There are several levels of understanding of your history. Firstly, you have none. At the second level you suffer the misapprehension that your country has been there forever (which is the level that most nationalists get stuck at).

After that it starts to get complicated.

Old cities used to just level old buildings and build on top of the rubble.

But that doesn’t work if you need to support a skyscraper (not if you want it to stay upright), or dig a metro line, so new developments are now excavating the old rubble.

> many people don't see themselves as having a meaningful identity as EU citizens

I sometimes wonder if the citizens of the United States (of America) even comprehend that the EU is not itself a sovereign nation (unlike the states in say, the USA, or Australia) and is just a union of sovereign polities.

Nobody in the EU is an EU Citizen unless they are a citizen of one of the member states.

I’ll be curious to see if they make the models accessible to Shortcuts, like they do with the current models.

Most of them require hardware acceleration from the CPU or GPU and that can potentially be exploited to escape the sandbox. GPUs in particular are difficult to sandbox.

The difficulty in exploiting ffmpeg is getting anyone to use it on your input. Sure, you might pwn a few people, but is it worth the effort?

The EU lost its manufacturing capacity to countries with cheaper labour, just like the US. The US has only succeeded in IT, everywhere else it struggles against Asia.

The ‘American dream’ attracted a lot of talent (look at how many tech leaders were immigrants), and once the network effects (both IT and social) kicked in it was hard to stop. This is a story that has unfolded many times throughout history. Talent moves to where talent is. And it will move if conditions change.

When the Chinese do it they will use it to attack US infrastructure that won’t have been hardened because the models are behind walled gardens.

Despite the damage it’s better to build up an immunity through ongoing exposure, unless you want to end up like the previous American civilisations.

I wouldn’t want to try and develop a sandbox for an AI that could protect the user and yet still be useful. Having an AI act on your private data but only in the way you want is hard enough when it’s a model that you control on hardware you own. Having third parties running AI on your private data requires a level of trust that I wouldn’t want in the hands of random developers in the app store.

They don’t want third parties to be able the access all data on your phone. Do you?
