It isn't "sovereign" if the parent organization is controlled by a foreign company.
Yeah weird, I thought the company called OpenAI is all about naming things in a way that accurately represents their real status.

#23This kind of science/tech investment is and has been catnip for UK government, regardless of political party, for years. They're out of ideas to stimulate growth, and AI is their hail Mary. No one involved seems to be able to explain why it will work.
Ok let’s assume that AI will be a game changer. How does hosting it in the UK change anything? Just feels like something to brag about, but doesn’t have any impact. The UK is suffering from persistently expensive electricity ( https://grid.iamkate.com/ , see All-Time). How does hosting AI data centres help with that?
Well, they're aiming to do the power via SMR reactors, and they have a large government supported company (Rolls) making those. I think there's a bit of a hail mary that that will be a successful export story.

From what I gather the UKians have a real chip on their shoulders from being left out of every tech revolution of the recent decades (chips, EVs and assorted green energy tech, rockets and now AI)

Yeah I’ve definitely started to see the winds change. It’s gonna hurt everything.

Can you explain how this is a grift?

#29This is so sad. Like an addict who is hoping for that easy win to get them out of the terrible hole they are in... This government (as the last, to be fair) is betting on unproven technology they barely understand and sometimes horribly misunderstand rather than making tough policy decisions. The parts of this that actually materialise are very probably a good thing for the country, but this should really be business…
This just feels to me like you’re starting from a conclusion (“the UK is being badly managed”) and working backwards in a somewhat nonsensical manner.
Yes AI is new but it has contributed to something like 1/6th of total US economic growth over the last year and of course any government will be courting more investment of that type.
To the Americans I would note that your country is currently being even more badly run than the UK at the moment given that since Trump’s inauguration the UK has grown faster than you (and every other G7 economy).

Maybe they think it's like Peter Pan, if enough people believe in it, it will work.
