This assumes that you can't steal information to catch up quickly, or that progress made isn't easy to copy once it's obvious that it works. A big part of why chatgpt is a big deal is that it shows that the overall…
Given the scale of investment we are talking about, it's also plausible that EU based manufacturing of solar panels could emerge given the right incentives.
In fact, solar on roof often loads the local grid in unhelpful ways (they were designed for asymmetric loads). I'm in favour of renewables, but done in the way that actually makes most economic and environmental sense.…
This is oft repeated, but once the cost of renewables is low enough it would have (usually un-modelled) second order effects on end users which may make this less important. Some industries literally can't turn off…
This is a really lazy response, but given the possibility that you genuinely don't understand the gp: Writing better software and reducing the (currently massive) waste of energy on enterprise bullshit and cryptomining…
