Doesn't seem terribly surprising to me, the existing rules make it very hard to make use of data for AI training in the EU. Other parts of the world have looser restrictions and they're developing AI like gangbusters as a result. The EU needed to either loosen up too or accept this entire sector of information tech being foreign-controlled, which would have its own major privacy and security problems.

Yeah, like, that’s the whole point of privacy… Are you that retarded or did you get a paycheck from Sam Altman?

There really is no need for this rudeness. I'm sure you can make your point without resorting to this sort of language. Let's try not to turn into reddit.

I explain why I think the thing the article is about is happening, I get pummelled with downvotes because people don't like the thing I'm explaining. Someone calls me a retard, they get as many upvotes as I got downvotes. Seems like we're already in a pretty bad spot.

I suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.
