This US administration (or any admin) would almost certainly impose export controls on US AI technology before it would allow one of the frontier model providers to be acquired/relocate outside the US. It did the same thing when ASML wanted to acquire Cymer (California company that provides the EUV light source technology). The acquisition was only allowed under strict technology sharing/export agreements with the Dutch government.
Europe really just needs to rally behind Mistral. That's where they should dump their cash.
- ivan_gammel 8mo agoHaving one „champion“ is flawed European approach. We need local competition and headhunting to make it fly.
- azinman2 8mo agoHard to compete in an environment that’s anti-996 and the pay is so much less.
- ivan_gammel 8mo agoYes. 996 is for lazy people.
- dvdkon 8mo agoDo you consider high working hours to be a benefit akin to higher pay? I think fewer hours and less money is a fair deal for employees.
- azinman2 8mo agoFair deal for the employees but hard to compete against smart, well resourced people who are working 996. Everything with AI is moving so fast that moving slower makes you irrelevant.

What happens if they all just happened to get hired by "AnthropicEU GmbH" a new entity which has been gifted hundreds of millions in computing resources?
