- Get humped by a dog.
- Whine like a bitch.
I guess most people don’t get how terrifyingly dystopian this is.
In the EU, there is a serious push to make this mandatory.
There is a 1987 paper tracking the joke through history: A Romanian Political Joke in 12th Century Iranian Sources by Mahmoud Omidsalar (Hat tip)
This is the 12th century version (Hat tip):
A fox was running, grieving for his life.
Another fox saw him in such a state
And asked: “Please tell me, brother, what is wrong?”
He said: “The king is hunting donkeys here!”
“But you are not a donkey - so why fear?”
He answered: "That is right; but, oh!, these men;
They do not know and they cannot discern.
They think that fox and donkey are the same!"

Allegedly, expressions along the lines of “to prove you are not a camel” are common in Poland and Russia for tedious bureaucratic demands.

The paper contains errors about AI technology and should not be taken at face value. Notably, its understanding of distillation is wrong.
Unfortunately, it also lacks an analysis of EU law, which makes the paper rather useless. The EU almost always goes for monopoly rents in these matters, which does not stimulate anything. The EU has no content industry able to compete with the US’s, no major tech industry, and it is clearly not developing AI companies either.
EU law requires them to moderate that sort of thing. Bit ironic to complain about that on an EU instance.
Well, not to Europe. They’ve always been illegal here. I don’t know where they could even go.
PSA:
DNS censorship is standard procedure in European copyright enforcement. Since Quad9 made the unfortunate decision to establish itself in Europe, it is forced to obey.

It’s a genuine xeet(?).
