Explain it to me like I'm 5... why does a syslog service need to be "AI first"?

rsyslog Goes AI First β€” A New Chapter Begins - rsyslog

After 24 months of focused evaluation and careful experimentation, we’re excited to announce a major shift in the evolution of rsyslog: we’re going AI First. This marks the beginning of a strategic transformation in how we design, develop, and support rsyslog and its ecosystem. While today’s post is just a short announcement, it lays the […]

The hardest disbelief to suspend about the show.
I just went outside. 1 out of 5 stars, would not recommend.
Another colourful morning.

@fooflington that’s 6.1 b) and c) of the GDPR.

Legitimate interest is 6.1 f) and is much more fuzzily defined and a subject of many a lawsuit.

One example that comes to mind is that the Spanish DPA allows for processing the name and professional contact details of a person in another company with whom your company has a business relationship under legitimate interest, which doesn’t explicitly fall under a contractual obligation.

Another might be a company holding onto a job applicant’s data if they feel they may be suitable for a future posting not currently available.

Fraud prevention is something explicitly mentioned in the recitals of the GDPR as legitimate interest too.

Marketing? Online cookie stuff? Very very thin ice as legitimate interest. I certainly don’t consider it valid, and have advised companies of mine as such, as a DPO.

The second lecture was an #AI engineer from #Google. I was a bit sceptical but he was great … The questions the kids asked were even better though and really made him think. Like "given how much water it uses, is it worth it?" and "what are we doing to make sure it doesn't revolt?" And "just because it can do something, should it?"

Not sure he was expecting a quietly and very politely confrontational teenage audience but he handled it really well and had some great answers (but I could see he had to think!) 😝

Spent the morning at the #RoyalInstitution with child2 for a "maths masterclass" - a few lectures and panel session to promote #STEM for teenagers.

The first session was a #maths academic from #Cambridge who talked about the maths of folding paper and then modelling diseases spreading and made both really accessible and engaging.

In the not every idea is worth developing without thinking it through first category.

I know I know that’s not very move and break things vibe innovation. In our modern world, people make a living off of spinning garbage and we should think of their needs and not be so selfish.

If it's legitimate interest, why can I turn it off? #gdpr
