In the copyright debate, people often call LLMs human ("we did not copy your data, the LLM simply learned from it").
In this case it might be the other way around ("You can trust us, because we are merely letting a machine view and control your browser")
Yes it's fascinating how Meta managed to train Llama on torrent books without massive ripercussions: https://techhq.com/news/meta-used-pirated-content-and-seeded...
If LLM turn out to be a great technology overall the future will decide that copyright laws just were not made for LLMs and we'll retroactively fixed it.
So why would anyone think it's a good idea to give an AI (which is controlled by humans) access?
Your statement made me thought of this possibility:
It's possible we are anthropomorphizing LLM but they will just turn out to be just next stage in calculators. Much smarter than the previous stage but still very very far away from a human consciounness.
So that scenario would answer why you would be comfortable giving a LLM access to your browser but not to a human.
Not saying LLM are actually calculator, I just consider the possibility that they might be or not be.
The concept of Golem have been around for quite some times. We could think it but we could not actually make it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem
There's literally 0 startups I've been part of where data protection laws or even the infamous cookie banners have been anywhere near relevant (unless your business was literally profiling).
In fact the actors that most opposed those laws have always been non Europeans.
Sure, there is an attached cost in having your terms reviewed by a proper lawyer and documenting the entire list of cookie providers, but that's basically where it ends. It's really minimal effort and cost, we talking in the low single digits for the review, and few hours of engineering time.
The biggest issues in European growth are others:
- focus on being an export economy while neglecting the internal market.
- bureaucracy to fight at European level so we still don't have a real unified market, neither in physical goods (our economy's backbone) nor services which doesn't allow national startups to scale at European level
- very conservative and risk-adverse mentality. Young people in college can't wait to graduate and find the best paying lowest effort stable job. That's not a problem if it involves a majority of graduates, I imagine all world is like that, but you do have an immense problem if you have 1% or 3% or 10% of wannabe entrepreneurs.
In which situation is preferable to use CDP commands over Puppeteer?
Going forward, you'll find that the so-called T's & C's (terms and conditions) are dramatically different between commercial and private use. If you get a lawyer involved to sue Meta then the first thing they're going to want to review is Meta's policies and T's & C's and they'll make the assessment if you're violating them. Since they're going to do that anyway, you should have done that at the beginning so you could have avoided this whole mess.
