Multiple junior researchers have asked for guidance on being supportive yet are worried about repercussions. So I wrote this F.A.Q.
You must survive. We need you in the fight for the next few decades! Make choices accordingly (feel free to DM)

ALT F.A.Q. at linked website, on "As a junior academic/researcher, I'm supportive, but worried about repercussions" Text is on the website on strategies for supporting invisibly.

Looks interesting! DCODE supervisor @quillis also has a section on privacy paradox. "The state of privacy is not a paradox, just an impossible state of affairs
rendering the individual helpless."

This may be the "first (comprehensive) regulation on #ArtificialIntelligence" but it's certainly not the first regulation that *applies* to #AI.
In the wake of this news, let's not forget that there's no #AI exemption to the laws on the books.
