Dendrobatus Azureus<p>When large language models, LLM run by big corporations, do good things for you it's nice enough to get a chuckle.

It would work like this: </p><ol><li>Pay a European law firm to create an independent (i.e., non-subsidiary—not owned or controlled by Microsoft or any of its officers) <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> corporation; call it something like "Microsoft Europe." That corporation must have solely EU-resident EU citizens constituting its officers (board, directors, and voting shareholders). </li><li>Irrevocably license all Microsoft [US] IP involved in software or services used by EU principals to Microsoft Europe, as part of a contractual agreement requiring Microsoft Europe to follow Microsoft [US] direction <em>except</em> as contraindicated by EU or member-state law. Agree to allow Microsoft Europe to relicense under EU, rather than US, law, whenever providing products or services to EU customers, then have Microsoft Europe do so. </li><li>Include with the license all complete and corresponding source code (by the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPL</span></a> definition), and include in the contract an NDA prohibiting any reuse or redistribution of all but the open-source parts of that source code except as strictly necessary (by the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> definition) to fulfil license or contractual obligations to EU customers or to comply with EU or member state law. </li><li>Charge licensing feeds to Microsoft Europe equal to everything in excess of their operating costs (just enough personnel to fulfil licenses and contracts to EU suppliers and customers, plus EU-based insurance and legal services). Then Microsoft [US] is out no more revenue than necessary to run an office. </li><li>As the foregoing isolate Microsoft Europe legally and through disjoint org charts, isolate digital systems through cryptography. Make it mathematically impossible for Microsoft [US] to violate EU or member state law regarding EU data, as only Microsoft Europe would be able to access the cryptographic keys controlling confidentiality, availability, or integrity of EU data. </li></ol><p>The net effect: for the cost of perhaps a few to several million Euros, is that Microsoft [US] could maintain status quo the EU, except insofar as becoming unable to violate EU or member state law at the behest of the US government. The same model can be replicated in other jurisdictions, such as <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a>, and by other multinational digital services providers, such as <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> (Google). </p><p>To make this happen, EU (and other) governments can require it as a condition of continuing to do business with Microsoft (and other multinationals). </p><p>Maintaining a monolithic multinational corporation is the legal equivalent of maintaining a flat network. Internationally federating a multinational corporation is the legal equivalent of maintaining a well segmented network. In the coming years, US-based Big Tech companies will need to firewall their non-US operations off from themselves, as outline above. And non-US governments will need to mandate that. The sanctioning of the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ICC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICC</span></a> was already proof of that necessity.</p>

Gretchen K DeahlGuardian Monster: PANTANKEROUS PRICKLEBACK.<br> <br> PERSONALITY: Alert, like an angry porcupine, his glistening orange-blue quills and barbed tail are at the ready, prepared to skewer any oncoming danger.<br> <br> POTENTIAL ISSUES: Accidental shootings are always possible. Try not to be alarmed, his quills are not fatal, just darned uncomfortable. They are meant to deter, deflate, and temporarily incapacitate. You should probably be sitting down when you first meet, so you don’t hurt yourself falling over, just in case you become an unintentional victim.<br> <br> RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Speak softly and maintain eye contact at all times. Do not turn your back, bend down to tie your shoelaces or, for goodness sake, sneeze if at all possible. This monster is naturally high strung with a built in “itchy trigger finger”, and may shoot you accidentally. His eyes, nose and ears act like highly tuned defense radar, so any violent ACHOO! may activate it.<br> <br> PROTECTIVE POWERS: Backward Bodyguard<br> BENEFICIAL POWERS: Love's Arrow <br> <br> This

Gretchen K DeahlGuardian Monster: AMARASKA ICCKELBUSH<br> Her brother is called Amarisk.<br> <br> PERSONALITY: A bit on the shy side, Amarisk has a quiet demeanor and only shows his teeth while eating. His sister Amaraska, on the other hand, is much more outgoing and chatty. She is quite proud of her multiple rows of shark-like teeth and flaunts them as often as possible. She may even pretend to yawn as an excuse to flash her mouthful of pearly blue and whites.<br> <br> POTENTIAL ISSUES: Amarisk tends to gnaw on wood items (like your furniture) when he is feeling anxious (which is often). Amaraska prefers hard plastics to keep her teeth sharp and polished. She may also begin to chatter if she becomes nervous. I suppose that is better than chewing on fingers or toes, but both issues have been known to cause sudden headaches as well as the urgent need to flee in the person who is unfortunate to be near them when this behavior begins. Fainting has been reported as well.<br> <br> RULES OF ETIQUETTE: They usually work together as a team. When they present themselves to you, please welcome them in immediately and allow them to move freely within your home. They are looking for good eating spots and will quickly settle down once located. If you approach Amaraska too quickly, she may begin to jabber. Do not worry, she is just feeling a bit excited. If this happens, do not engage her directly in conversation. Simply nod your head and smile, then back away slowly. She will calm down eventually, but may continue mumbling to herself for a short period of time before stopping. <br> <br> PROTECTIVE POWERS: Indoor Pollution Management<br> BENEFICIAL POWERS: Bliss Creation<br> ----------------------<br> NOW AVAILABLE in my Redbubble shop:<br> <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/gretchenkdeahl/shop" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.redbubble.com/people/gretchenkdeahl/shop</a><br> (Fulfills and ships orders worldwide. :-)<br> (100% human-made) human imagined, drawn and painted, no AI whatsoever.<br> ----------------------<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/illustration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illustration</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drawing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drawing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/monster?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monster</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/creature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#creature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/magic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#magic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/imagination?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#imagination</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fantasyart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fantasyart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alphabet?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alphabet</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alphabetseries?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alphabetseries</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/letterA?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#letterA</a>

Gretchen K DeahlGUARDIAN MONSTER: Waunakee Rippleskin.<br> <br> PERSONALITY: Volatile best describes the ever-changing moods of this monster. One minute she is glowing with a sunny smile. The next minute she is grouchy, touchy, sad, exhilarated, etc…<br> <br> POTENTIAL ISSUES: Her multiple personalities can be fascinating but exhausting. It’s hard to carry on a conversation when you have no idea who will be showing up to assist you. Never fear. She’s got it under control (most of the time) and can short circuit the babble of voices long enough to hear your question.<br> <br> RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Approach her carefully with your gaze cast downward. Ask permission to look at her directly as she is quite sensitive to being stared at. Once she has given you her okay, go ahead and look carefully into her eyes. When they stopped shifting color and remain a warm brown, be prepared to discuss your request(s).<br> <br> PROTECTIVE POWERS: Family Connections<br> BENEFICIAL POWERS: Self Nurturing <br> <br>

Gretchen K DeahlGUARDIAN MONSTER: ULF SHINGLEFIT<br> This grumpy looking Guardian Monster is called Ulf Shinglefit.<br> PERSONALITY: Surly. Suspicious. Irritable and sullen. King of the grumps. Not a fun fellow to spend time with.<br> <br> POTENTIAL ISSUES: No one is really sure, since no one has taken the time to get to know this disagreeable chap...yet. And who can blame them? He keeps to himself and watches others having fun from a distance. If you get too close, he will either run away or growl at you until you run away. There is a purpose to his attitude however. Discover how it affects his powers.<br> <br> RULES OF ETIQUETTE: This unhappy guy should not be approached directly. If you would like to make contact, I suggest leaving food, letters and/or flowers at a distance. He may ignore the food and eat the flowers or letters right in front of you out of sheer contempt. Please understand that he is simply testing your desire and willingness to keep trying, because he doesn’t believe that you really want to get to know him. Be patient. As with most crabby folks, something in the past must have hurt them terribly and they believe that they are unlovable and not worthy of kindness or friendship.<br> <br> PROTECTIVE POWERS: Grump Projection <br> (Yes, this really is a power.)<br> BENEFICIAL POWERS: Compassion Reaction <br> <br> --------------------------------<br> This artwork is NOW AVAILABLE in my Redbubble shop:<br> <a
