はてなキーワード: ITSとは
Regarding the EU Omnibus Bill, Japanese experts appear to be lobbying your organization and other institutions. I believe the following points require attention:
1) It has become common in Japan to consider regulations regarding making decisions about individuals as the core of personal data protection, but this is a mistake. First, it is important to note that models trained on personal data or insights gained from statistically analyzing personal data can affect individuals even when used to make decisions about a group (rather than individuals). Second, such insights and models can be used by anyone, not just those who analyzed or trained them. On the other hand, if personal data is accumulated in a rich form, it can be used for various analyses, so the accumulation itself can be a threat.
2) Therefore, the core of personal data protection regulations is to curb the diversion of personal data beyond the intended use in the original context in which it was received, and the collection and distribution of personal data without limiting its purpose. Japanese law (as in the Omnibus Bill) defines personal data as data that may be personal data for one entity but not for an entity that does not identify the individual. As a result, this curb does not work well in Japan, and it has led to confusion and complexity in on-site practice. I believe the EU should not repeat Japan's mistakes.
3) Allowing the training of general-purpose AI with personal data as a "legitimate interest" is tantamount to abandoning the curb mentioned in paragraph 2) above. Even if it is proven that current LLMs are unable to recognize individuals in an integrated manner across multiple training data sets or RAG entries, this merely means that this has not been achieved with the current state of technology, and I believe that this should only be permitted if explicitly stipulated as an exception.
EUオムニバス法案に関して、日本の専門家が貴団体をはじめとする機関にロビー活動を行っているようです。以下の点に留意する必要があると考えます。
1) 日本では、個人に関する決定に関する規制を個人データ保護の中核と考えることが一般的になっていますが、これは誤りです。第一に、個人データで訓練されたモデルや、個人データの統計的分析から得られた知見は、個人ではなく集団に関する決定に使用された場合でも、個人に影響を与える可能性があることに留意することが重要です。第二に、こうした知見やモデルは、分析や訓練を行った者だけでなく、誰でも利用できる可能性があります。一方で、個人データがリッチな形で蓄積されれば、様々な分析に利用できるため、蓄積自体が脅威となる可能性があります。
2) したがって、個人データ保護規制の中核は、個人データが本来の文脈において意図された用途を超えて転用されること、そして、目的を限定せずに個人データが収集・流通されることを抑制することです。日本法の定義によると、（オムニバス法案と同様）ある主体にとっての個人データが、個人を特定できない主体にとっては個人データではないデータとなります。その結果、この抑制は日本ではうまく機能せず、現場の実務に混乱と複雑性をもたらしています。EUは日本の過ちを繰り返すべきではないと考えます。
3) 個人データを用いた汎用AIの学習を「正当な利益」として認めることは、上記2)の抑制を放棄するに等しいものです。仮に、現行のLLMが複数の学習データセットやRAGエントリにまたがる統合的な個人認識が不可能であることが証明されたとしても、それは単に現状の技術水準では実現できていないことを意味するに過ぎず、例外として明示的に規定される場合にのみ認められるべきであると考えます。

まとめ
DWが「労働力不足 = 成長のボトルネック」と強調するのは、政府が移民大歓迎のサイン。
日本の特徴: 量的不足（介護/建設/運輸）。有効求人倍率1.3倍だが、低賃金職多。

ドイツ vs 日本：労働者不足の違い（2025年最新データ）項目
どちらが深刻？
ドイツ 86%（世界1位、ManpowerGroup 2025）
ドイツ（+9pt）
空きポジション数
ドイツ 180万（Fachkräftemangel、BA 2025）
主な原因
日本（量的不足深刻）
影響セクター
ドイツ IT、エンジニア、医療、建設（Blue Card対象70職種）
移民政策
ドイツ 積極的（Opportunity Card、Blue Card、2024法改正）
経済影響
ドイツ 成長率0.3%（2025予測、労働不足で-0.5%成長阻害）
ドイツの特徴: 「Fachkräftemangel」（熟練工不足）がキーワード。量的より質的（IT/エンジニア/医療）。
DWが「労働力不足 = 成長のボトルネック」と強調するのは、政府が移民大歓迎のサイン。
日本の特徴: 量的不足（介護/建設/運輸）。有効求人倍率1.3倍だが、低賃金職多。
賃上げ進む（2025春闘5%超）けど、外国人労働者受け入れ遅れ（特定技能2号拡大も不十分）。
DWの指摘は本当か？はい、100%本当。 Malmendier教授「労働力不足 + 移民必要」 → 政府公式見解。
2025年現在、ドイツは世界一の労働不足国（ManpowerGroup）。日本は3位。
ドイツは**「移民で解決」路線（2024 Skilled Immigration Act）。日本は「女性/高齢者活用」**中心で遅れ。
※DW Newsはドイツ国営放送（Deutsche Welle）の英語版で、ドイツ政府資金で運営される国際放送局です。ドイツの視点で世界ニュースを伝える信頼できるメディアで、ドイツ経済の「構造的問題」を厳しく指摘する報道が多いです。トランスクリプトのUlrike Malmendier教授（German Council of Economic Experts）も、政府寄りの立場から「労働力不足 + 移民必要 + 競争力低下」を強調しています。

🇩🇪 ドイツが労働者不足に苦しむ理由（インタビュー内容＋背景を整理）
“We just don’t have enough hours worked… We don’t have enough workforce.”
つまり
「働く人そのものが足りない」＋「働ける時間の総量も足りない」
主因：
産業構造が輸出型なので労働力不足がそのまま国全体の伸びを止めている
ドイツ政府は専門家の言う通り 「移民をもっと積極的に入れるべき」 と考えている。
技能実習から「特定技能」へ少しマシになったが、まだ入国制限が強い
結果：
インタビューで：
“China… is catching up, overtaking us.”
ドイツは高品質で世界を取っていたが、中国が品質・価格両方で迫ってきた。
日本はすでにこの問題に20年前から直面していて、製造業の海外移転が進んでいたためダメージが分散されている。
ドイツはロシア依存が大きかったため、ウクライナ侵攻でエネルギー価格が急上昇
🔍 違い4：自動車産業の転換が遅れた
“The automotive industry… switched too late.”
→ EV化で大きく遅れた（日本も似ているが、ドイツは輸出依存度がもっと高い）
インタビューで：
“Consumers are more scared… cautious.”
国民が消費しなくなっている
日本も似ているが、
ドイツは「危機の直撃度」が高い（地理的にも、エネルギーでも）
少子高齢化 深刻 深刻
経済構造 製造業＋輸出依存度が非常に高い 製造業は縮小、サービス多め
結論：
ドイツは「人が足りない」ことが日本より直接的に経済成長を止めている。
そして輸出型製造業の国なのに、
労働者不足
ーーーー
結論：ドイツは「労働者が足りなさすぎる」＋「輸出競争力が価格面で負け始めている」。
日本は「人はいるが賃金が上がらない」＋「国際競争力は質ではまだ持ちこたえている」
① 🇩🇪 ドイツの最大の問題：とにかく働く人がいない（深刻度MAX）
“We just don’t have enough labor.”
“The number of hours worked in Germany is too low.”
つまり…
・高齢化が激しい
・移民受け入れが遅れた
ドイツ政府は移民受け入れを急拡大しているけど、それでも全然足りない。
日本は「女性と高齢者の労働参加」が高いため “労働市場はギリギリ維持”。
ドイツはそこが弱い。
動画でも語られてたように：
“Germany has lost price competitiveness.”
“Chinese products are catching up and overtaking us.”
🔥 日本との違い
動画でも言ってた通り：
“We missed the signal… combustion engines are not the future.”
つまり：
日本もEV遅れと言われるけど、ハイブリッドで強いため “まだ救われている”。
“Funds are being used to cater to voter clientele.”
“Not used for long-term productive investment.”
つまり：
老齢者向け給付
通勤補助
など「短期の人気取り」に予算が流れ、インフラ・教育・デジタル化など“未来投資”に回っていない。
🔥 日本との違い
日本も似た傾向あるが、
ドイツのほうが政治の調整がうまくいかず “改革が進まない影響” が直接成長率に出ている。
ウクライナ戦争でガス激高騰
労働者不足 極端。移民がなければ維持不能 まだ耐えてる（女性・高齢者労働率が高い）
製造業競争力 価格で負けている（中国に追い抜かれ始めた） 円安で逆に強化されている
自動車産業 EVで遅れ＝産業基盤が揺らぐ HV強い＝まだ安定
エネルギーコスト 超高い（ロシア依存の反動） そこまで致命的ではない
政治対策 未来投資より人気取りに流れがち 同じ傾向だが被害は比較的小
“We need to become a country more open to immigration.”
本人が自称すれば金持ちにもワーママにも弱者男性にもなれる自称文化の増田ならではだな。
国際法学者や国連関係者どころか女性権利擁護団体からも否定されまくってるんだわこの人
例えばこの記事はみんなにバカにされることにキレ散らかしているアルサレム氏を擁護するとみせかけて更にバカにしている記事
https://zenit.org/2025/07/27/un-womens-rights-czar-fights-back-against-trans-feminist-smears/
アルサレムは世界の女性権利団体から排斥され、政府支援のトランスジェンダーに友好的な女性権利団体とそのメディア同盟者から激しい攻撃を受けている。国連システム内部からも攻撃が来ており、彼女の任務を支援すべき国連人権事務所さえもその一端を担っている。
と報じられているように、この人は世界の『女性』権利団体からお前みたいな男性嫌悪と一緒にされるのは恥だと言われているし国連内部(この記事には書いてないが例えば 国連人権高等弁務官事務所）からも否定されている。

Actually, Yu-Gi- Oh! was originally intended to be a puzzle , or rather, a toy , like the Millennium Puzzle ...
But I think it's clear that what made Yu-Gi-Oh successful was the trading cards ... 😟
I think the key to its success is that it didn't set out to be a manga about puzzles right from the start .
In other words , without deciding on a specific direction for the story from the beginning , there are only characters and a vague ,
Also, incorporating the latest topics at the time, and a loose, tightrope- walking kind of manga might be better suited to serialization.
Also, inflationary battle manga , where ever stronger enemies appear , can go on forever .
Just when you think the universe will be destroyed and the end will come , a new Big Bang occurs and another world is created .
New characters will be available, and it should be possible to revamp Motorhead beyond just Gothic Maid ...

（以下コピペ）
I love Apple—that's why I'm angry at the SE and hopeful about the 16e.
Apple is not just a device manufacturer in my life. It has ideas, philosophy, and an uncompromising aesthetic. That's why I can talk about it this much.

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”
---
■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”
---
■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”

■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”

■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.

■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
