Anyone want to start a new movement with me progressing European Independence? There's been a lot of noise over the past few days about US-Europe relations and one thing is very clear - we can't (and shouldn't) rely on the US anymore. Europe needs to stand on its own two feet. At the moment we're entirely dependent on other countries for the entirely of our tech stack. Chips, data centres, LLMs, cloud infrastructure etc.... are all US providers. The same has been true for defence. To fix this we need to build and buy European. The first step is to stop making the situation worse. The UK, Germany and Greece have all signed partnerships with OpenAI to use its technology within public services. Agreements like this are only going to make us more dependent on the US. We need to push back and pressure governments to buy European and to get the continent investing in companies that are building European alternatives. The success that @andreasklinger and @euinc_petition are having shows that we can make change in Europe. We just have to be willing to work for it. If you're keen to join let me know.
