In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch. In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG. Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions: First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate. Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work. Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

This is great news for Europe 28th regime means a virtual state where companies can register The details approved are a bit unclear, but I hope it will include actual taxes and regulation too that fully override the national taxes and regulation for companies and staff hired That would create a super attractive place to start and run startups similar to Delaware (or now increasingly Texas), the UK, and Singapore And you don't have to change anything on a national level per EU country, it exists besides it, but does compete with it but from a blank slate 👏


Ursula von der Leyen just *officially* announced at Davos: The 28th regime will be called EU–INC! WE WON.

🇪🇺 So good to see the world wake up to the terrors of the European Commission I hope all the attention helps European people via their country's governments force the European Union to reform and redesign its structure to one that's actually democratic No indirect appointment of corrupt cronies but actual democracy close to the people It also makes no sense to have 720 members of the European Parliament, it's simply too much and makes it too inefficient The real cancer rotting the EU from within though is the European Commission which should be disbanded and replaced with a democratic body FYI the European Commission consists of 32,000 paid civil servants and all it does it create laws that nobody agrees with Europeans, you should keep posting about the terrors of the European Commission and vote parties into power in your country that can put real pressure on the EU to change and reform


🇪🇺 EU moves forward with the controversial “chat control” law EU member states have agreed on amendments to the so-called chat control regulation, clearing the way for final negotiations with the European Parliament. Critics warn this could expand mass scanning of online communications and tighten state control over internet users. The proposal is officially aimed at combating child sexual abuse online. It obliges digital platforms to assess risks, improve reporting tools, strengthen child privacy settings, and remove or block illegal content when required by authorities. One of the most contentious points, mandatory scanning of private messages, was removed. However, companies will still be allowed to continue voluntary mass scanning, and the current exemption enabling it will be extended beyond 2026. Critics say this means intrusive surveillance will continue.


@levelsio FYI: Point 7 is scheduled to be implemented in NL. ondernemersplein.overheid.nl/lagere-belasti…


My hope is, they repeal all of Thierry's evil work now he's gone: - Repeal the DMA (aka Annoy Europeans Act) - Repeal theDSA (aka the EU Censorship Act) - Repeal the AI Act (aka the EU AI Ban)


Freedom won today! 🚫 No ChatControl in EU Now keep this snooping on people's private messages off the 🇪🇺 EU's agenda forever please


The story gets stranger... Apparently I was never able to use the 🇪🇺 EU's GPUs in the first place Because I wasn't on their pre-approved organization list of "Horizon 2020" So how can you join the Horizon 2020 list as an organization? Well, you can't. It was made in 2014 and closed in 2020! ????


@levelsio The way I read this... aren't you excluded by default because your organization is not on the origination list for Horizon 2020?

🇪🇺 As a European citizen and AI founder, I can apparently use these "AI Factories", so I just signed up to use them! Every "supercomputer" has an [ ACCESS NOW ] button which made me very excited I expected to sign up, maybe pay a discounted H100 rate (funded by EU, that'd be nice?) and get a Jypyter notebook, or some SSH login so I can access my GPU like I'd do on @lambdaapi or @awscloud or @Hetzner_Online But I celebrated to early, I signed up, confirmed my email, then ended up in a "Supercomputer Access Calls" page, where I had to select from a tedious list of "Call For Proposals" to get access to a GPU So I could NOT just access a H100 GPU, I have to make sure my project (in this case my business) fits a specific proposal, ok fair This process was already tedious enough but then when I tried to actually go through with it, it started asking me if I had "Respect for Human Agency?", I do I think, and if I was mindful of "Individual, and Social and Environmental Well-Being?", well I am, right guys??? Right??? The questions didn't stop, just endless pages of this Look I get what they're doing, they pivoted the classic university "I need to rent a giant computer for my research" to an EU wide thing and then present it as the "European AI plan" But this isn't really how AI works in production? As a founder in AI, if I wanna do stuff I'd rent a whole bunch H100 GPUs again at @lambdaapi or @awscloud or @Hetzner_Online and SSH into a box Or if I want it more simple I run AI models on @FAL, @wavespeed or @replicate which is just an API call or web front end I can click stuff and run a model The EU has the right intentions here but it's just the wrong execution, this thing will 100% go nowhere, and I'm a born optimist, I want to believe, I'm also a proud European, and I'm in AI a bit and not a complete idiot. There's just better ways to do this If you really want to have the GPU servers in Europe (which arguably isn't that important), then let me rent a GPU box with SSH access at @Hetzner_Online or @OVHcloud that's hosted in Europe and subsidize that for European citizens and European businesses. I don't even believe in that, but at least that'd make it accessible for Europeans. Now it really isn't? What's REALLY much more important though if you want to be a part of the AI race and I've posted for years here with @euaccofficial is to make Europe a really extremely attractive place to start and run an AI business. Remove regulatory obstructions and give tax discounts for startups. Let them build a business first that can compete worldwide and once they make enough money (let's say $100M/y), then slowly start adding regulation. Because right now the regulation only benefits the European incumbents, the dinosaur companies, while making it very difficult for European citizens to start new AI companies here. Which is why we literally have none left. Anyway, I applied to get my GPU, let's see if I get it!

What in the F is an AI factory? I had to investigate what the unelected @EU_Commission is talking about today So according to them, it's some data centers (which they call supercomputers) in 6 different EU countries I checked out the most powerful one: Karolina, a Czech data center, it mostly has CPUs though (see pic) not GPUs, so mostly useless for AI The GPUs it does have are 72x 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU, so 576x A100, or equivalent of 240x H100s (H100 is about 2.4x the compute power of A100) So let's compare that: @xAI has 200,000x H100 GPUs So the xAI data center has 800x more compute than the Czech one If we combine xAI, Meta, AWS, etc. it's about 750,000 H100s If we assume the other 5 data centers in the EU are equivalent to the Czech one (which is massive stretch because most of the others seem AI consultacny services, they don't even HAVE chips!), the EU's new "AI factories" have a total of 1,440x H100 GPUs, let's round up to 1,500 to be nice So the EU is trying to compete with 750,000 GPUs with their own 1,500 GPUs, so 500x less?? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's just seems very low impact and another ridiculous idea and burning of EU tax payers money that will end up in local cronies and bureaucrats and will do NOTHING to improve the AI business climate for Europe The best way to improve it is to deregulate, make it super easy and low tax (especially when starting out) to start AI companies in Europe




EU’s AI Continent: powered on. We are accelerating European AI development with the launch of six new AI Factories in 🇨🇿 🇱🇹 🇳🇱 🇷🇴 🇪🇸 🇵🇱 ↓
