The complicating factor is that whilst it's certainly true that Starshield answers to the US chain of command, not to Elon and highly unlikely he is authorised to exercise any direct control of it, the claims that Elon…
Mistral isn't even close to the most used AI services in the EU, there are very few industries where EU sourced/hosted models are required (mostly ones where the US also either mandates US models or is seeking to...)…
Lack of capital, datacentres and GPUs being the barrier to competition in European AI giants is the exact opposite of a "government sanctioned monopoly"...
Nobody is preventing other Europeans from setting up AI companies
Also rejecting kings is part of America's founding mythology, whereas if anything America seems to embrace oligarchy more than most democracies...
Oh yeah, I have no doubt there was a lot of knowledge compartmentalization and to many/most employees that seemed like normal practice in an IP sensitive industry. Just wondering how she dealt with the people that…

I think particularly in the case of investors it's that they're pretty comfortable with founders that straddle the fine line between bullish and bullshit, because the ones who back up their claims that seem too good to…

77 million voters voted for Trump after he'd shown them exactly who he was. I don't think you can blame the voter sentiments and information environment that leads to that outcome on the voting system. A fragmented…
The Open University has given respectable accredited degrees to remote learners since 1969. It's almost like evidence of ability to autodidactically absorb a syllabus isn't actually the point for most employers...
They do this. It's called lobbying...
It's not really extraterritorial from the point of view of needing to comply with regulations though. Your datacentre company has registered offices and physical locations. Your downlinks are based on territory. You…

One or more shots mixed with a small quantity of orange juice, typically served at between two and four times the alcohol concentration of beer and typically consumed at equivalent speed. What the hell do you think a…
I don't see people carefully mix their liquor in the exact same proportions as beer and then drinking at exactly the same rate, so your argument is about as relevant to real world drinking as "if you mix 5% strength…
