How do you speak over the loud music though?

Instead of, you know, people who just want to talk to ChatGPT or use Claude models for their software engineering work... I.e. the vast majority of grass-roots AI demand...
No shortage of visionaries in EU leadership these days :-)
So this is why Google is considered so far ahead of its competitors in the AI race!! (lol)
The US Government is not a major funder of frontier labs (who are almost exclusively VC and private money funded)...

Yes, there are government policy reasons behind why this is the case. Some would argue that these policy decisions are a net negative for the EU.
> If you ask the people who vote, they'll put safety, grocery and gas prices way above EU's LLM capabilities.
Fair point, these are good things to focus on. However, EU citizens are going to love it when there are no frontier-tech opportunities left in their countries, with everything in this area having to be imported from the US and China (note that just because Chinese firms make open weight models available now, this could easily change very quickly in the future for a variety of reasons).
But if you do end up being correct, then the data centers in question will just sit partially or fully idle, using no / a tiny fraction of the electricity and water they could use (which as others have said on this forum, water usage concerns are massively overblown in most data center builds anyway)
Oh no worries, I'm always happy when library / sdk makers are constantly changing their APIs in-between versions. Why would I not want to spend time updating my code to return to baseline functionality when I could have just built something using the 4-year stable underlying chat completions API instead...?
How dare you say this? These billionaires all work extremely hard for their money!
Wdym? GPT-6-Astra is AGI - Jensen even said so!
My friend showed me his brand new Framework the other day, but I couldn't hear his spiel about its features over the noise of its fan!
Consider me dangerously pessimistic
You hold them up to the Apple M series rollout and its just hilarious how far "the competition" is behind when it comes to laptop low power CPUs
Ugh, please no, why isn't these instructions in the system prompt of the harness if they are so valuable to the junior's work...?
This, in itself, assumes that all studies / papers are equally as good and methodologically sound, which is not a true assumption.
I feel like this has been a big failing of one (left) side of politics in recent years. Quick to state 'facts' as arguments but those haven't landed as well as they have in the past (15 - 20+ years ago), for whatever reasons...
