The AI propaganda and hype is so strong that even Starmer mentioned AI fealty in his meeting with Trump.

After Trump was overtly lying about the US spending $360 billion on Ukraine and that the EU had given their aid as a loan.

Is it propaganda if we can see it feel it and use it ourselves? I'm not so sure.

The hype is real, the bubble is real, but that doesn't mean it's meritless.

I have no issues that an isolationist US uses it. I have issues if the US foists the garbage on the EU, just like it now wants to dump Biden's Ukraine war on the EU by insulting Zelensky and deliberately provoking a protective counter reaction in EU leaders.

EU/British leaders are very naive. Just like getting everyone dragged into that Ukraine conflict, the US now drags everyone into AI and makes them pay for it.

Just like the war hype, the AI hype will collapse. In one case the MIC made the profits, in the other case it will be tech bros.

The UK recently announced plans to go big on AI even before the Trump meeting. Much to my dismay, as we've actually done a really good job of grid decarbonisation so far and there's no way building a ton of GPU-filled data centres is going to aid that or our spiralling energy costs.
