> We don't need "watchdogs" "protecting" us from stuff we want to do ourselves. I fully agree. But do Europeans in general? Where I am (Sweden) the whole point

  That's actually the sad message being conveyed by this, right? "You are so dumb, you need to be protected by the state doing stupid things with your data."

    And I get it and usually agree. Some things are dangerous, like toxic materials I don't know about and cannot know about. I expect some agency to protect me, because in this domain I am too stupid. Oh wait.. the whole world is not a developer. I can definitely see how some people need protection here. Even developers are inputting sensitive code and info about their work. Weird times.

      The difference is that no reasonable person wants to eat poison, but it’s completely rational to want to use OpenAI’s models on the terms they are offered.

        True, but my point was directed towards toxins I cannot know about. Chemicals added to food and medicines and such. There is loads I - as a layperson - cannot know about safety. My guess is the same is true for "internet stuff". Something we are intimitately aware of, but we are a minority (and we still mess up).

      > Some things are dangerous, like toxic materials I don't know about and cannot know about. You don't need regulation for companies to tell you that a product contains a harmful substance. You just need a functioning legal system.
