Me and my euro mates are not interested in this kid of "innovation".

The "business investors" and "innovators" can take this kind of business elsewhere.

This kind of talk where regulators are assaulted by free marketeers and freedom fighters is unacceptable here.

Let us not misinterpret business people as "innovators", if what they do is not net positive for the society, they do not belong here.



I'm not sure where "here" is and who you think you speak for, but as a European, I am strictly against regulation, in particular vague regulation made by non-elected EU bureaucrats. And no, freedom of speech and a discussion about the pros and cons is also not "unacceptable". It is part of the democratic process.


The AI act was voted by very-much-elected members of the EU parliament, in 2023, with a large consensus: 523 votes for, 46 against, 49 abstentions. [1]

You seem to very strict about the kind of political discourse that you would allow. And I'm going to even elaborate on how problematic is your "net positive or society" and who would possibly be in charge of determining that.
