No, I talked about putting this energy into convincing others to vote with their wallets, not just “doing nothing”. A boycott is an active campaign. It doesnt just mean not buying a product. It means not buying any associated product. Not even tolerating them in conversation.

I’m basing my opinion on how the commission has responded to similar successfully raised initiatives: “that’s already covered by legislation and up to EU states to manage”, “no that’s something we cant support, but feel free to appeal endlessly”, and in the most effective one, “committing to making a legislative proposal by 2023 but actually if thats ok we’ll make it 2026 and I suppose then if legislation is agreed it may be in place within a decade” (end cage farming, which polls at 86% approval already in the EU).

No you cannot

Like, ok, I guess you could

OK buddy, cybercrime never happens and interpol will come arrest your python script if it did because you messed with an EU “government” form that might have resulted in them having to get a 60 year old Greek politican to ask what a EULA was

What on earth makes you think an online petition, which has never led to any of the consumer friendly regulation you mention, has the ‘highest’ chance? Or that the alternative to a petition is doing nothing?

All of that regulation came primarily from legal cases.

You need to input a number matching a regex, the format for which is helpfully provided on the page.

Answering doesn’t mean doing anything, and all they have to do is generally wave in the direction of the overwhelming popularity and profitability of the products compared to the online petition that 0.2% of the EU’s adult population will have signed.

If the general public does not care, legislation will not follow. Filling out and promotinh a glorified change.org form is energy wasted on actually popularising your viewpoint instead of trying uselessly to get it in unpopularly.

You know you can just fill in what you want right? And the number goes up? They even put the format right there.

Ask ChatGPT to make you a script to fill in that form with Beautiful Soup. Takes 30 seconds, if you haven’t already.

It’s cool that you led with Estonia, the one that was botted to 100% signatures a couple of days ago.

You’re claiming mutual exclusivity…

No, I’m not. I’m saying this is a waste of time. Like, writing six paragraphs that say nothing new level of wasting time.

Nobody said anything about AI or LLMs.

Flooding online petitions with bots isn’t even a this-century thing let alone anything to do with AI hype.

There is zero scrutiny possible for the form which is 100% based on trust that the signer is who they say they are adults where they say they are. If you want to be John Smith in UK, Paddy Murphy in Ireland and Jurgen Schmidt in Germany, you can be. There’s a reason none of these initiatives have done anything except keep people who care about something busy with dopamine graphing instead of doing something like boycotting relevant games and publishers.

And no, like to the EU, Youtuber noise is not relevant to me. Millions of views is literally nothing. You see the general state of the world, yes?

You guys need to make your bots a little less obvious

You can see from the previous prompt that it is already being “fun”. The user almost certainly prompted it do so.

In fact we can’t actually tell that the user didn’t prompt the bot to be a clutzy fub “witch” who makes serious mistakes and feels bad about it.

And the way that LLMs work, it would absolutely be more likely to say something stupid that way than if you told it that it was a genius science communicator.

Did you commit to this before you knew what a Cornetto was?

“I thus have no compelling reason to continue interacting with you” … I bid them farewell … I have never gotten a follow-up after that

It’s great that you respond like this because then the hiring manager can show their boss this and both be happy they dodged a fedora bullet

Crimes are (ostensibly) supposed to be proven beyond doubt, so yes, it can be (and often is, I work for a telecom) used evidence, for both prosecution and defence.

The fuck are you talking about? Do you think millions of people are going online with flashcarts that aren’t pirates?

Grass, famously, does not die when it’s cut. In fact to some degree, grass benefits from being grazed on, as grazers in a meadow will eat everything - leaving grass that is ready to grow back quickly, and severely harmed weeds and shrubs that will either die or be significantly set back while the grass quickly overshadows it.

Your code can compile while you’re in a retro, retrospectively looking back at the action items raised in a previous retro but not assigned any sprint time in the current sprint so you just raised a “what went wrong” about it not being planned and now you have more non-sprint work to do because every problem should be presented with a solution and if you could have that for the next retro they’ll review this retro’s action items and see if you have a proposal for fixing retro action items
