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
Ah, so this is why they can't afford the old, more generous pensions? Got it.
macron is exhausting
Cool...cool... can't wait to ask the 100 billion euro ai to write me a funny.. Now do a 100 billion to fight against climate change please 💔
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.
I think you misread their comment, they're asking for a separate €100 billion in climate spending.
Or just 10 billion into the school system? Please? Anything?
Investing money in ways to lower the retirement age, or at least stopping it to get higher.
Or give money to nvidia.
The choice is clear for this great leader.
Labor automation kind of is a way to lower the retirement age.
Of course how you use it is a matter of politics.
I'm not a big fan of Macron, but in all honesty, "the genie's out of the bottle" and we need some way to protect ourselves and the news media from ANY "foreign AI" influences.
As long as the European countries stay true to their guidelines, this should just be considered as a necessity.
Will this be done through funding colleges and universities, doctorates and other publicly funded projects and initiatives?
If so, good. AI might be a good tool, after a long, curated, legally directed and supervised, period of investigation, to create safe tools for public use.
If not, and this money is to be thrown out to private companies, with little to no oversight, it is pure waste of resources, badly needed to fund other social sectors.
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 wish France24 had been a bit more specific:
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.

European companies investing in Europe AND into leading edge technologies? Crazy
This world is hella fucking retarded
See that bandwagon over there, I am going to jump on it.
But everyone already is on it.
Merde.
Macron, you stupid slut, there's been nothing but news for the past month about how cheap you can build a competitor to the former top models.
Heheh, but reportedly, the hedge fund that owns Deepseek has 1.6 billion worth of servers. Plus they need to pay electricity, employees... and researchers and computer people often get a decent salary. That makes me think at least a few billions is the correct amount... If we want to do research on the level Deepseek does.
Deepseak did show it could be done cheaply but imagine if you could take their optimisations and throw more power behind it (ie: buy a fuck tone of GPUs that the Chinese dont officially have access to)
Could work, the EU should pursue AI independence else it will continue its slide into irrelevance. Glad France is stepping up to the plate on this
Building a cheaper model that's not as good as the top AI models is not the best way to build AI models, cheaper yes, but Deepseek isn't the best AI model out there, it still gets beat by Googles/Claudes/OpenAI etc
A better way would be to combine the Deepseek training optimisations with raw power of Americas/nvidias hardware
We're still at an early stage with AI, there's nothing to suggest we're anywhere near the end of Jevons paradox
Sometimes Claude Haiku (which has few billion parameters) knows things that ChatGPT doesn't.
both have no clue.
Are you blind? There are so many things suggesting AI is a past thing already.
Most importantly there is no good use for it.
Just like Bitcoin all companies are trying to shoehorn it in shit products and making them shittier.
Eu should not built AI but try to regulate it and protect the environment from it.
Heya!
Are you blind? There are so many things suggesting AI is a past thing already.
?? Really like what? I must be blind, Deepseek just made GLOBAL headlines, like my own local logan radio station mentioned it on its news the other day!
The Paris AI summit is happening right now:
On 10 and 11 February 2025, France will host the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit, gathering at the Grand Palais, Heads of State and Government, leaders of international organizations, CEOs of small and large companies, representatives of academia, non-governmental organizations, artists and members of civil society.

It's being held at the Grand Palais which is very fancy :)
If you're seeing something to suggest AI "is a past thing already" feel free to let me know
Making headlines is not a proof of quality. It’s just the latest buzz word. You should be less influenced by trends but more by real results.
Btw, I’ve participated to this kind of summit, even as speaker. These events are more a marketing and lobbying tool for consultant firms than being a real breakthrough event on the technology.
They did the same for the sovereign cloud years ago. Lot of money (our taxes) given, fancy events, fancy speeches. Concrete results: still waiting.
And yes, this ML training already show it's limitations (hence the thing of the past remark). Until recently, you could improve the quality of the answer by providing more training data. But now, they’ve reached the limit as no more data can be given.
It’s just a matter of time before the bubble explode.
Hey, the results of the sovereign cloud are concrete:
Your data doesn't belong to you, and can be taken away or spied on at any moment as your government demands.
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...

I just used it 30 seconds ago for comparing export data: https://aussie.zone/post/17570399/14730920
and last night for French language practice with https://morpheem.org/fr-en
and https://chat.mistral.ai/chat earlier today for putting together a bunch of keyalgo's and macs into an SSH command to get into my router
and https://lmstudio.ai/ with any one of these for javascript practice:
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.

You better watch out or I'll generate another image
