Thanks, hadn't come across them. I will have a poke around and reach out. Appreciate the pointer.

There are slight contradictions in this open list of complaints with a bit of guesstimates.

As mentioned digital ids are a thing and this is where everything is moving. The author mentions that it would be great to use it but does not believe it is possible and then says age checks will lead to it and it is bad. There are reasons why digital ids will be forced and one of the big ones is because bigtech companies do not want to invest into looking after the content, e.g. misinformation, bullying, etc. Not to mention the inability of companies to control the age of users, and everyone knows this is not in the interest of advertisers.

Criticism is good but it also has to offer some options. Saying everything is bad bad does not help. All in all I have kids and it is very difficult to filter all of their internet traffic and I am not your average parent. Kids are reading crap and get brainwashed everyday, and the idea that you should just let them is ridiculous. Cyber bullying is a thing and I wonder what would you do when your kids get to be on the receiving side.

IMO this is trying to blame politicians who represent their electorate who wants this without acknowledging that the issue is in huge ad funded companies whose interest is to gather all that private data without any supervision or filtering. BTW Data is constantly being leaked from large companies as well, not only gov entities.

In relation to guesstimates the author jumps to possible conclusions without sufficient proof.

What would the author suggest to fix the main issues though?

Did this sort of a thing in my own macos app which can have routines with a cron, custom configs and chains of prompts. There is also more like custom VMs and models to be used for different tasks. Interesting to see larger providers trying to do the same.

But their own failure is the fact that there is a limited way to configure it with other models, think 3d modelling and integrating 3d apps on a VM to work with. I believe an OSS solution is needed here, which is not too hard to do either.

There is a reason why countries in Europe have such laws. US did not have a major war for quite a while on their own soil which affects your thinking. We do not want to reignite national socialism or communism, we do not like to see news channels lying to us. We do not like Russian bot armies spreading propaganda in chats.

What truth is it that you cannot say in Europe? You can say pretty much anything and be critical and nothing will happen to you. And if something happens there are instruments like European court system which you can use to fight your case (there is no need to be rich for that).

Individuals get arrested for posting memes in the U.K. and fined and/or get phones taken away in Germany for the same because an unelected bureaucrat did not like it. 1984

At the end it mentions what the future engineers will do:

> Engineers spend more time writing specifications and models, designing systems at a higher level of abstraction, defining precisely what systems must do, what invariants they must maintain, what failures they must tolerate.

We do that already and the abstractions are very high. The other part is about knowing what the system is supposed to do way in advance, which is not how a lot of engineering is done because it is an exploratory problem. Very few of us write crypto or spend much time in a critical piece of code. And most importantly no user ever said if the software they buy is using proofs. Just like security these concerns are at the bottom of a barrel.

And if you kept everyone and used AI you could expand the business. Oh wait, they are out of ideas.

It shows their red teams were preoccupied with something else. Even the primary rejection of this issue by G themselves shows some serious ignorance.

Have you been on these reviews? The idea that the review will catch a misuse of the key generation infrastructure is a bit over the top.

However you like it or not banning just one company is not a recipe for success. IMO the issue is in the procurement and how these tenders are worded. For instance, if the requirement is data residency backed by private keys and conf compute then put it in writing. The idea that some other vendor will come in and solve this problem without such a requirement upfront will not hold for long.

By and large MS problem is that our world gets fragmented and you need to have products that adapt, eg great firewall in China, strict data residency in Europe. It is difficult to achieve that without segmenting your products as well.

Irish infra is not great if you compare it to many advanced European countries. I hate they still do not have a train/tram connection from the airport to the city. Taxes also make you weep. Not to mention an immense risk of losing all those corp taxes and industry if US pushes ahead and creates barriers for companies to trade. It is great at many things but also has some downsides.
