I'm always boggled by the logic of thinking that somehow having big companies going around doing harmful actions to people is "good for the economy" or "keeps us competitive". If having strict AI regulations means AI companies leave Europe, that's good! I wish we could do the same and get them to leave the US. These big AI companies are bad. We shouldn't want them, we shouldn't try to attract them, we shouldn't provide any conciliations or incentives. The sooner and more completely they're eradicated from any jurisdiction, the better. Forcing that kind of toxic waste out of your country should be perceived as a win.

What harmful actions?

Tech layoffs and electricity price increases are pretty harmful even if legal and non-violent.

Theft of creative work, brain rot, intrusive enshittifiying of all manner of software, spreading misinformation, perpetuating biases, concentrating wealth, sucking up energy. . . I could go on and on and on. The list of negative effects is endless.
