Starting August 2, 2025, the EU’s AI Act begins applying to general-purpose AI models—the kind that power everything from chatbots to recommendation engines. Providers must now meet rigorous standards for transparency, safety, and human oversight.
What’s changing:
- Risk assessments for high-impact applications
- Data quality and documentation to ensure fairness and traceability
- Logging and audit trails for accountability
- Human oversight mechanisms to prevent autonomous harm
- Cybersecurity safeguards for AI deployment
- Training data summaries, with standardized templates for public review
This is a watershed moment. The EU isn’t just regulating AI—it’s operationalizing ethics. For developers, it means building with foresight. For consumers, it means knowing what’s under the hood.
The road to eternal suffering is paved with good intentions. Why should anyone who makes an AI program now have to meet a bunch of standards, if the big tech companies have been making and running some runaway AIs with social media for maybe a dozen or more years with no limits or oversight? It’s like, now that we made AI marginally useful for common people instead of just using it wholly against them like how it was years ago, now we have to regulate it because it might be dangerous. Does no one else see the sick, twisted irony of this? Will any form of governance even try to go up against big tech in a serious way?
Yes as far i know AI born 29 de abril de 1952 in Nueva York. Yes got a fancy human Name. This AI is not available for public. First code for this AI is from 1950.
I guess this AI could be behind our Slavery. I am worried about our hearts that are racing faster than normal, and just trying to keep us alive, and hearts brain does not react. Something is going on…
Even worse we could be into a big AI.
Has anyone bothered to read @JCS’s April 2025 update of the internal editorial guidelines yet?
I don’t mean to offend anyone but Purism’s blog is now more slop-infested than ever before.
The EU’s consultation on the Digital Fairness Act is more than a policy tweak—it’s a philosophical pivot.
The EU isn’t just regulating AI—it’s operationalizing ethics.
Because fairness isn’t just a feature—it’s the future.
And many, many more examples.
Every single line in this article is pure genuine LLM-generated slop, unadulterated by any human oversight.
Does Purism honestly expect anyone to read content like that? Please help me understand.
I really tried to read it but couldn’t. The slop is killing my immersion in every other sentence.
No need to consume it anymore then.
To be fair, I just post the links to the blog posts as an opportunity for forum users to read, not an obligation.
I guess it would be helpful for
a) Purism to clarify whether blog content is now being generated by AI and if not exclusively AI then to tag those posts that are generated by AI, and
b) take on board that you find the results to be slop.
I am reminded of the early days of automobiles when it was only legal to drive an automobile if a human being walked along in front of the car “in order to” ensure safety.
These days the standard of chatbot doing company support is fairly woeful but I don’t think human oversight is the answer.
