- GaggiX 11mo agoLondon is not part of Europe anymore since Brexit /s
- ot 11mo agoIs it so hard for people to understand that Europe is a continent, EU is a federation of European countries, and the two are not the same?
- GaggiX 11mo agoI think you missed the joke
- usrnm 11mo agoEurope isn't even a continent and has no real definition (none that would make any sense, anyway), so the whole thing is confusing by design
- lostmsu 11mo agoIsn't London on an island, mr. Pedantic?
- TulliusCicero 11mo agoSo I guess Japan isn't Asian then?
- layer8 11mo agoWhile Japan is part of Asia, and Asia is a continent, Japan is also separated from the Asian continent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Japan#Location https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Japan#Location
- lostmsu 11mo agoWhat's more interesting is that the comment you are replying to mistakenly asked me instead of asking the parent.
- denysvitali 11mo agoI honestly think it is. The amount of people who thinks Europe and EU are the same thing is really concerning. And no, it's not only americans. I keep hearing this thing from people living in Europe as well (or better, in the EU). I also very often hear phrases like "Switzerland is not in Europe" to indicate that the country is not part of the European Union.
- MadDemon 11mo agoSwitzerland has such close ties to the EU that I would consider them half in.
- tmoravec 11mo agoDrifted to the Caribbean.
- p2detar 11mo agoThat's ok. How could they know that there are companies like Aleph Alpha, Helsing or the famous DeepL. European companies are not that vocal, but that doesn't mean they aren't making progress in the field. edit: typos
- Glemkloksdjf 11mo agoThats not the point. Deepmind is not an UK company, its google aka US. Mistral is a real EU based company.
- gishh 11mo agoUsing US VC dollars. Where their desks are isn’t really important.
- vintermann 11mo agoCurrency is interchangeable. Location might not be.
- data-ottawa 11mo agoIncreasingly where the desks and servers are is critical. The cloud act and the current US administration doing things like sanctioning the ICC demonstrate why the locations of those desks is important.
- cycomanic 11mo agoThat's such a silly argument. X, OpenAI and others have large Saudi investments. In the grant scheme of things the US is largely indebted to China and Japan.
- Glemkloksdjf 11mo agoAn EU Company pays taxes in EU, has a EU mindset (worker laws etc.), focuses more on EU than other countries. And an EU company can't be forced by the US Gov to hand over data.
- colesantiago 11mo agoDeepmind doesn't exist anymore. Google DeepMind does exist.
