French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI

I'd certainly hope for RISC-V. Perhaps now that we have a little bit more of an incentive, we will make some progress.

Looks like it is comparable to the US Stargate announcement, the money is coming from private companies and going into private investment, which is amazing, I regret not including this in the original post:
Meanwhile, the French financing will include commitments from the United Arab Emirates, American and Canadian investments funds and French companies like telecommunications firms Iliad and Orange, and aerospace and defense group Thales
A few days before France’s AI Action Summit, which kicked off on Monday, the UAE said it would invest between 30 billion euros and 50 billion euros in the construction of a one-gigawatt AI data center in France as part of a campus focused on the technology’s development.

I know it can't take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can't. And that's because most jobs aren't doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt

For a company, the choice are today: AWS or Microsoft. I would prefer an EU version (of being spied). It was pitched as the next big step, like this IA initiative today... Still waiting...

make our own production more competitive and enable better salaries overall.
That's the topic of this post: due to it's central steering EU became technologically (and in a few decades economically) irrelevant. It doesn't know how to make 21st century things. Tarrifs don't help with that problem. Nor does a national social security system. The latter does make sure that everyone's quality of life degrades about equally fast.

Labor automation kind of is a way to lower the retirement age.
Of course how you use it is a matter of politics.
