As a citizen I’m perfectly happy with the AI Act. As a “person in tech”, the kind of growth being “stunt” here shouldn’t be happening in the first place. It’s not overreach to put some guardrails and protect humans from the overreaching ideas of the techbro elite.

A problem with the EU over regulating from its citizens point of view is the AI companies will set up elsewhere and the EU will become a backwater.

Yep, that's why they need to regulate ASML. Tell ASML they can only service 'compliant' foundries, where 'compliant' foundry means 'only sells to compliant datacenters/AI firms'.

Thats how you get every government to throw money at any competitor to ASML and try to steal their IP.

From Europe's POV, it's better to compete in an area Europe leads (fab equipment) than an area Europe lags (frontier models).

AMSL EUV technology was developed in the US you know. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but AMSL follows US export controls
