Yep, AI sovereignty shouldn't mean handing over control to foreign entities with better PR teams

  Isn't Norway a key NATO member and huge buyer of F35 jets and other key US tech? What should Norway do? Buy Chinese and Russian instead?

    What happened to Europe?
    • FirmwareBurner 1y ago
      What's the European alternative to the things OpenAI puts in their datacenters? What's the European alternative to Nvidia H100s and Quantum InfiniBand, AMD Epycs and Instincs, and Intel Xeons? In the past you had European companies like ST, Ericsson, Nokia and Siemens who could design cutting edge compute and networking chips of the time, but those days are long gone, with European companies have missed out on the hyperscale race being relucted to making commodity low margin products, so they either have to buy American or Chinese if they want cutting edge.

          What do they have to do with Europe?
          • ffsm8 1y ago
            You're right. I read the other day in a comment that they're headquartered in France, but never verified. It was my mistake.

    Europe produces no military jets, tanks, and other equipment?

      Europe is not NATO?

        Europe is not US.

        Most European nations are also NATO nations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO#/media/File:NATO_32_Members.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO#/media/F...

          Exactly.

    Seems like the EU has decided to pull away from the US. As has Canada and frankly, a lot of the rest of the world.
    • FirmwareBurner 1y ago
      Pulling away by investing billions in the US economy and buying more US products and services? You have a weird definition of pulling away.
      • esseph 1y ago
        If you review the stipulations of the "deals" and read any of the analysis, these are stop-gaps. New production commitments, military commitments, pulling away from US big tech. No matter what happens, the damage has been done. It's picking up momentum seemingly every day. And they seem more than happy to take our scientific researchers.

          >pulling away from US big tech Stock price says otherwise. Probably because replacing MS Office with Libre Office doesn't really mean much while still running your digital infrastructure on US services, US chips and US phones. Lemme know when EU creates its own You Tube. >And they seem more than happy to take our scientific researchers. Who's taking who's researchers? Got any examples. From what I saw Linus Torvalds is still in US.

He's an engineer, and that's also a group that economies need, but he's not a scientist, and not a researcher. Unfortunately for the "engineering" part: https://archive.ph/xChye https://archive.ph/xChye
