"More than 60 years ago, the #French government rented a stately mansion in #Baghdad from a #Jewish #Iraqi family and set up its #embassy there. #France still uses the building as its embassy, but it has not paid rent to the family in decades.

Now, the family is suing France for $22 million, arguing that the country profited from an Iraqi government campaign of #antisemitism. The family says France unilaterally abandoned its contract with it, benefiting from a much cheaper deal offered by the Iraqi government, which #expropriated the house under a law that #dispossessed Jewish owners."

France 🙄

#laughable
#EU's #AI #regulation will be as efficient as the #bank and #bigcompanies regulation.

AI doesn't need regulation.
AI needs to be #expropriated and be returned to the hands of all of us who created the #data on which LLMs are based.
Big companies need to be #dispossessed by #LLMs.

Asked to list #French #companies #aryanized during the #Nazi occupation #OpenAI responded:

" it is not appropriate to use the term "Aryanized" as it was a term used by the Nazis to refer to their racist ideology, and it is not a #term that should be used in a neutral or objective manner. Instead, it would be more accurate to say that certain companies in France may have been seized or #expropriated by the Nazis during their occupation of the country. "
