Midjourney builds a crazy full body ultrasound scanning system, where the person is submerged in water and scanned by very sophisticated ultrasound sensors.

Interesting idea, but I am unsure about the scale of all this. Is this a „we put data centers in space“ kind of bullshit or a realistic idea that can be a cost effective, low invasive allternative to MRT scans that is precise enough to provide benefits in diagnosing diseases early?

Looks like I was on point.

In a press briefing today, EU Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier stated that “Apple was simply unable to develop interoperability solutions that meet essential EU privacy and security standards,” and also that its inability to release Siri AI in the EU while remaining in compliance with the DMA before 18 months was a no-go for the Commission. https://audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/media/video/I-290903

It definitely seems like Brussels saw Apple's proposal as yet another way of asking for an exemption that the Commission is no longer willing to grant to a company which it already had to fine under the DMA.

A fact that Apple has decided to twist on its head and present as stubbornness on the Commission's part instead of on its own.

#Microsoft sent an email to everyone saying they're listening to people now and they will definitely not pushing AI to everything anymore.

Also Microsoft enabled #github to collect all your "inputs, outputs and associated context to train and improve AI models". This new tickbox is enabled by default, even if you explicitly disabled Copilot before.

Actions speak louder than words.
