“The energy industry cannot be the reason China or Russia beats us in AI,” gawd

The signatories demand “quick and clear decisions under EU data regulations that enable European data to be used in AI training”. That’s the whole thing. It’s about trying to get the EU to let big companies scrape everyone’s data and work for their models. And they want the EU to sign off on it.

This letter goes explicitly against EU interests, it goes against the interests of EU citizens and everyone living in the EU. Nobody who cares about lofty “European Values” should sign this. Let Meta spend their own money on lobbying against AI regulation. Don’t be their gullible pawns.
