The AI propaganda and hype is so strong that even Starmer mentioned AI fealty in his meeting with Trump.
After Trump was overtly lying about the US spending $360 billion on Ukraine and that the EU had given their aid as a loan.

The hype is real, the bubble is real, but that doesn't mean it's meritless.
EU/British leaders are very naive. Just like getting everyone dragged into that Ukraine conflict, the US now drags everyone into AI and makes them pay for it.
Just like the war hype, the AI hype will collapse. In one case the MIC made the profits, in the other case it will be tech bros.
The UK recently announced plans to go big on AI even before the Trump meeting. Much to my dismay, as we've actually done a really good job of grid decarbonisation so far and there's no way building a ton of GPU-filled data centres is going to aid that or our spiralling energy costs.
