  My LinkedIn feed is 80% tech bros complaining about the EU AI Act, not a single one of whom is willing to be drawn on which exact clause it is they don’t like.

    Oh, so just like with the GDPR, cool.

      Ok, my main complaint about GDPR is that I had to implement that policy on a legacy codebase and Im pretty sure I have trauma from that.

        Sounds like that codebase was truly awful for user privacy then.

    My LinkedIn feed

    Yes… it’s so bad that I just never log in until I receive a DM, and even then I login, check it, if it’s useful I warn people I don’t use LinkedIn anymore then log out.

      I even ignore DMs on linkedIn, they’re mostly head hunters anyway.

        Not a terrible resource when you’re actually looking for a job. But that’s because all the automated HR intakes are a dumpster fire, more than anything headhunters actually bring in value.

    Did you seriously use LinkedIn? I always thougt that it was just narsisitic people posting about themselves never having any real conversations and only adding superficial replies to posts that align 100% with them

      If I could delete it without impacting my job or career I would. Sadly they’ve effectively got a monopoly on the online professional networking industry. Cunts

      Very useful for job hunting because it’s swarming with head hunters.

      LinkedIn gets you access to humans who will help you navigate the shitty HR AI that most big businesses integrate into their job intake process.

    I get it though, if you’re an upstart. Having to basically hire an extra guy just to do compliance is a huge hit to the barrier of entry

      That’s not actually the case for most companies though. The only time you’d need a full time lawyer on it is if the thing you want to do with AI is horrifically unethical, in which case fuck your little startup.

        That’s true with many regulations. The quiet part that they’re trying to avoid saying out loud is that behaving ethically and responsibly doesn’t earn them money.

    They’re probably not super fond of the idea of AI not being allowed to be deployed to manipulate people.

  It’s comforting to know that politicians in the EU also have no clue what “AI” is.

    Why do you say that
