GPT Helped Me Write a Program to Summarize CJEU Cases

This post explores a little experiment I ran in February using OpenAI's GPT3, Google Collab, Python and this interesting hack to summarize CJEU cases. I originally posted this on LI in February and forgot to post it here, with new updates on v3 of the same code.

Beyond Privacy Theatre, Or Why Our Laws Mean We Can’t Have Nice Things

Over the past year or so, I've been struggling to articulate exactly why the practice of data protection has frequently felt like a defeatist slog. A few days ago, I read an amazing piece by Zvi Mowshowitz, and it helped to define a form for all the thoughts swirling in my head. It's really very simple: The current approach most of us have towards data protection and privacy does not motivate anyone towards positive action that meaningfully protects data or privacy.

This is a broken model, and I've got some ideas for how to fix it.
