Do you believe I can't get a list of 20 effective pro-consumer regulations drafted by the EU out of Gemini?

I don't think you're taking my "there's two sides to regulation" comment in good faith.

I gave a pretty clear example of pro-consumer regulation myself.

Saying that the EU is overregulating cannot possibly be that controversial, given that even the European politicians are beginning to admit it.. Draghi, Von der Leyen (even though she passes blame), Merz, Macron.

  • I took it in good faith I just think that:

    - the overregulation narrative conflates two different problems

    - and that you minimized too much the consumer benefits of EU legislation

    I think the overregulation problem olis less that we have 200 EU regulations and we need to hack and slash 100 of them and more that we have 100 national regulations 25 are exact transcriptions of EU directives, 25 are transcriptions with tweaks and the other 50 are national scoped regulations and what we need to do is to make them uniform so that companies don't have to deal with 27x75 problems.

    I'm a bit burned by politicians using the overregulation narrative and then not specifying a single example of a meaningfull rule that they would get rid of. Usually what is left in the air is that worker rights and consumer rights should be cut.

Maybe you should get that list from the European AI products that came from those awesome EU regulations.
