French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI

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...

That is why Europe also has to be on the forefront of wellfair and social protection : there is a lot less risk into innovating if losing your job is less of an issue and if it preserves your ability to spend thus avoiding a hard recession.
That's something EU countries are better at than the US and on which it should capitalise (no pun intended). -

What does that look like?

In France, where I live, good unemployement (keeping arround 80% of your previous revenues during a year or two) and health benefits (100% coverage if you have a, relatively cheap, additional individual insurance). Which has the added benefit of keeping medecine prices pretty low (ie insulin is free for diabetics here).
It should, and could, be even better if they trusted beneficiaries a bit more, and were not constantly harrasing them into accepting shity jobs.
When you earn unemployement benefits, you still pay taxes and the rest of the money you spend keeps the national economy running (which, in turn, also turn in taxes) so financing it isn't necessarely an issue (even without taxing the 10% wealthiest who manage to mostly avoid it and thus, don't contribute. While their wealth doubled in the last 20 years, taking inflation into account).
The constant political fight arround those spendings is mostly about the morality of "assisting" unemployed and poor families not an economical balance matter.

That I know, I live in Belgium.
I wonder what successful capitalisation of that would look like?
-
Or just 10 billion into the school system? Please? Anything?

Serious question and not trying to be funny, but how is AI going to solve climate change? We already know the answer, but the world is too greedy to do anything about it. As a matter of fact, AI will worsen climate change since more power is needed for it to write couple of sentences.

One way would be to higher EU members' financial contribution to it's budget in proportion to their lack of wellfairness.
I also frequently dream of tariffs on extra-EU imports on the same criteria, thus also preventing so called "social dumping", modern slavery and exploitation.
Which in turn would make our own production more competitive and enabming better salaries overall.Of course, a lot of goods would get more expensive, but we would finaly pay a fair price (rewarding those who until now payed with their health/liberty/life for those low prices).
Unfortunately, I think it keep beeing a dream for quite a while (if not ever)... -
both have no clue.

What a coincidence, I use it to learn German and it makes mistakes.
I also use it for programming and with anything more complicated it makes mistakes.
And about the command creation, it is laughable to waste this kind of energy on this easy of a task.
I do not say it should be perfect, but if I spend more time debugging it's code than it would take to write my own.

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.

Interesting, what model do you use?
-
Ah, so this is why they can't afford the old, more generous pensions? Got it.

You better watch out or I'll generate another image

I think you misread their comment, they're asking for a separate €100 billion in climate spending.
-
Then they can ask the chatbot how to get the country out of debt.
-
Believe it or not this is part of it, can't make money to pay down debt if no one wants your stuff and you're years behind everyone else
