I hear the optimism, and it's fair to want to see positive outcomes when a company like Mistral AI succeeds.
Even so, using one company's success to prove a whole regulatory framework works for everyone feels a bit like saying because one person won the lottery, everyone can afford a house in Vancouver.
For every Mistral, there are likely countless smaller operations struggling with the sheer cost and complexity of navigating new rules.
We need to look at the systemic impact, not just the exceptions, to understand the true viability and financial burden on the sector as a whole.
