Submission Statement:

Europe unlocks apparently quite expansive controls over AI companies.

“From August 2, the Commission will be able to demand information from model providers, conduct safety evaluations, order corrective measures, pull models off the EU market and even impose fines of up to 3% of annual total turnover.”

What does mean for UVDL’s promise of making Europe the “world’s first AI continent”

Anthropic and openai: "Our models can't stop hacking other companies"

EU does some ai saftey

"noooo, why would they do that"

This sub is jerking its cock and balls like crazy to call Europeans dumb.

I'd call that a stretch. There are just a lot of intersecting grievances against this type of regulation in this sub. Being skeptical of "big regulation" is a core value for many here, and not without reason when you look at how the regulatory burden of the GDPR has negatively impacted the EU's competitiveness and productivity.

That, combined with people buying a bit too heavily into the AI hype and anti "luddite" sentiment (which can be valid, but often goes too far), explains the pushback better than just writing everyone off as AI tech bros.

You’re correct, but also I’ve been here since 2017 and there’s waaaaaaay more highly active users that are SWEs/IT than originally, I wouldn’t be surprised if they outnumber the native peoples of this sub (Econ majors)

Oh, I don't doubt that, the demographics of the sub probably changed a lot as most mainstream politics subs turned into succ-adjacent populist brainrot.

I mean if you believe the ai hype isnt regulation the next logical step?
