I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

So remake the entire thing.

If they did something the wrong way, being hard to change or redo doesn't mean they get a free pass to keep doing it wrong.

If that's what the law requires then the AI companies will just move somewhere else and that jurisdiction will miss out on the next industrial revolution.

I'm fine with that if the cost of it would be loss of privacy. I think there's some situations where an invasion of privacy can be justified, such as legitimately trying to find online pedos.

But giving up my privacy to a corporation in an irreversible way so they can make millions? Absolutely not.
