As the EU @EU_Commission prepares to lauch the #fairshare consultation, it is good to remind why adopting the “Sending-Party-Network-Pays” model will upend decades of EU #NetNeutrality policy, as stressed in this letter to @ThierryBreton and @vestager 👉 mockup.wbgaspar.com.br/index…

"AI is a story we computer scientists made up to help us get funding ... It was a pragmatic theater. But now AI has become a fiction that has overtaken its authors. AI is a fantasy, nothing but a story we tell about our code. It is also a cover for sloppy engineering." J. Lanier
