is difficult.

@soatok - too many companies have gone all-in on AI though; their sponsors now can't back down and keep their board positions :(

@jukkan @davidgerard Do Microsoft have to pay royalties for the Clawpilot IP? :D

@donni@mastodon.social Lol - Men can't even agree how many different sets of mulitheaded screwdriver are "enough"

@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io well, if the explosive collars haven't triggered, you know it isn't THAT SCP.

@SecureOwl@infosec.exchange - That's probably a good thing though. There's literally no benefit to a moon resort, but a privacy policy that stops your health insurance company having access to your eating habits is probably desirable.

@marcel@waldvogel.family - can't help but think the third right hand box should be "blockchain in the cloud or something that raises share price"

@thatfrisiangirlish@blahaj.zone - I must admit I love how much the app on mine looks like the casio I wasn't allowed to use in exams as a kid LD

@mattblaze@federate.social - well yeah, they are just recycled "cloud changes everything" guys, who were.... I dunno, was it Java before that? I can't honestly bring myself to care :D

@baka@mastodon.social @soatok@furry.engineer I would assume it is on hold until after the AI bubble pops?

@pango@tooter.social @catsalad@infosec.exchange I assume the expectation is that the codebase will be completely regenerated, from scratch, each time (with a slightly improved prompt) Nobody could feasibly maintain the slop, not even the AI that created it.
