@alextecplayz @EUCommission same in Austria. Nobody can tell you what’s required up front, so you just get fined when you “forgot” something.

@EUCommission here's a suggestion before spending a bazillion on "AI".

Make it (much) easier to start small businesses.

Like, €100 instead of €1000s, and a clearly defined list of paperwork, that can be processed at a single govt agency in under 1 hour, in 1 country.

Then, simplify the byzantine pan-EU tax arrangements so this small business can just pay tax once, instead of needing to spend €4000/year on accountant support, and filing in multiple countries.

And when you've achieved that marvel of bureaucratic enlightenment, by all means circle back and examine the detritus of whatever Yucatan-sized crater the US AI industry has imploded into, to see if anything of actual value can be forged from the slag.

@redsad somebody is going to have an awkward conversation with the insurers, and the erstwhile homeowners.

@joeress in all fairness this is the govt, not the fruity company. And yes, the future does not look rosy. It's rotten to the core.
