Most newest AI models aren't allowed to be used in the EU, because Meta, Google, etc are training them on random people's personal data. So they just pulled out of the EU, instead of fixing their training data. More or less as a punishment to the EU for daring to regulate AI.

I don’t know that I’d really call being denied access to AI a “punishment,” if people in my region were blocked from using AI I would call that a “blessing”

it's probably so the megacorps with a stiffy for AI throw a hissy fit that they can't "fix" the "skilled labor shortage" with AI

the people with more power, capital, and influence are more likely to be pro-cutting edge technology because they also don't care about potential ramifications on society

Damn, EU won that battle.

Fucking awesome being a burgerlander. I’d like to think of myself as a hardened warrior conditioned by the most grueling conditions worldwide kkkapistan has to offer. Or a hamster if you want to be a douche >:
