The fundamental problem is that the EU's regulatory bodies do not understand technology. Regulation in the EU has turned into a bona-fide industry, and it's a massive train of the blind leading the blind.

Whether it's with Article 45 trying to break PKI [1], or with the AI Act trying to regulate the transformer model itself [2], or with ChatControl trying to surveil everyone, EU regulation is clearly a clownshow at this point where you get cheered on as long as you propose some regulation, any regulation!
