Thanks HN for all the rants and the honesty about this topic (and in general).
Contrary, whenever I open LinkedIn people seem to be naively super excited about Europe becoming an AI superpower (whatever that means). While I’m not against excitement, I can’t support it because it seems so detached from any real problem that we want to solve. And ultimately, that should be the driver for AI. Of course we can still engage in basic research, but we won’t become a AI superpower just because we want it.
