Fortunately, U.S. startups never bullshit and posture to get VC money, and in the rare cases they do, it’s not posted to HN. Right?
It sounds like you're basically saying that the post you responded to is correct.
European AI. A playbook to own it

#12I like the "european technology" movement not because of any nationalist ideas, but because it stimulates technological innovation and creates a new dynamic.

#13Interesting reading this with > Tell HN: docker pull fails in spain due to football cloudflare block next to it on the front page
Other than you seeing a thing you want to see, why? There’s a pretty well known story behind that. Also, this post was written by a mensch, so have some respect.

#14I find it so funny that the people leading AI today have names that could be the characters of a bad scifi novel. Amodei (love of god) Altman (alternative to man?) Arthur Mensch fighting from the ethical side
this whole timeline feels like a Bad Cyberpunk novel, Trump, Musk etc

#15Mistral is the only AI bot I haven’t blocked from my server.
Do they respect robots.txt?

#1658 Minute reading time. I read the first dozen pages or so and I'm not sure what the goal of this thing is, why they wrote it, who they wrote it for? Is it aimed at European governments? Or companies? Or people? Or something else?
> This playbook provides a clear, actionable framework to position Europe as that powerhouse, accelerating AI development and adoption, attracting and retaining top talent, simplifying regulation without sacrificing values, and mobilizing public and private investment to build homegrown AI infrastructure. Only with it, Europe can ensure AI is not only developed in Europe, but for Europe and on Europe’s terms.
playbook for what?
> This document is not a theoretical exercise. It is a practical playbook
Seems quite theoretical? A lot of random statistics, and all the sections start with abstract empty claims in 'not x, y' slop format "Artificial intelligence is not an abstract promise. It is a tool that fulfills its potential when embedded in the real economy."
I'd love an executive summary of this for anyone who has AI tokens to spend (I've got some other stuff to get done with what remains of my quota this week). I'm not saying this report is bad, I'm just saying it didn't do enough to convince me to read it, and it has some patterns that would make me guess it's bad.

#17I've tried Mistral a few times, at first it seemed promising (though lagging) but at some point it seems like they stopped focusing on AI and shifted their focus to being a mouthpiece for EU policy and pushing for regulation. I can't really take any of their announcements seriously anymore. A couple of weeks ago they were calling for a European AI tax to pay creatives.
“European AI tax to pay creatives”
Love that idea.
Re: European AI. A playbook to own it
#18META used to hire in Netherlands until it stopped and left. I wondered why and a few times I heard that it was because it was hard to be dynamic in the country with the stubborn labour laws. The anecdote confirms my own bias but there seems to be not much mention on encouraging risk taking allowing dynamic entrepreneurship in this playbook, which leads me to believe this is a non issue?
But messagebird is another example.

I mean we already pay a tax when buying phones or storage because it's assumed we'll use it for piracy so why not.
