Why should there be pushback against antitrust measures? It's what keeps markets alive
Well, not necessarily; lots of things keep markets alive, including making it easier for people to start companies. But that aside, it's the selective enforcement of antitrust measures that's my point.

If those companies then got smothered or acquired by big oligo/mono polies, that only gets you so far.

What is selective about it? I linked in the sibling comment a fine for the biggest European digital ad company. And it's trivial to find the EU blocking anticompetitive behaviour or potential for it in every domain. Alstom and Siemens wanted to merge their train division to create a European champion in train manufacturing to better compete with Chinese companies, and they got denied. Because for the EU competition in Europe is more important than EU companies being able to compete globally (because the EU market is in their purview, global ones are not).

Grok is not SOTA, but its so obviously better than Mistral. Mistral is just some European patriotism or something. Grok is nice for asking morally gray questions. ChatGPT will lie in these cases.

The politicians can talk, but they needed to set up an environment that would've let a European company have a decent shot at competing with the best AI models. But they didn't. Should've thought of that before being proud of setting up those strict tech regulations.
That is not how EU does things. If you want no regulation and access to capital you should go to the US. AI will take over a lot and the biggest AI company will be in US and China. But there will be room for Europe also on the top 10 list. But there will be an environment that is creating sovereignty from US much more the before. We have learned our lesson
Will there be room for Europe though? Doesn't look like it based on other tech markets.

Define ideology and its relevance here.

But wouldn't winning devs be a neat helping point in winning b2b contacts? Or they think golf courts are enough for success? Okay they might be right here, but still they make it so confusing for no obvious reason.
In my experience devs rarely have anything to say in B2B contracts. At best they can recommend a solution to the decision maker, but in almost all deals i was a part of they didn’t have any influence on the final decision. I wish it were otherwise but alas
In my experience, this is only true at large companies (say, >200 employees). Which means the large companies of the future will all be taking their business elsewhere.

BTW this is what an ad hominem is, when you can’t find a flaw in an argument you find something else unrelated to attack
Just after that extremely gentle poke about a grift that died many years ago, you'll be pleased to see that I address the very silly claim about RAG in a straightforward, ad rem way.
