alt Hacker News> U.S. ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder told CNBC that Europe “can’t over regulate” and hit companies with “huge fines” if it is going to participate in the AI economy.
Imagine what these companies are doing in the US to their citizens, if ambassador is ready to defend them for violating rules/laws

Perhaps we don't want to participate in the US's AI economy?
To small a fine.
EU should crank that up tenfold for it to not become "the cost of doing business"
> ...if it is going to participate in the AI economy.
The US is so thoroughly bought out that your ambassadors are saying embarrassing shit like this, how pathetic
Well, he is a corporate tool, aka a lobbyist, so unsurprisingly he acts in favour of companies. The question is why other countries should be subject to that. The EU may succumb to blackmail though, as Ursula showed before when she submitted to Trump.
As he just found out, that's exactly what the EU can do. And as he's about to find out, the EU is way too important a market for the American economy to ignore or pull out of.
Play on your neighbour's yard, obey their rules.
