The AI Gigafactories call is now open.

@HennaVirkkunen Oh dear god how incredibly dumb

Are the bribes really that good, or is your conscience just cheap?

[andre123@snowfan.it]

@HennaVirkkunen

This is a milestone for a climatic disaster. That's it.

Oh and of course more money for the billionaries.

[brokar@mastodon.social]

@HennaVirkkunen Everybody was talking about sovereignty for years and RIGHT NOW after the tides changed with the USA you want to make it real and pay ~5 times as much as it would have cost 2 years ago?
I know, i know, it's just tax payer money.

Why is it that always something has to happen first before anyone in office moves? Btw, we're still waiting (since 2018) for the daylight savings topic to be resolved. And that's not a difficult topic.

I really wish this would have happened earlier.

@robelix @HennaVirkkunen
Hoping that for Canada, too

[eobet@oldbytes.space]

@HennaVirkkunen so it's now apparent that you truly want to kill us all as quickly as possible.

@HennaVirkkunen April fools day in July?
AI is like oil: it will only burn Europe faster to the ground. Wrong move, terrible communication.
Maybe get out of your airconditioned bubble and go to Madrid and Bordeaux or any other burning part of Europe.

You won’t of course, you never listen, you don’t follow nobody here. You got payed to act like a fool.

[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?

[antigrav@mastodon.nz]

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

[andre123@snowfan.it]

@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.

[andre123@snowfan.it]

@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 ?

[hyperlinkyourheart@mastodon.ie]

@HennaVirkkunen booooooo

[earthtoneone@mstdn.social]

@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?
