If there is one thing we need more of, a lot more of, then it's data centers... erh, I mean compute campuses and prisons... erh, I mean re-education facilities.
Fits universities pretty well as a description for a place where you go to focus on a single subject for an extended period of time undistracted by mortal concerns.
Think of universities as "concentration campuses" for the mind.
Those shops are money laundering vehicles. Meaning: they are subsidized by cash from illegal activities and without that they'd be unprofitable as well, leaving high streets empty.
It IS going slow though. The rest of the economy will be slowly adapting it, just like they have slowly adapting other computer systems before. There simply is no use for frontier models in the real economy as of now. For the economy it's just another cost factor, a substantial one if they try to actually build something with it, that has no real benefits that results in increased productivity and revenue making. So why should anyone except AI companies adapt frontier models? They have no reason to. And it will be that way for many years to come.
It's always bout the monies. Always. And about the evil EU. EU is only good as long as it gives subsidiary monies, but we don't mention that. Never. We only take and moan.
You almost always get 'something' from your government even if i want it or not, call it subsidiaries or not, the moment i do, i forego my right to complain?
I indeed have an issue with rules enforced on EU level, which seem great on paper, but have negative implications on local level. Course correction takes ages. This is the typical distance to power concept.
