<![CDATA[Europe, the AI Continent.]]>Europe, the AI Continent.

One year ago, we launched the AI Continent Action Plan. Since then, we have made huge strides:

✅ 19 AI factories are now live across EU countries.
✅ We established the AI Skills Academy to train experts.
✅ The AI Omnibus is cutting costs for business.
✅ We have earmarked €1 billion to support AI adoption in industry.

We are building a secure and innovative AI future for Europe.

Here's how 👉 https://link.europa.eu/nj3VH9

Turning off all Big Tech solutions being used by all governments and vital infrastructure in Europe would have us descend into total chaos!

However, the EU Commission is apparently more concerned with FOMO in missing the race to the abyss with AI slop!

Our lived experiences differ. I run out of compute virtually every day in my work.
You will not find the tech useful if you do not use it.
Do you think there is a correlation there?

The Euros are working towards sovereign future

Imagine what you could have done if you had ignored a hype wave pushed by grifters and scammers and instead invested that money in things that will actually improve the economy and social wellbeing.

Take a stand on this nonsense. It's built on stolen work and hidden labour, it's burning up our already scarce resources at a terrifying rate, it's really really bad for people's brains and even if it worked (which it doesn't) it would put billions of people out of work in a really short timescale. Who's going to pay taxes then? How does society cope when you wipe out the incomes of a huge tranche of its working population and give them... nothing in return?

We don't need this stuff, and we're certainly not ready for it, even IF it worked.

I was going to say that I'm happy there doesn't seem to be a lot of budget earmarked for this, but billions are being pushed into the hype:

Let's hope those to be raised from the private sector but even then, the slashing of regulations is damaging all by itself.
