EU AI Act Demands Informed, Disclosure-Aware Patent Strategies
The requirements for governance, model transparency/notification, began in August 2025. General applicability of most of the AI Act including obligations for “high-risk” AI systems begin in August 2026. Obligations for high-risk AI systems that are part of safety components in regulated products become applicable in August 2027.
By introducing a tiered, risk-based regime, the law bans certain AI practices outright, layers strict obligations on high-risk systems, and establishes unprecedented oversight for general-purpose AI and foundation models, especially those with systemic impact. Its reach is global—any company placing AI into the EU market must comply and its penalties are steep.
For businesses and their counsel, compliance isn’t optional. It’s now the price of entry into one of the world’s largest markets, and it will influence how innovation is documented, safeguarded, and patented.
It’s important to understand the AI Act’s most consequential provisions for patent strategy, particularly how regulatory documentation duties intersect with data provenance, inventorship disputes, trade secret versus patent trade-offs, claim drafting under new compliance constraints, and geo-strategic filing decisions.
The AI Act distinguishes between four key categories of AI systems:
Minimal-risk systems (AI-enabled video games, spam filters)
Limited-risk systems (chatbots interacting with users)
High-risk systems (AI in health care, education, employment, infrastructure, biometric identification)
General purpose and foundation models
While minimal and limited risk systems carry only modest obligations, the regulation of high-risk and general-purpose/foundation models forms the core of the AI Act and presents the most significant patent implications.
Before entering the market, high-risk systems must clear a conformity assessment and provide detailed technical documentation that includes:
System description and intended purpose
System architecture, algorithms, and datasets used
Risk management, testing, and validation protocols
Transparency and human oversight measures
Properly managed, these records can help distinguish human inventive contributions from AI-assisted outputs, providing valuable support for defending inventorship and reinforcing patent validity in a contested landscape.
Documentation and dataset summaries may further reduce the viability of trade secret protection. Both the EU Trade Secrets Directive and US law require that information be kept confidential through reasonable protective measures.
By mandating disclosures, the AI Act can erode this confidentiality, making secrecy harder to sustain in practice. This shift alters the calculus for IP strategy. In some cases, patenting may become the safer path, as certain technologies no longer can be reliably safeguarded as trade secrets.

Everyone who joins the military ends up with like 6 sets they don't need, and they end up donating them. Usually you find stuff used, but there's a decent amount of stuff that ends up sitting on storeroom shelves for a decade before being sold to the civilian population.

Poland Signs Palantir, Anduril Deals Amid Record Army Spending
Poland signed two separate deals with Palantir Technologies Inc. and Anduril Industries Inc. on Monday as the country steps up to upgrade its army amid record military spending.
Poland’s Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz and Palantir Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp signed a letter of intent on data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in Warsaw. At the same time, state-owned PGZ SA agreed with Anduril to cooperate on making Barracuda-500M cruise missiles, without saying when production would start or how much the deal was worth.
The Palantir deal is an early stage agreement and neither the government nor the company said how much the deal was worth. Poland is interested in several systems the company offers, including for battlefield management and logistics, Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
The minister said the Palantir CEO told him the company planned to invest in Poland, tapping into the potential of the local defense industry and engaging Polish engineers, without giving details. The country expects to sign deals with Palantir for specific systems in the next two or three months.

Portland, OR.
Ten degrees C on top of the hill overlooking the city. Camera set for a thirty-second exposure. Fingies very frozen. I'll get it right this time.
The big things I wanted was all of Burnside in the pic, the three big skyscrapers in a row, the garish orange Hilton sign excluded, and lovely trees down in front for offset.
Thanks for seeing my work!

Compare, as in equal? No. You can’t “game” a person (usually) like you can game an AI.
Now, answer my question
There is no conversation to be had here, because you have no point.
A text generator is not someone you talk to, it's a thing that takes your input and then outputs the text that is most likely relevant to said input.
No reasoning. No knowledge.
Taking the example made in one of the other comments here, you could paint a face to a ball and keep yourself mentally stable on a desert island, but the ball isn't doing anything, there's only you on the island.
Apply that to getting mental help from an LLM and you'll see how creepy it is.
It’s pretty difficult to prove my point when you refuse to have a conversation. What you want is to just get your dopamine by criticizing others instead of allowing them to argue their point.
So you are right, there is no conversation to be had here because you are not willing to engage in a conversation.
I wish you the best in your therapy.
Totally another thing, since we are talking about language here.
But feel free to join the other guy in talking to your screen.
Quantum Attacks on encryption will probably be feasible by 2030
#DEF CON 33 - Post Quantum Panic: When Will the Cracking Begin, & Can We Detect it? - K Karagiannis
Due to recently published algorithmic improvements (1399 qubits @ 2048 bit key length for Shor's) and leaps being made in quantum computing hardware (IBM Starling @ 200 logical qubits in 2029, and IBM Blue Jay @ 2000 logical quibits from 2033 and on), encryption is in danger of State-sponsored and high end-criminal attacks as soon as 2030. Particularly susceptible are crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, which rely on the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) and are attackable by Shor's factoring capability on a predictably feasible quantum computer.___###

Step by Step, How China Seized Control of Critical Minerals

China is the sole producer, for example, of samarium, a rare earth metal used in many military applications. China is also the only country to master the difficult art of refining ultrapure dysprosium: The entire world’s supply, needed for superfast chips, comes from a single factory near Shanghai.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/business/china-rare-earth-export-controls.html
Seized? That's a joke.
West allowed and even encouraged this by failing to build their own industry and relying on China's cheaper labour. Why pay unioned workers a fair pay when you can exploit foreign work force instead for maximum shareholder value.
See national security is irrelevant when it comes at a cost of corporate overlords profit margins.

Two Illinois National Guard members told CBS News they would refuse to obey federal orders to deploy in Chicago as part of President Trump's controversial immigration enforcement mission — a rare act of open defiance from within the military ranks.
"It's disheartening to be forced to go against your community members and your neighbors," said Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek, a Latina guardswoman and state legislative candidate from Illinois's 13th District. "It feels illegal. This is not what we signed up to do."

Why Is the NYT Editorial Board More Worried About Progressivism Than Fascism? | Common Dreams
cross-posted from: sopuli.xyz/post/35849167
An estimated 7 million peaceful protesters took to the streets on October 18, in the second-largest demonstration in US history (after the first Earth Day in 1970), demanding accountability and a return to democracy and the rule of law. In a system of government where citizens can only use the ballot box every two to six years to show how they feel about their electeds, that’s something you’d think would warrant journalistic attention.Yet at the nation’s paper of record—whose headquarters sat literally a stone’s throw away from the New York City No Kings march route—the protest was deemed not important enough for a front-page story. Two small below-the-fold photos were offered instead (10/19/25), with the accompanying article buried on page 23.
