I think their work will all be for naught if we accept sloppily dressed lawyers as equals to smartly dressed ones...

Walter van Holst (whvholst@eupolicy.social)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 18:38:09 JST Walter van Holst @ilumium Amazingly enough we're three speakers in and several elephants in the room remain unmentioned:
* medical secrecy law as a body of law separate from data protection law
* data quality and semantics remaining an unsolved problem and tied closely to regulation of medical healthcare and not data protection lawThis panel appears to have swallowed the argument this is solely a data protection issue. It is not.

Walter van Holst (whvholst@eupolicy.social)'s status on Sunday, 29-Oct-2023 04:08:21 JST Walter van Holst @pettter As catchy as that phrase may be, it is widely understood as not only a call for a free Palestine, as well as a call for the erasure of Israel.

Walter van Holst (whvholst@eupolicy.social)'s status on Saturday, 28-Jan-2023 01:14:23 JST Walter van Holst @pettter @BarrenPlanet @sotolf @rysiek There are very few untold stories left. Certain plotlines keep recurring (Achilles and Superman, for example). It's how we render those stories that's considered creative and how those renderings reflect our personalities what is protected by copyright. Not the unique plotlines.

We may have to live with the idea of humans being able to be brilliant at one thing and otherwise mostly failing as human beings.

Walter van Holst (whvholst@eupolicy.social)'s status on Friday, 27-Jan-2023 22:41:46 JST Walter van Holst @pettter @BarrenPlanet @rysiek Being more objective does not preclude an ability to attain knowledge. While I don't buy much of the AI/ML hype (it's mostly the same technology as thirty years ago, just a lot more data), I don't buy into dismissing it as fundamentally unable to "learn" either. If any lessons learnt must be subjective, there cannot be any knowledge transfer between humans either.
