Europe is scaling up.

Over the past year, we have been working to further complete our Union👇

@EUCommission

To everyone posting #against #AI, including me, this stupid morons of the #EU do not care about what we say.

They care about how many more years they can keep stretching the planet for a few #euros. Specialy the right wing parties like the #european #popularparty. And the #ultra #rightwing ones.

The #left #parties are completely sleep and clueless. We do not see them opossing with enough strength to this #corrupt #madness.

@EUCommission

Yeah, you're scaling up by investing in more mass surveillance tech and AI detection which btw is actually outlawed according to the e-privacy directive. You're also dismantling the GDPR which basically destroys our cybersecurity and privacy and your reaction is just going to be "oopsy, we might have fucked up and we really didn't see it coming. Sorry lol 🤷‍♀️"

@EUCommission

Hi,

first step : forbid any Google/ Microsoft software in the institutions, governments, critical industry and schools.

And build an European software/hardware industry (OS, Software, communication, hardware, software, hardware etc. ), a real one, not a fake like you do actually. Without any American / Chinese strings.

And forbid to sell high value technology and companies to the US/ China.

Yes, that's the basis before spending billions on AI.

@EUCommission "An independent and secure Europe"?
In which Fantasy World are you people living?
At about nothing was and is being done to get out of our full dependency on MakroSof, AWS,Google, etc.....
But, we're spending billions to jump on the bandwagon of GenAI in a huge FOMO feeling with all the other lemmings running to the abyss of the bubble bursting.

Spend that money on EU integrity and sovereignty, our data and privacy secure in our own hands.
Support Open Source EU public options!

why are governments around the world jumping on the AI wagon, I find it astonishing they don't see how this will be as environmentally destructive as the fossil fuel industry--and create more red tape confusion that disrupts lives.

I'd rather like to see an investment to remove our dependency on software/companies/infrastructure from countries that are not reliable partners. An investment to our own infrastructure, that doesn't leak information overseas, and not a resource waster like "AI".

To me it seems AI is semi usefull for couple of scenarios.
1.) Science: proteine folding (do not give power and control to the pharmacy industries)
2.) editing, enchanging photos and videos, ripping past artist style and mixing it up unimaginally. (this should not be any priority to national funding but commercial entities in the graphics industries)
3.) Filling the shopt with royalty free elevator music, where soul and message has been replaced with statistic based catchy tunes.

@EUCommission Romania's RO AI factory powered by ICI Bucharest is already having a positive impact on the medical field powered by the EuroHPC initiative listed here (https://www.ici.ro/en/announcements/the-impact-of-ai-in-the-medical-field-practical-session/)

EDIT: maybe I was the one that didn't do more than 2 minutes of research 😅

EuroHPC which covers the AI factories and gigafactories is not exclusive to genAI, but the AI factories themselves are...

AI Factories are for developing and deploying mid-scale genAI, and they're just upgraded existing EuroHPC supercomputers, while AI Gigafactories are for the frontier models.

Still, I'd much rather have EU AI, even if the EU seems to be bending the knee to US-based AI initiatives...
