#EU wants to pump billions into 10 huge #AI data centers, so that "we can catch up with US and China". All purely driven by market forces, "stay competitive", not to provide basic services for its citizens.

The internet still is a Wild West. It's weird how gov dropped the ball in providing us with #infrastructure, where offline they do provide the electrical grid, roads, bridges, etc. in well-organized fashion. Gov should have provided the search infrastructure of the web, in a similar fashion.
