November 7th, 2025. Brussels.
9:00 AM. A bureaucrat spills his coffee.
And by 17:43 the same day, the most ambitious tech regulation in European history effectively collapses into a PDF no one wants to talk about.
In this episode, Malcolm tells the full unfiltered story of the EU AI Act — a four-year political labyrinth filled with 3,000 amendments, endless committees, lobbyists, geopolitics, and a shocking final sequence where the United States forces Europe to hit a “full regulatory pause.”
This isn’t a legal analysis.
It’s a political thriller.
A comedy.
A tragedy.
And a case study of how Europe went from leading global tech regulation to accidentally kneecapping its own innovation ecosystem.
You’ll learn:
And — most importantly — what your company should actually do next.
Because while Brussels was dancing the Bureaucrat Tango, the rest of the world kept building.
If you want a brutally honest, geopolitical, slightly comedic breakdown of why the EU just lost its regulatory crown, this is the episode.
