> Maybe I'm cynical, but what I'm wondering is which country's regulation led to Apple being forced to do this

Not Europe, that’s for sure.

Most likely American “regulation” via cutthroat capitalism and attempt to copy WeChat’s success.

> I don't want Europe to become more like the US.

Well, we will see. Seems to be happening anyway. Best of luck

>I don't want EU to fall behind further in the AI race

Buddy, EU didn’t even sign up for the race

> AI tends to be overly-positive, so either AI might congratulate you on your kill streak.

Nice

> Hopefully as a society we can also learn the lesson that tech companies cannot be trusted to deliver what's best for us.

If society were ignorant, then it’s forgivable. But society is not ignorant.

We know tech companies deliver things bad for us (lies and manipulation).

And we knowingly choose it, over the good (truth).

> Not universally though, the local skate park and sports fields see plenty of activity.

Sure if “at least one match” means activity.

Back in the day, you couldn’t find parking for several blocks radius around every public sports field.

>Queens, NY has entered the chat…

You’re correct, but at least LaGuardia airport generally has takeoffs over water.

LaGuardia aircraft landings may happen over dense apartment buildings, but less likely for catastrophic damage (glide path, less fuel, engines are <10% throttle, etc)

> Why do you think companies would prefer to make less profit here?

Because if you make too much profit, you get regulated by government.
