Apple products are leading edge. Imagine if they waited until Samsung makes the perfect phone , then copy it.

We re talking about european tech businesses being left behind, locked in a basement.

So you have a positive opinion when Apple does things after others, but Europe having a slower, cautious approach is treated as negative for you?

What is your preference for Europe, complete floodgates open and never ending lawsuits over IP theft like we have in the USA currently over AI?

The US is not the example of what’s working, it’s merely a demonstration of what is possible when you have limited, provoked regulation.

I said apple does not do that. Apple invented the smartphone before samsung or anyone.

There is no such thing as "slow" in business. If you re slow you go out of business, you re no longer a business.

There is only one AI race. There is no second round. If you stay out of the race, you will be forever indebted to the AI winner, in the same way that we are entirely dependent on US internet technology currently (and this very forum)

I feel fundamentally we are two different people with very different views on this, not sure we are going to agree on anything here to be honest.
