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 No, are you kidding me?
Our continent is on fire, drinking water is scarce, and you propose to have more useless data centers?

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen what a waste of resources and land. France and Spain are on fire. Isn't it enough for politicians to stop and think about our future?

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen Give it a few years to see if it's real, first, eh? - you wouldn't want to end up blowing vast quantities of public money on something like blockchain or NFTs, now, would you.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen Kuinka paljon voitelurahaa "tekoäly* firmat ovat syytäneet sinulle?
Olisi edes joku ymmärrettävä syy olla aiheesta iloinen. Täysin moraaliton, mutta edes syy.
Koska vaihtoehto on että olet muuten vain nielaissut kaiken varastaneen, keskinkertaista paskaa tuottavan, elämää tuhoavan teknologian myyntipuheet.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.Using that funding to build resilience to the European power grid, ability to combat wild fires, and sustainable help against heat waves will drive much more wellbeing and competitiveness than a late me-too move on what the future will judge as a fascist power move against democracies.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen I see my opinion is already shared in detail. But I still want to say what a terrible, mindblowing stupid idea this is, in case it's not clear enough.

Whoever has a lack of drinking water. This politician is to blame.
And when there is a scarcity - they have already used up their allocation several times over. -
@HennaVirkkunen I hope you will consider how strongly represented people in computing is here on Mastodon and how many negative reactions you're getting for this call. The two might be related.
@malte @HennaVirkkunen Unfortunately, this account so far is for posting only (but good to have it nevertheless!).
If you want to provide (polite) feedback, their office was responsive over email, probably would be similar with phonecalls. -

This is amazingly stupid. The bubble is showing signs of popping the hardest of any bubble ever, and the money is urgently needed for things that don't destroy the planet.Put that funding in solar, wind, grid batteries and new long distance power lines.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen This absolutely the wrong thing to be doing, building centres for the thief of human intelligence, and human races critical resource - water... A.I is a grift, a nonsense engine, humanity is infinitely better in every conceivable way without it.
The fact the EU is celebrating this is an utterly psychotic move - may your path to realising these monstrosities be harder than the search for another habitable planet after we've destroyed the Earth through these follies!

If you're not able to read these articles, maybe some staff members could. But of course you have to listen them rather than lobbyists...
Could I please see the risk analysis on which this decision has been made?

@HennaVirkkunen I'm openning the call for the AI Gigafactories to fuck right off.
- LLM is a technological deadend,
- LLMs are built in deeply immoral and largely illegal manner with stealing peoples work without their consent,
- It's elitist, closing that stolen knowledge behind subscription that poorer people won't be able to pay,
- Those gigafactories gussle up an ungodly amount of energy that should be used by the people, moving the goalpost of only ecological energy production further away,
- Calling them gigafactories is the biggest lie since they provide only a really small amount of work places for highly trained people.
- What are the chances that those gigafactories will be used in some degree by companies that use technology to support palestinian genocide? I guess high.@astromateusz @HennaVirkkunen And they don't even really produce anything useful.

This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.@HennaVirkkunen Have you noticed that large chunks of Europe are on fire at the moment? Not sure €30 billion worth of massively carbon emitting kit is going to help.
