> kinda scary to think about how many scientific papers are probably written using AI these days

Journals now routinely ask you to declare any use of AI in writing. Better authors are up front about its use, so peer review can take this into account.

> America is crazy, why are you letting people sell your data like this?

Because of FUD spread about data protection laws… such as the GDPR?

GDPR has a giant gaping loophole for government pressure. They're also writing a new one to allow AI training that would otherwise be illegal.

Annnnnnnnd the FUD has begun.

Check for yourself. Conditions c and e: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

The only FUD here is you pretending this is FUD.

Why?

Disapointing to see your factually correct post downvoted.

Somebody must have a very thin skin!

> Which I never used because it requires permission to see my location

A healthy mistrust.

It's bizare how many people give their coodinates to any random website that asks for them.

Generally agree, but this is Wikipedia we're talking about.

> Just start the process to ban this party already

Oh dear.

Whatever happend to Voltares "I disprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it"?

EDIT: The irony of this post being downvoted in an attempt to hide it, rather than discuss an opinion you disagree with!

EDIT2: Please understand I have no love for AfD, rather a love of open politics (let everybody hear how crazy they are!).

> Whatever happend to Voltares "I disprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it"?

O tempora, o mores. Back in Voltaire's (sic) days, this would have been an issue between debating gentlemen, not one of massive spreading of hate. It's the fault of media and internet, I know, but that's not so easy to stop.

Voltaire never said that. However I understand your point, the truth is Europe has been on the precipice of far-right rule for decades and the only solution the European democracies found has been to push for banning, cutting funds, censoring the beast.

Anything but address the actual issues that helped catapult them to the top.

> Anything but address the actual issues that helped catapult them to the top.

The goal posts for those issues will always move.

Look at Japan for instance. For decades, its government's stances on immigration were far to the right of anything in Europe, and guess what, that still didn't stop a far-right faction and its sentiments from taking over.

You can always manufacture anxiety over literally anything, see for instance how the US republican party has made a fight over, like, 10 trans athletes a core pillar of their national culture war.

Free speech in Germany is limited. Hate speech, nazi slogans, etc... are banned.

And regardless, banning a political party (the process for which is set in Germany's constitution) is not the same as banning its former members from speaking.

Hmm. I will bite.

We have to see this through the lens of modern German history, and the corpus of rules (and lessons from history) that allowed the German Federal Republic to become an independent state again. I think this is not about saying things, but about saying things that foreshadow an attack on the constitution, and then perhaps very likely damaging the institutions of a country in the future.

A democratic state is a suboptimal construct. Once the politcal damaged, it is not easily repaired (See: Some countries East of Germany).

Well, given it is in none of his published works: nothing?

Even if the quote was correct, it is about free speech. Being elected and holding political office is beyond that.

It's usually superseded by "don't piss on my head and then tell me it's raining"

A sixty-nine interupted by a period?

Oh you

Four milli bits per second sounds very slow to me.

> Government bonds have fallen 80% relative to gold in the past few years.

I think most people would suggest the converse..... that gold prices have doubled over the last three years compared to virtually any stable western currency.
