Zuck: “It’s sad that I basically have to tell our teams to launch our new AI advances everywhere except the EU at this point”

Douglas Adams wrote about the human tendency to introduce processes that make people feel empowered when in fact all they are is a kind of placebo, e.g. to help politicians cope with their overall powerlessness by actively making the lives of others less rich, protecting them from novelty and innovation:

Nick Clegg: We welcome the EDPB’s opinion on AI – but it’s frustrating that it has taken many months of unnecessary delay for regulators to approve the same legal mechanisms that the industry proposed at the start of this year. This slow motion decision making prevents Europeans from accessing the latest AI technology. We urge European regulators to quickly apply these principles in a pragmatic and transparent way so the EU can deliver the growth that leading European political figures are calling for. Mark Zuckerberg: It’s sad that I basically have to tell our teams to launch our new AI advances everywhere except the EU at this point.

And the curious fact is that the Shoe Shop Intensifier Ray mentioned mere seconds ago is, in actuality, a phoney – designed to make Dolmansaxlil Executives feel they’re doing something excitingly aggressive when, in fact, all they need to do is wait. The Shoe Event Horizon is now a firmly established and rather sad economic phenomenon, which in future times will be taught as part of the basic middle school “Life, the Universe, and Everything” syllabus.

The European Union has its own “shoe shop intensifier ray”, it’s called “regulation”.
