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.@HennaVirkkunen I believe that 30 billion Euro could be spent in much better cause when hundreds of thousands of EU citizens suffer the consequences of the climate crisis, rather than participating in a pointless technology arms race without any clear benefit.

@HennaVirkkunen it's good to see Europe investing in digital sovereignty.

@benroyce @paraw @HennaVirkkunen
Somewhat reminds of the fact that throughout history kings and the like often employed alchemists in order to discover how to turn lead into gold.Except that people at the time had more reason to believe that turning lead into gold should be possible than we have to believe that LLMs will achieve AGI... and the alchemy stuff ended up actually significantly expanding human knowledge.
So I guess people in the future will think us more foolish than alchemists.
@painting_squirrel @paraw @HennaVirkkunen
yeah
and at the end of the blossoming of real science from alchemy's superstitious foundations, we wound up actually turning lead into gold in a particle accelerator. at ridiculous cost and in infinitesimal quantities, but we did it
some massive computations persuasively mimicking human speech and human knowledge (dangerously, approximately) is as far from real intelligence as a goldfish. no insult to goldfish, they're smarter than AI

@HennaVirkkunen We should be investing in renewable energy and battery storage instead. AI adds little value for humankind, with significant downsides.
@remaster @HennaVirkkunen I disagree, 'ai' produces NO benefit for mankind.

@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu hi Henna, thanks for this post, but the subject at hand is terrifying.
Apparently there's 30 billion euro left over that can be invested in the housing crisis many countries have right now, but instead it is being used to create power-hungry, water-hungry datacenters for the purpose of... mass-scale copyright infringement and making knowledge a commodity to be sold.
Does that sound right to you? I know I wouldn't want to be responsible for doing this much damage to the world and the people trying to live in it.
Sovereignty yes, but definitely not at cost!@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu oh? I just checked the post on the remote instance and it seems my reply never arrived. Is my instance blocked??

@dwarf@borg.social @HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu Same here, but they don't publish what they block or why. There's also no contact information to inquire about such details or get connection issues resolved. It seems like they simply block instances that are too negative to our dear EU politicians' agendas. -
