    I'm surprised that most of the comments here are siding with Europe blindly?

    Am I the only one who assumes by default that European regulation will be heavy-handed and ill conceived?

    Everything in this thread even remotely anti-EU-regulation is being extreme downvoted

    Yeah it's kinda weird.

    Feels like I need to go find a tech site full of people who actually like tech instead of hating it.

    It is fascinating. I assume that the tech world is further to the left, and that interpretation of "left" is very pro-AI regulation.

    I like tech

    I don't like meta or anything it has done, or stands for

    I like tech, but I despise cults

    Don't know if I'm biased but it seems there has been a slow but consistent and accelerating redditification of hacker news.

    The regulations are pretty reasonable though.

    Tech and techies don't like to be monopolized

    No we like tech that works for the people/public, not against them. I know its a crazy idea.

    Your opinions aren't the problem, and tech isn't the problem. It's entirely your bad-faith strawman arguments and trolling.

    That feeling is correct: this site is better without you. Please put your money where your mouth is and leave.

    If you don't hate big tech you haven't paying attention. Enshittification became a popular word for a reason.

    Are you suggesting something here?

    As others have pointed out, we like tech.

    We don't like what trillion-dollar supranational corporations and infinite VC money are doing with tech.

    Hating things like "We're saving your precise movements and location for 10+ years" and "we're using AI to predict how much you can be charged for stuff" is not hating technology

    It's the AI hype and the people who think they are hackers because they can ask a LLM to write code.
