EU needs to decide if it wants to do data processing or not.

If it’s a yes, it needs datacenters and get a lot more energy.

If no, it needs to transfer data to US for training/inferencing on it.

or wait for the bubble to burst and come out on top.
The internet is a fad and will pass any day now.
One of them creates jobs, one of them removes jobs. Some societies that care about idk... people?... only want one of those things

Current AI companies with trillion USD valuations, models which costed them billions USD to train and now have total addressable market few hundred approved entities are very close to being a fad.
This. The US is playing the right move with solar panels, wait for the bubble to burst and then swoop in. Let China take the early losses.
Lol that is like saying let's wait AI out, not build fabs, TMSC will sell em cheap in 2030!
