If you value "the opportunity to teach" more than the software produced you're just playing with blocks.

Yes, and you'll notice india has been pretty lackadaisical in cracking down on scam call centers.

Bad strawman, worse reasoning. Obviously if the benefits of the regulation outweigh the cost then it's worth it.

In this case the vast majority of the benefit accrues to non-germans (because the German population is small and few Germans profit from copyrighted music) but the loss will accrue only to Germans (since they can't use Suno).

> The conservative CDU is responsible for the decommissioning of nuclear plants

This is a lie.

The atomaustieg was decided by the SPD+Green coalition in 1998 as a condition for the Green joining Schroeders coalition.

The CDU actually reversed course just before Fukushima but unfortunately Merkel then undid that to try to win voters away from the greens by joining the fearmongering post-fukushima.

> the Greens extended the lifetime of the remaining plants

By 3 months, under enormous pressure from all sides during the worst energy crisis in postwar german history when they could have reversed course or extended them longer. You don't get much credit for this.

This was inarguably one of the greatest political mistakes of the 21st century so far and the blame is squarely on the Green party and their voters. The real propaganda is you trying to deflect it into the CDU.

Yes, so let's think long term. How do we keep it rolling? Perhaps we will need to continue to advance our technology, especially moving industries to space where there is no ecosphere.

We're doing extremely well compared to an unimaginably long period of pre-industrialization.

It introduces no issues for space travel. And what exactly do you want to happen here? LEO to stay empty because no one else is able to fill it and for spacex to not to try to expand because the regulatory process isn't perfect according to your standards?

Well the only thing that has ever solved starvation is improved technology, child abuse I think has nothing to do with satellites, and managing climate change requires massive energy and technology resources especially in space.

So clearly you are in favor of starvation and human suffering due to climate change because of your irrational distaste for seeing satellites in orbit.

I suspect the root cause is you've overdosed on propaganda on the internet.

1. That's not true. 2. It's not "at will" if you actually read the article you're commenting under you'd see it is about them _applying for a license_ to do something.

Correct, they can choose not to buy an iphone. Also, in this case, the EU regulations are undermining privacy.

OpenAI pulling out investment after their local partner fails to meet milestones is a scam?

You'd have a point if Germany did anything to actually support businesses scaling instead of trying to kneecap them at every turn
