    Europe’s gonna cut itself off from AI and miss this tech boom. At least they still have internal combustion cars, until China eats their lunch.

    They break their own procurement laws to pick MSFT as well, they dont even abide by their own bureaucracy.

      Not all AI is equal. Europe does embrace certain types of AI depending on their production and usage. I work at a company pushing our AI throughout Europe, and the reception is generally very positive.

      These LLMs are just shit built in shitty ways. Their problem definition is shit, and the marketing of what they can do effectively is bullshit. There are some LLM efforts that are less shitty, but they’re not very popular yet

      How much months was this again, since they would have needed multiple times the internet in data amounts, just to have some progress? Sorry, but it’s a bubble.

      Edit: AI being LLM, like @TheBeege said.

      Meta’s recent LLAMA models are a disaster and worse they only masquerade as open models. Meanwhile Europe has it’s own AI research centers like Mistral who make really good models under the Apache 2 license.

      Surely there is a middle ground from bending over for technogarchy and not having as wealthy an economy?
