The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

[gneilyo@mastodon.online]

@HennaVirkkunen What an incredibly misguided and tone-deaf development. I trust these will be situated far from where you live?

[zoidbergforpresident@kolektiva.social]

@HennaVirkkunen You are fucking criminals, we'll get around to stopping you, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day, your sorry liberal ass will have to pay for this.

[darkathena@beige.party]

@HennaVirkkunen You would not be pleased. You’re destroying the planet.

@HennaVirkkunen I didn't know that one can buy the required graphics cards for European "AI Gigafactories" from a company other than Nvidia. (That was sarcasm.)

When you will necessarily pump millions/billions of Euros into Nvidia who will then use that money for accounting fraud, how does being entirely dependent on Nvidia (an US-American company) strengthen Europe's technological sovereignty?

@HennaVirkkunen , there must be better ways to waste money!

@davidculley @HennaVirkkunen

I think... what was the name in english....vassalage ?
EU must sometimes get confused and consider it synonymous to sovereignty....

[davidculley@hachyderm.io]

@andre123 Maybe Jensen Huang promised @HennaVirkkunen a million or two if she steals billions from European taxpayers and funnels them into his coffers.

@davidculley @HennaVirkkunen

Big Tech delenda est.

Or else EU risks to be burning every time it's summer.... but you know....we want to be an AI continent...‍️ (a burning AI continent).
At least It will make money for the stock markets and for.... what was the name again....lobbies ?

@HennaVirkkunen booooooo

@HennaVirkkunen This post will not age well.

[simpleanecdote@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen It might be helpful to actually say what kind of "AI" we are chasing here with a drop in the ocean in terms of investment and 15 years too late. By looking at the link posted it seems mainly geared for LLMs - which is just stupid. Even if it were worthwhile tech, which it isn't, EU strong governance isn't conducive to "steal first, ask forgiveness later" mentality LLMs are built on.
Also please consider your language. "Factories" for no manufacturing. "AI" for no intelligence...

Why do you want to burn up the planet and dry up all the drinkable water? What is WRONG with you?

@HennaVirkkunen

American here

I like to think of Europe as having some immunity to the crass plutocrat techbro bubble that is destroying my country

You're ruining my impression

Judging by the reactions to your post, maybe you want leave Europe and move here to shill climate destroying trendy nonsense?

I don't think you'll take me up on the offer. It probably bothers you. And it should

Think about why the idea of moving to the USA bothers you

And then think about what you're representing

@HennaVirkkunen
Build an uncommercial search engine with AI Features that actually work without hallucinating. just building data centers feels a bit like "take our money so the Jobs stay in europe"

How about building for the people and not for the industry
