worshipping massive corporations that dont care about you in any way is the most insane thing ever. Ai takes your job, causes tech prizes to skyrocket and makes electricity more expensive where the data centers are located. Raising corporate and 1% taxes would fix all problems US has but most people don't care to vote for people who would make it happen.
spoke to my dad the other day bout the KFC mans great great grandson releasing the original recipe for KFC chicken because he doesnt like the company and my dad replied “what a dickhead” talking bout the grandson
It's surely a generational thing. Being deeply influenced by the "work hard, play hard" work ethic, no digital awareness and decades of advertisements of corporations being your best buddy.
Pretty interesting how different that is from person to person and country to country.
exactly, father works for a multi millions corporation that operates worldwide, has done so since his early years, lost one of his fingers in a workplace accident and didnt use the opportunity for a payday out of loyalty to the company, has 30+ years worth of experience from store assistant to manager, but atm, barely getting paid enough to pay the bills, then is being fed thats its the immigrants fault he’s unable to afford to be comfortable meanwhile his big boss is known for his love of fast cars
someday i might talk to him about taking his experience to maybe a different company who would pay him but he’d lose his company car, his insurance, alot probably
As an ill disabled person, I totally agree with this. If people see someone of my ilk doing something fun, everyone turns on us, "because we haven't earnt it". It's ridiculous.
gen zrs see the donald trumps n the tates of the world, think to themselves “its a dog eat dog world” and dont realise they too are the dogs being eaten
Gen Z sees these types, and decides they are perfect role models to emulate. It is frustrating being the generation that's sandwiched between the Spiteful Boomers and the Hateful Zoomers. To borrow a joke that was popular on this sub:
What borders on stupidity? Millennials.
I say this a lot, but I truly believe Millennials were the last generation to actually have functioning brains.
To be fair though, companies absolutely love butchering quality and charging the same price (or higher) so the original recipe is probably just better anyway.
And the funniest thing ever is them raving about their productivity - worshipping a corporation is one thing, establishing your value as a human on your profitability for the corporation as a working drone is new level...
Thx for reminding me of that one. Just looked up their website, ofc they rebranded and throw out AI buzzwords like Raid does ads on yt, but when I used them in lockdown they were just like: "Look here, we made this neat translation service with machine learning. It can do a handful of languages, but those are very accurate and you can choose between suggestions. Btw, we also have reasonably priced professional license options."
It seems that their core philosophy is the same, just with an expanded language catalogue, but the marketing is annoying as shit.
I mean, of all the annoying aspects of the LLM bubble the obnoxious marketing of services involving machine learning is the least of concerns. At least DeepL is a solid, useful product.
A lot of people don't seem to realise they've been around for nearly 20 years. It was just a (very good) dictionary at first, which they steadily built out into a full translation engine over 10+ years.
You know, like a normal, sensibly-run business.
The Y*nk model is to throw $1bn at them to burn in an effort to get to the same place in two years, corner the market, then fuck everybody as hard as you can.
Not sure you can compete without doing the same. It's what the Chinese government does…
I wanted to say something about being glad that the EU isn't heavily investing in shit AI slopmachines but i guess they are
Good thing is, that
slopmachines
isn't necessarily true for the European products, as some of them are quite solid and they are marketed for their actual abilities, which is the reason why almost no-one heard of them - they don't try to sell you a bad parrot as the ultimate coming of god.
You just don’t get it bro. Ai is the future, like the metaverse or cryptocurrency or NFT’s or hoverboards. There’s no way this will flop 😎
/s
Edit: Love to see Ai bros getting worked up. Don’t worry, it’s not like developers have been caught pirating others works, have caused people to self harm or allow lonely people to seek deeper into loneliness by believing they have a connection with an “intelligent” being. They’re easy to manipulate, not free thinking and, in my opinion, cause more harm than good. Sorry for not wanting to defend a poor piece of hardware 🤷♂️
I've seen so many americans try to flex about Silicon Valley and how europe doesn't have such innovation but in practice almsot everything there is a failure that just get poached by smarter companies after the initial startups crash and burn
"You don't understand bro, Europe needs to build giant data centers the size of aircraft hangars to build LLM infrastructure! Sure, it will leave hundreds of thousands with frequent water shortages and power outages, but it's worth it for this new wave of technological progress!"
"What is this technology for?"
"Unprecedented economic growth in the future!"
"Ok, but what is it doing now?"
"Aggregating Reddit posts to summarize things, sometimes correctly."
"So basically SparkNotes, but worse?"
"Well, it can also quickly generate deepfake revenge porn of female celebrities and yellow-tinted pictures of suspiciously young-looking bikini-clad anime catgirls!"
Also don't forget that that anime catgirl is 100% plagiarized from thousands of unpaid artists, and by default it uses a list of very prominent and famous artists as its plagiarism source.
If i remember right the EU has mistral and a few smaller ones. Also as the other comment said, its mostly a waste of ressources and used to foster police states, so its not like need those
It's also worth mentioning that Mistral is weighing cross language vectors more heavily than any of the American ones meaning it's much easier to make it write great copy that doesn't sound like it's from a US parody marketing account.
I use both Gemini Pro and OpenAI for lots of stuff, but for copy they make me fiddle around with 5 or 6 agents to produce good enough output in non-american. With Mistral I get there with an editor and a critic.
Bragging as a peasant about a technology that can potentially lay you off from a job because stupid management loves cutting costs to get their mansions running is just makes me cry in laughter
I still don't get the hate on those bottle caps. I get that's not what that post is really about it's about the AI but those bottle caps are amazing, as a man with ADHD I no longer have flat pop because I've lost another lid
Sometimes they may be a little inconvenient, especially when cheaply made.
Said so, I'm glad to live in a Country where the problem that heats the public debate the most is "those bottle caps are hitting my nose" and not things like "I have diabetes, now I'll go bankrupt" or "if I say this they may send me to the frontline".
Honest question: are people really struggling with opening and closing a bottle with those caps? Like, I never had and my toddlers figured it out in less than a week but it might have to do with the type of bottle or something?
By the way, there was a news item this or last year about the environmental impact of these caps. They (VRT, Belgian national news) were at a beach cleanup and the volunteers said it was such a huge difference: a lot less caps and an entire dumped bottle is easier to spot and pick up.
I do struggle to recap the bottles sometimes, but at this point, it's just a minor annoyance that feels the same as my bus being 5 minutes late when I'm not in a hurry or my zipper getting caught on nearby fabric. It just happens sometimes, and I'll maybe complain about it a bit, try again and be fine. I wouldn't consider it a struggle overall. Opening has never been an issue for me.
I'm glad to hear it actually helps though. That's awesome.
With the bottled I use, I make an effort to lift the cap on top of the bottle and it always fits immediately. Perhaps it’s a technique that fits bottles from other countries as well?
So you're saying the US and China are implementing deepfake porn at the expense of massive power requirements while the EU did something to help the environment?
Wow if anyone needed proof as to why capitalism is bad just show them how USAians worship corporations that don't care for them more than their 'god' that they pledge allegiance to.
It actually IS a good way though! Lots of cleaning companies most notably the beach cleaning ones have far less trash and a bottle is far easier to spot than a cap.
It also helps in the Netherlands that we have a deposit on bottles and cans that you get back when returning the empty ones.
We've lost many hype trains to bull run, that's true. We also didn't crash the entire world economy in 2008 and we're certainly not going to be responsible for the next bubble crash.
Also, have fun using those IA without chips made in Taiwan with EU manufacturing machines.
Well they really shouldn't praise their "european roots, heritage etc...." then. Also just because ameiKKKans don't understand labour right, social services and humanity doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that they won't get it. You guys are abused and don't even know it and say you like the abuse if it helps the millionaires! You all are victims!
Why do they suck up to corporations so much. Yes the guy who made Meta is American. Well done. Do you have fair maternity pay yet? Sick leave? More than a weeks PTO? No?
Oh well. At least Zuckerberg is an AMERICAN billionaire
I'm pretty sure that a government can do multiple things at the same time. And also that the people responsible for the bottle caps (which was and is a good thing) are not the same people behind the EU's technological efforts.
Awww, isn't that cute! The Americans think their giant stock market pump'n'dump, artificially inflated tech bubble means their AI is better than anyone else's because it costs more.
I would much rather have unremovable bottle caps than having to pay an inflated electricity bill for a server farm that was built in my backyard without my consent
The thing on the right is annoying me slightly. The things on the left are turning our kids into non self sufficient smooth brains that don’t know how to acquire and process information if it isn’t spoon fed to them.
Eu is financing a huge data center to train AI at my university. And last year we got a fucking quantum computer. I don't mind it's being payed by my taxes, politicians around the world spend tax money on hookers and blow we atleast have nice things
though he glorifies the USA too much, it leads to one conclusion I can agree with.
The EU has way too much bureaucracy to keep up with modern day innovation and generally dynamic trends, though that's definitely not what the writer intended to say. Wasting time and resources on coming up with shit like those bottle caps is a peak I did not think would be reached.
"By the time the ship has sailed, the EU will create a commission to investigate the port" encapsulates the situation quite well I'd say
worshipping massive corporations that dont care about you in any way is the most insane thing ever. Ai takes your job, causes tech prizes to skyrocket and makes electricity more expensive where the data centers are located. Raising corporate and 1% taxes would fix all problems US has but most people don't care to vote for people who would make it happen.
spoke to my dad the other day bout the KFC mans great great grandson releasing the original recipe for KFC chicken because he doesnt like the company and my dad replied “what a dickhead” talking bout the grandson

I'm not American, but my grandpa is 92 and he still has the mentality of living to work. His work was his entire purpose, and it baffles me to end.
people like this make me so sad. how can you have no life or personality outside your job?
It's depressing.
It's American..
Nah, it's also ingrained here in Germany. The US doesn't have a monopoly on stupid... No matter how convincing their sales pitch.
My grandpa isn't.
They are the kind of people who usually die within 6 months of retiring.
That, or they immediately become senile
As an ill disabled person, I totally agree with this. If people see someone of my ilk doing something fun, everyone turns on us, "because we haven't earnt it". It's ridiculous.
Not just old people aka 'boomers', GenZ is very rightwing especially young men.
gen zrs see the donald trumps n the tates of the world, think to themselves “its a dog eat dog world” and dont realise they too are the dogs being eaten
Gen Z sees these types, and decides they are perfect role models to emulate. It is frustrating being the generation that's sandwiched between the Spiteful Boomers and the Hateful Zoomers. To borrow a joke that was popular on this sub:

The funny thing is it is pretty much guaranteed that KFC uses a different recipe today.
To be fair though, companies absolutely love butchering quality and charging the same price (or higher) so the original recipe is probably just better anyway.
Hell, even Colonel Sanders didn't like KFC the corporation.
Capitalism checks out, yep.
And the funniest thing ever is them raving about their productivity - worshipping a corporation is one thing, establishing your value as a human on your profitability for the corporation as a working drone is new level...
also, did you want water? cause you wont get it, the data center needs it first
USians patriotism at its finest.
I mean, just raising taxes wouldn't, there would still need to be at least semi competent government to use them.
I know. Local, state and federal levels need to be competent. That is impossible everywhere.
Add to that, you can just rip the lid off anyway. No-one is the boss of me! 😂
I also then recycle it anyway just to keep the universe on its toes.
Oh yes, we're SO JEALOUS of your economic bubble. Have fun eating mud after it bursts.
It can't burst. The government will carry it if it does. Well Trump will. He's bought and paid for
I love how US people cant see the social welfare corporations have in the US when something goes wrong lol
Also pretty sure Flux is also german
DeepL too
Thx for reminding me of that one. Just looked up their website, ofc they rebranded and throw out AI buzzwords like Raid does ads on yt, but when I used them in lockdown they were just like: "Look here, we made this neat translation service with machine learning. It can do a handful of languages, but those are very accurate and you can choose between suggestions. Btw, we also have reasonably priced professional license options."

I mean, of all the annoying aspects of the LLM bubble the obnoxious marketing of services involving machine learning is the least of concerns. At least DeepL is a solid, useful product.
of course, but the annoying marketing reminding you of the AI bubbles existence every second you spend online just makes everything a bit worse.
All of my Chinese teachers used DeepL. It's pretty damn accurate.
A lot of people don't seem to realise they've been around for nearly 20 years. It was just a (very good) dictionary at first, which they steadily built out into a full translation engine over 10+ years.
You know, like a normal, sensibly-run business.
The Y*nk model is to throw $1bn at them to burn in an effort to get to the same place in two years, corner the market, then fuck everybody as hard as you can.
Not sure you can compete without doing the same. It's what the Chinese government does…
DeepL is actually good though, unlike the other stuff in that meme
DeepL is fire tho
Add "blackforest.ai" - really intreresting in the field of image manipulation.
Oh, DeepL is German? Heavens I loooove that website. The first proper translator for Turkish to English to ever existed I swear. 😂😂
Okay but we're talking about americans, you think they know that other languages exist? Or that translators exist
Yes, its from Black Forest Labs, which name is a good hint that they are located in the Schwarzwald.
And the name of the Model: Flux schnell
Right. Dev and Pro are also used in English, but schnell is just german for fast
You mean Black Forest Labs? Amazing people think it’s probably named after the cake. SMH.
Whoa. You can make tables!? I can finally share my finacial reports in any comment section!
Edit
Spreadheet enthusiasts just collectively creamed their pants.

The US of A invented Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet application and only software that matters in the history of computing.

Excellent use of free will, dear redditor
It's only been possible for 20 years..
Reddit markup has been a thing since the very beginning.
Forgive me for not thinking to research all that is possible in the comment section upon discovering reddit.
How do you mention Germany and not mention DeepL? It's like the best translator available.
Lumo AI
Is luma a part of proton?
yes
Thank you, I might look into it. I'm already with proton mail so it might be interesting.
its a seperate plan from any other plans sich ad unlimited but you can use it with minor restrictions for free
Switzerland has another one Proton
My German Uni has it's own LLM too
Which one is it?
Mistral is pretty good imo
For Poland, also "Postomats" (?); instead of dropping it on your doorstep (unsafe), it's in a nice locker in your neighborhood waiting.
parcel lockers
And if they can't do that, they will take it to a secure drop off point, not just leave it lying around.
Im honestly shocked Americans are still leaving packages by the front door, when theft is as rampant as it is.
Well
I wanted to say something about being glad that the EU isn't heavily investing in shit AI slopmachines but i guess they are
uhh, great
Good thing is, that
isn't necessarily true for the European products, as some of them are quite solid and they are marketed for their actual abilities, which is the reason why almost no-one heard of them - they don't try to sell you a bad parrot as the ultimate coming of god.
To add Denmark are Pioneers in quantum computing
We have the geneva convention and the schengen area accord and a multi-national currency
Ngl I didn't even know Italy made two ai models
Also, some of the best in voice stuff, especially multi-lingual, are Kyutai and Gradium.
Kind of just makes me more alarmed to see this. We will all be fucked when the ai bubble bursts.
The issue between europe and the us is almost always the language barrier lmao. You don't hear about these because they're not english.
Not a god damn thing
Me when I flex wasting resources on un-profitable technology
Are you surprised? Especially coming from the subreddit of a stock that’s valued at 14% of what it was 4 years ago and is still falling?
You just don’t get it bro. Ai is the future, like the metaverse or cryptocurrency or NFT’s or hoverboards. There’s no way this will flop 😎
/s
Edit: Love to see Ai bros getting worked up. Don’t worry, it’s not like developers have been caught pirating others works, have caused people to self harm or allow lonely people to seek deeper into loneliness by believing they have a connection with an “intelligent” being. They’re easy to manipulate, not free thinking and, in my opinion, cause more harm than good. Sorry for not wanting to defend a poor piece of hardware 🤷♂️
But Nvdia is giving us billions to build data centres to host billions’ worth of Nvidia hardware, it’s a foolproof business plan!
Don't forget "Second Life" 😂
Second Life was a very successful project for its time. It walked, so VRchat could run.
Meta's Horizon: Worlds could, of course, do neither since the avatar don't have legs.
Second Life jogged so Metaverse coukd trip, fall and break its ankle.
Don't forget Segway 😅
While ridiculing waste reduction policies in the same meme.
Look FREEDOM means littering twice instead of just once
You forgot the economy crippling part
Yeah, deepseek can run on like a laptop and we're going to drain all our freshwater for this stupid shit.
Burning off enough water to hydrate a country is sooooo much more useful than design that keeps small plastic from polluting the world!
i dont give a fuck if it's profitable, it's dangerous and unethical
I've seen so many americans try to flex about Silicon Valley and how europe doesn't have such innovation but in practice almsot everything there is a failure that just get poached by smarter companies after the initial startups crash and burn
Beat me to it lmao. I'd also add that it's a dangerous technology in a multitude of ways.
"You don't understand bro, Europe needs to build giant data centers the size of aircraft hangars to build LLM infrastructure! Sure, it will leave hundreds of thousands with frequent water shortages and power outages, but it's worth it for this new wave of technological progress!"
"What is this technology for?"

"Aggregating Reddit posts to summarize things, sometimes correctly."
"So basically SparkNotes, but worse?"
"Well, it can also quickly generate deepfake revenge porn of female celebrities and yellow-tinted pictures of suspiciously young-looking bikini-clad anime catgirls!"
You had me at anime catgirls
What are those, any HQ images for reference?
Also don't forget that that anime catgirl is 100% plagiarized from thousands of unpaid artists, and by default it uses a list of very prominent and famous artists as its plagiarism source.
and your 14yo classmates !
Yet they use ASML chips..
And use ARM processor architecture -> UK
Made using the only machines capable of this from the Netherlands using the only optics capable of this from Germany
gegroet mede kaas eter,
ASML don’t make chips. They make lithography machines.
Which are required to make the chips. I can see why the mistake was made.
You are indeed correct.
If i remember right the EU has mistral and a few smaller ones. Also as the other comment said, its mostly a waste of ressources and used to foster police states, so its not like need those
The U.K. has DeepMind - a spectacularly successful AI company (in terms of tangible impact - literally Nobel Prize winning).
Edited to add: Just checked, and yeah, this is the only Nobel Prize awarded for any AI driven research or application.
This is a fantastic point in general, but also the UK isn't in the EU so it's not really a counterpoint here specifically unfortunately.
I hear you, however, DeepMind was founded waay before Brexit and the U.K. is still part of Europe, if not the EU.
And to be fair, the meme creator probably couldn’t find Europe on a map, much less draw the distinction between the EU and Europe.
Hey, the meme creator knows the country of EU very well. He's 14.23% Italian!
They probably think the UK left Europe, not the EU, as well.
Tbf as a Brit there's Brits that worryingly think that
Mistral is already owned by ASML just so they also have AI in their portfolio.
But yea EU stupid
It's also worth mentioning that Mistral is weighing cross language vectors more heavily than any of the American ones meaning it's much easier to make it write great copy that doesn't sound like it's from a US parody marketing account.
I use both Gemini Pro and OpenAI for lots of stuff, but for copy they make me fiddle around with 5 or 6 agents to produce good enough output in non-american. With Mistral I get there with an editor and a critic.
Very impressive American tech.

America in a nutshell
cringe europoors not sacrificing all fresh water and soil to baal. i meant ai.
0,1% of USians work on AI, but around 33% of all American tourists are too dumb for the EU bottlecap.
That is what I gathered from this post.
As an American, I love those bottle caps. Never have to worry about dropping it and it rolling under the sofa. I'll take those over AI.
Imagine getting dunked on for not creating horrid slop generators
Oh, so is EU now a country?
Of course, can't you smell the FREUDE? 🇪🇺
SCHÖNER
Götterfunken
Bragging as a peasant about a technology that can potentially lay you off from a job because stupid management loves cutting costs to get their mansions running is just makes me cry in laughter
I wonder how many of these virulently pro ai accounts are just bots set up to manufacture consent by making it look more popular than it is
Google Deepmind is a British company (that started in the EU)
I still don't get the hate on those bottle caps. I get that's not what that post is really about it's about the AI but those bottle caps are amazing, as a man with ADHD I no longer have flat pop because I've lost another lid
I know this is going to sound stupid, but I went to China this summer and it felt really strange when the bottle cap came off.
I was in the US and dropped a bottle lid and literally turned to my GF and said "this wouldn't have happened in Europe"
It was mostly a joke...
Sometimes they may be a little inconvenient, especially when cheaply made.
Said so, I'm glad to live in a Country where the problem that heats the public debate the most is "those bottle caps are hitting my nose" and not things like "I have diabetes, now I'll go bankrupt" or "if I say this they may send me to the frontline".
well the bottle caps affect everyone!
medical bankruptcy just my neighbor...see U in church!
Honest question: are people really struggling with opening and closing a bottle with those caps? Like, I never had and my toddlers figured it out in less than a week but it might have to do with the type of bottle or something?
By the way, there was a news item this or last year about the environmental impact of these caps. They (VRT, Belgian national news) were at a beach cleanup and the volunteers said it was such a huge difference: a lot less caps and an entire dumped bottle is easier to spot and pick up.

I'm glad to hear it actually helps though. That's awesome.
With the bottled I use, I make an effort to lift the cap on top of the bottle and it always fits immediately. Perhaps it’s a technique that fits bottles from other countries as well?
That depends on caps quality for me. Mostly no problem but sometimes the "tether" is so short You need to really push on the cap to open it
Ah. I have nit encountered such bottles yet so that might explain it.
Speaking of toddlers, one less choking hazard, no?
And as someone who's never lost a single one in his life I don't get the hate, either.
It's a very minor inconvience at most, if anything at all.
I think they are actually really useful especially while driving, no more caps disappearing somewhere under the seats.
Same here idk, I like to hear it pop when I open and crack. Then I can keep that bottle for the day. I have no ADHD though, but lose lids too.
How do you lose the lids?!
Exactly.
And in the really rare case I actually need them removed... I just do it. It's not like they are connected by a steel cable...
Takes a special kind of stupid to be proud of AI companies
It's funny they use an empty water bottle to denote Europe.
Because that's what Americans will have to deal with once the AI data centres have used up all the water.
Funny how they never mention the useful regulations introduced by the EU, like the worldwide adoption of USB-C charging ports or the GDPR
Because the lighting port is superior to the shitty usb-c port
/s
Yeah lets compare EU (not a country) to china and usa (countries) that makes sense.
Dear Americans: thanks to our bussiness killing regulations we forced Apple to use USB-C so you don't need 50 different chargers.
You are welcome.
So you're saying the US and China are implementing deepfake porn at the expense of massive power requirements while the EU did something to help the environment?
Nice one EU :)
For me the bottlecap has a better impact than all this AI shit.
Wow if anyone needed proof as to why capitalism is bad just show them how USAians worship corporations that don't care for them more than their 'god' that they pledge allegiance to.
Killing the environment x3 Killing the environment Making an effort (albeit not in a good way)
Northern europe and Croatia adopting the Pfand system: "Look, it works since 25 years!"
Southern europen durring EU vote: "Ehhmmm, i would like to counter this idea with just atatching the bottle caps."
Spain and Portugal 3 years later: "Actually, i changed my mind."
It actually IS a good way though! Lots of cleaning companies most notably the beach cleaning ones have far less trash and a bottle is far easier to spot than a cap. It also helps in the Netherlands that we have a deposit on bottles and cans that you get back when returning the empty ones.
We've lost many hype trains to bull run, that's true. We also didn't crash the entire world economy in 2008 and we're certainly not going to be responsible for the next bubble crash.
Also, have fun using those IA without chips made in Taiwan with EU manufacturing machines.

Out of many things to laugh at EU they chose this.... complete lack of imagination.
Yep and all AI uses computer chips, and how do we produce those chips with machines made in......... The EU
crazy how they put dogshit models in USA (sorry grok)
Well they really shouldn't praise their "european roots, heritage etc...." then. Also just because ameiKKKans don't understand labour right, social services and humanity doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that they won't get it. You guys are abused and don't even know it and say you like the abuse if it helps the millionaires! You all are victims!
Why do they suck up to corporations so much. Yes the guy who made Meta is American. Well done. Do you have fair maternity pay yet? Sick leave? More than a weeks PTO? No?
Oh well. At least Zuckerberg is an AMERICAN billionaire
ASML, the company that makes the machines that make the chips. And their supply chain. Mostly EU.
And who makes the state of the art manufacturing equipment the Fabs use to make the chips that run it all?
Oh right.
The Dutch company ASML.
US is that dragon on our right.
That's great, now can we compare the benefits the average citizen sees in those three countries?
Futur humans will think the exact opposite (and by "future" I mean 10 years not a century).
Like they could all benefit from the billions a few will make
I'm pretty sure that a government can do multiple things at the same time. And also that the people responsible for the bottle caps (which was and is a good thing) are not the same people behind the EU's technological efforts.
Do we wanna ask the question how many people working in the ML/AI part of these 'american' companys are from the EU vs. US?
Completely seperate from the point that companys like DeepMind were bought not founded 😅
what 🤦♀️😭
Mistral?
Well regarding AI investments this is very true
Like meta ai was anything other than a useless annoyance in messenger
This guy clearly doesn't know shit about European industry because we have a lot of tech along with AIs. He probably just wanted to shit on the EU.
Who does the US think have made those AI models? How many foreigners has it taken?
Awww, isn't that cute! The Americans think their giant stock market pump'n'dump, artificially inflated tech bubble means their AI is better than anyone else's because it costs more.
"We're the best at enslavimg oursleves"
To be fair as an Australian I find those EU water bottles absolutely terrible.
EU: does annoying (until you get used to it in like 5 minutes) thing to reduce plastic waste.
USA & China: give us infinite amounts of soulles AI slop everyone is annoyed of at this point.
We are truly not the same.
This EU bashing is so exhausting
DeepL and mistralAI (LeChat) were the first thing that immediately came to mind.
Funny how this is "EU in a nutshell" when the design was developed by Coca Cola
You would expect the people from "the greatest nation ever" to know how to open the cap of a water bottle...
They have a sex offender in the white house. I think that Trumps any of this
I would much rather have unremovable bottle caps than having to pay an inflated electricity bill for a server farm that was built in my backyard without my consent
The thing on the right is annoying me slightly. The things on the left are turning our kids into non self sufficient smooth brains that don’t know how to acquire and process information if it isn’t spoon fed to them.
Eu is financing a huge data center to train AI at my university. And last year we got a fucking quantum computer. I don't mind it's being payed by my taxes, politicians around the world spend tax money on hookers and blow we atleast have nice things
though he glorifies the USA too much, it leads to one conclusion I can agree with.
The EU has way too much bureaucracy to keep up with modern day innovation and generally dynamic trends, though that's definitely not what the writer intended to say. Wasting time and resources on coming up with shit like those bottle caps is a peak I did not think would be reached.
"By the time the ship has sailed, the EU will create a commission to investigate the port" encapsulates the situation quite well I'd say
Don’t tell them that majority of the compute/chips production in the world depends on 2 EU companies.
China has the electrical capacity to sustain the AI demand.
The EU won't compromise their infrastructure when the AI bubble explodes.
The US will definitely be cooked when the AI bubble explodes.
I love having no working rights, employment rights or defence against over reaching managers! America is so cool
Tbh, the bottle caps sticking to the bottle is lowkey chill. Like otherwise i need to hold that cap with my other hand.
I'm sorry, are they trying to say that AI is good? Or something? I hate these stupid bottle caps too but they're not NEARLY as bad as AI
i guess france is not from europe (mistral, hugging face)
