Why would it have to be mediocre? Both Netherlands and Sweden produce highly competent researchers. Per capita on par with any other location on the planet, including California. This will be good for Europe as a whole and also the planet.

Sure, but there is still a more dense talent pool with SV companies, and training frontier models requires massive amounts of capital. Are Netherlands and Sweden prepared to invest 10s of billions?

  Honestly I have a strong suspicion that “the talent pool” will shift towards Europe and China and I believe it’s already happening. And yes, I do believe Europe will invest in this technology.

  My impression is the talent pool for core model development in SV isn't huge and is already grabbed by the usual suspects. Everyone else sloshing in the vague broader AIsphere are application bros whose value in the supply chain is minimal.

  I don’t think it’s good that the USA has so much influence due to their dominance in information technology. It was only nominally democratic, now it’s a total shit show.

    >total shit show Are there people legitimately brain-rotted such that they believe stuff like this? Outside of the constant flow of "hey guys, look at the latest dumb thing Trump did" coming from entertainment outfits posing as news, what are we even talking about? Life goes on as normal for the Americans. You are way too online.

      Yes, the current administration has been in power for less than two years so obviously the “day to day life” hasn’t changed much for the average American (except everything has gotten more expensive). The US is no longer looked at as a superpower, it just surrendered to a regional power and will pay $300B USD in tribute. But for Trump and his cronies life certainly has improved. But the damage is done and we are witnessing the decline and destruction of the worlds greatest Empire of all time.

        The us stopped being looked at as a superpower as a brain rotted Alzheimer’s patients president rose to power on the campaign “don’t let Trump win” and then did little productive except stoke wars and pardon his son and his friends from crimes.

Producing local researchers isn’t enough. If you want a competitive model you need to bring the best researchers from all over the world. That means lots of investment that hasn’t been common in Europe.
