Many people are against training no matter how, by whom and under what licence it’s done. Some people feelings are summed up by Miyazaki quote: AI is “an insult to life itself”. Honestly, from his perspective - I do understand the sentiment… Many people don’t want nuance

Yes, incompetence of people building systems being hacked. This is not new. A lot of human-built systems are not well built. AI is very good at poking holes. Nothing to do with consciousness or being rogue. If nothing else, AI is very good at destroying human-built systems. This IS the story

J’ai amené ma fille de presque 3 ans au musée Picasso. Elle courait partout et pointait sur les tableaux : “Elephant !”, “Lapin !”, “Loup !” Je suis totalement fan du rapport des enfants à l’art !

Je pense aussi au fait que dans certains pays les declarations des impôts sont quasiment données publiques. C’est ça que j’appelle “fermer une catégorie d’attaque”

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/08/2026

En tout cas, bravo pour promouvoir l’idée de faire des rapports sur l’utilisation des données volées. Par ce que si ça se trouve certains “numéros magiques” sont moins magiques qu’un y pensent aujourd’hui. Il est possible que l’impact de ces fuites est plus psychologique qu’autre chose 🤔

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/08/2026

Et “clés physique” est un concept bien plus vieux que l’informatique – j’ai l’impression que c’est plus facile à expliquer qu’un mot de passe. Mais bien sûr il faut une volonté institutionnelle et politique derrière…

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/08/2026

Dans l’état actuel des choses, je suis d’accord. Mais j’ai l’impression que les attaques cyber ne vont pas s’arrêter et ne feront probablement qu’empirer si des catégories entières d’attaques ne sont pas fermées…

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/08/2026

Par exemple : plus de clés physiques moins de numéros, codes, identités pivots etc.

Merci pour ce fil très intéressant ! Face à la montée des menaces cyber, vous avez l’impression qu’il existe une réflexion dans l’écosystème sur la necessité de se passer des “numéros magiques” (CNI, sécurité sociale, quotient familial) qui donnent des droits ou en tout cas facilitent la fraude ?

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

Harry Potter has been on the NYT Children's & Young Adult Series list for NINE HUNDRED AND FIVE WEEKS, in case you're wondering whether anyone gives a shit about giving the terf queen their money. And know that every pull to publish, fanfic, tattoo, pin, whatever the fuck keeps these books relevant.

Are we mad at this because they’re rich or because women are only good parents if they sacrifice everything for 18 years? It’s odd seeing all the men quoting this to dunk on it and call it ridiculous. This is pretty honest about the emotional and physical labour required for raising children

Modern TUIs are essentially GUIs, right? I think they are slightly less annoying to make cross-platform. Nobody likes cross platform GUIs. So you have to produce 3 GUIs

Yes please. I just watched the presentation and I am not sure if I get it right, but simulation testing seems to be “mock everything non pure”. But it feels like there is some nuance I am missing…

Not asking for an answer but I did spend 5 minutes reading and it seems like Brandenburg is famous precisely for protecting racist speech 🤷‍♂️ I suspect that we are just talking past each other and just have very different beliefs on how to build a peaceful society for all. That’s ok

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 20/06/2026

You very right. I’m sorry. I think we should leave this whole argument alone. I wasn’t trying to convince you of anything in the first place. I know you know legal stuff way better than me. Have a good day

100

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 20/06/2026

I most definitely don’t 😁 What is “imminent lawless action”? Is being homophobic or racist “imminent lawless action”? Or are you saying that Americans should hope for a landmark decision on racism and homophobia and when it happens it will improve things?

100

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

Argument can be maid that it’s not working at all. But I think there is hope. The fact that their actions are seen as outside of laws creates a different conversation. The system needs more teeth. But we can imagine a system that could work. In US I would not know where to start

100

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

I can talk about France (where I live). We have our share of Kirks. They are all regularly brought to a trial (for hate speech) and sentenced. The problem is, they are supported by serious money and see the fines as cost of doing business. So yeah, the system is not perfect.

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

The hate in US really seems inescapable… There is no legal mechanism to stop it. It’s either violence or “market place of ideas”. I don’t know how people are expected to live this way…

100

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

I gladly admit probably not knowing enough. I also do see a lot of Americans partially attribute Trump situation to first amendment. Like how you stop a Charlie Kirk spouting hate? I can see why people arrive to conclusion that shooting someone is the only way to stop the pain 😬

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

So your claim is that today it’s better to be a marginalized person in the US than say in France or in Germany? I just feel like not many people made this claim to me and I’m a bit surprised… I suppose it’s hard to isolate just one issue (free speech) from how genuinely terrifying life in US seems

000

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

It seems you proposing to give up on all form of regulation because of the risk of bad regulation. My main question, it seems like the lack of regulation didn’t save US from authoritarians coming to power 🤷‍♂️ From what I can see, people are oppressed by feds for all sorts of things in the US every day

100

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

Where this is true, EU produced GDPR and at least it is illegal to be a nazi in Europe… It’s not enough and along side good regulations there some bad ones. But US with free speech absolutism is absolutely bonkers from European perspective

120

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 19/06/2026

I’m quite curious about your reasoning for thinking it might not be possible. To me it’s quite binary – either there is no such thing as “soul” or “god” and it must be possible (the universe is just cogs and particles waiting to be understood) or there is something unknowable out there and then 🤷‍♂️🤪

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 13/06/2026

De ce que je comprends c’est aussi coupé pour les américains, l’injonction du gouvernement étant basé sur la nationalité et non sur le territoire, et donc impossible d’appliquer en pratique 🤪🤦‍♂️🤣🤷‍♂️

I love how social and human voting experience is in France. You vote at the nearest public school. It’s always on Sundays (so less conflict with work). People come with kids and first time voters celebrate with selfies 🎉

020

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 08/06/2026

There is no digital voting in France. I think most people do not trust it (for good and bad reasons). I think the size of the country and how centralized the administration logistics in France is playing a big role

010

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 08/06/2026

Yeah, I think this is the main difference. There is no mail voting in France (since 70’). We really a lot on proxy voting for people who cannot make it in person. I think the UK has mail voting, but I’m pretty sure it’s very niche

110

Paul Chavard @tchak.net · 08/06/2026

I clearly don’t understand something about US electoral logistics, because I’m always surprised by the time it takes to get results. In Europe (France and UK for sure), we have results a few hours after last station closes

I know that Russians do know that their state does not care about them, but I hope one day they’ll learn that the solution is not individual preservation and isolation but a push for a different future for all. In the meantime: Слава Україні!

Strange sentiment - feeling joy at seeing your hometown in flames… I hope for an end to this madness. Russia could end it any day but chooses not to, at the price of suffering for Ukrainians but also Russians. Since the beginning of the war, 4% of Russian men of active age are dead or wounded!

Out of curiosity I searched for how many police officers are in my city (Paris, France) and it’s more then 30 000 apparently. Given how small Paris is in comparison with NYC it blew my mind. The numbers are depressing everywhere…

As someone who lives between three languages, I often wonder if people are confusing translatable with added value of abstraction. Of course you can translate (explain) but it you have to replace one word with a paragraph you loose rhetorical impact (value of abstraction) 🤷‍♂️
