Attempt at networking post!
Hi! I would love to meet and talk to more people in #dataScience #statistics #stats #pydata #dataViz etc etc
I have a Phd in #appliedMath and I work in #productAnalytics
I attend my local American Statistical Assoc meetings sometimes, but they are rare.
I also helped start an R User Group once, (but haven't used R in more than 10 years), and ran a Big Data reading group in #pdx
Please boost 😀

OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."
Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
