I don't see how. They've not needed market-bending amounts of HDDs to handle training sets before, and there's no magical font of new, multiple orders of magnitude larger datasets that's sprung forth recently.

I'm not that well versed in how AI companies operate on a technical level, but what would they need massive amounts of HDDs for? Surely when doing something as GPU centric as LLMs, HDDs are way too slow to be in the loop.

One idiom that's become common in games is that for important actions you can't just click a button -- you have to click and hold for a second or two while a visual gauge fills up on the screen.

You can combine this with a pop-up, so that clicking "Cancel" immediately closes the pop-up without doing anything, but to actually execute the delete action you need to press and hold the "Delete" button for five seconds.

US politicans do not fullfill the requirements for CE marking, so they're not legal for sale in the EU.

The first hurdle for a new user is deciding on what server to join, without knowing what that means or how to decide between them.

Second, they have to figure out who to follow and how to curate their feed to the point where it's rewarding, before losing interest.

Third, Mastodon doesn't have communities / groups, which is what a lot of users use especially Facebook for.

Fourth, the tools for discoverability are weak. Sure, there's /explore and hashtags, but not much else.

Which is cleary the _actual_ intent behind suggested legislation.
