The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

@HennaVirkkunen What an absolutely horrendous thing to be pleased about. "AI" is worse than CFCs, tetraethyl lead, and thalidomide combined. The pro-AI crowd all sound like drug addicts and cultists when they aren't obvious grifters, racists, and fascists. It's awful for the environment, causes what amounts to brain damage in its users, it relies on stolen works, and is extraordinarily damaging to society as a whole. Why in the hell would you want to invest in such an insane venture?
@StarkRG @HennaVirkkunen amazingly succinct summary (bookmarked), only missing asbestos in the comparisons.

The AI Gigafactories call is now open.
Today, we launched a call for tenders to establish up to 7 AI Gigafactories across Europe, boosting Europe’s computing capacity and unlocking more than €30 billion in investment.
I am pleased to see Member States, industry, and the Commission coming together to build these facilities, which are key to strengthening our technological sovereignty.
This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.Let's hope you, your family and every corrupted croock approving this will be affected by floods, fires and whatever the planet throws. Like is happening in Spain and France.
Because you keep increasing the global temperature, installing this useless and needless monsters.
Created to feed the stupid #AI, and the ctiminal #AISlop business that stole the works hundreds of thousands of artists, writers, musicians and filmmakers. Inducing vulnerable people into suicide.
You are quite happy making investments with european money, that you do not earn, to support the business of corrupt politicians like you, criminals, scammers and FOREIGN smoke sellers. Because the AI companies are not European.
You should stop this, and swiftly resign. And be taken to court for fund mishandling.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen I can imagine we want some investments in this area, but invest wisely and forward thinking. Don’t expect miracles by throwing money. Latest insights indicate that smaller models can be very effective. And please consider the environment, the main challenge that we have!

this decision will take money away from climate action and social services and it will lead to the death of many people (heat waves, wild fires...) and to the destruction of the environment and its natural resources in the whole continent. EU is making the worst choices and the people (as always) will pay the consequences. Shame on you and the European Commission. -

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen You and the EU are set to enlarge US Big Tech’s power at the expense of EUs own autonomy, climate, environment and democracy.
If you haven't noticed the world is burning and dirty data centres is absolutely not what humans need now.
-
So, just to confirm: you observed the US become dominated by billionaires and exploitative companies who are throwing trillions or dollars at technology that provides marginal (at best) benefits to society and entrenches their power, and your reaction was 'the EU should do that too!'?
For comparison, the amount that you're burning on this is more than twice as much as you'd need for the EU to build a competitive range of memory-safe sovereign CPUs from microcontroller up to server class devices and port most open-source software to run on them. This would reduce the attack surface for all EU infrastructure significantly and provide strong sovereignty guarantees.
Can you share how you did a cost-benefit calculation and decided that chasing a big-tech fad was the best return on investment for the bloc?
@david_chisnall @HennaVirkkunen
on the other hand, 30 billion , over a few years, for capex, is not that much money for the EU
right ?and IF you accept that machine learning is AI, THEN alpha fold is a clear example of great benefit to society
also, I think it is true that for the last 200 years, *every new promising tech, canals, railroads, etc, has seen a huge boom bust in CAPEX

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen can we at least wait with GPU shopping until the bubble bursts? and can you start with building PV+storage+grid *first* for some future datacenters instead of more fossil gas like the US is doing it

@digitaleu
@EUCommissionWhat are our options as member countries and as citizens to prevent more of these datacenters from being built?
Can we opt out of having our data and identities processed by datacenters?
What is the commission and European parliament doing to protect us from the harmful effects of datacenters, including:
- Air pollution, associated with illness and climate change;
- Water pollution and heat dumping;
- Noise pollution and quakes;
- Using improportonate amounts of electricity from the common power grid and driving up electricity prices for everyone;
- Supplementing their electricity with polluting diesel and fossil gas powered generators;
- Using improportonate volumes of municipal water, especially during heat waves in which our governments are restricting water for personal use?
Thank you and have a nice day.

Stop feeding trees, water and electricity the natural world to an economic lie thats going to crash.Take care of the people and planet and their needs instead of the bigtech bros.
It isnt very hard to see the road you are taking is going nowhere.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.Right, so we don't have enough water to cool our existing nuclear power plants or irrigate fields that produce our food, so I'm sure this is a brilliant idea!
Just make sure to put them somewhere out of reach from the fires. (We are probably running out of water to fight those effectively too, but as long as we can create AI slop, we'll be fine?)
Please reconsider, @HennaVirkkunen - the value really isn't there.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @HennaVirkkunen
It's not a huge amount in comparison to the total budget, it's an enormous amount in comparison to most other individual projects that the EU is investing in.
