After winning the first cold war with a notable race to the moon, it feels now that the USA is doing everything to lose the second one with a race to the bottom.

As a non American, I just hope they don't take too long to reach it. While I'm thankful for the positive influence that the USA had in the last century, lately I feel like they only have a negative one, notably by poisoning our societies with unregulated big tech and social networks.

Whatever comes next, I can only hope that this wave of AI generated falsehoods is the last straw.

do you feel like the censorship/regulation/big state mantra that european governments are fans of are also poisoning our societies?

the AI wave is just beginning.


News headlines in 10 years will be like:

  Europe seeks investments to catch up lost ground in AI

  How Europe lost the AI race

  Europe seeks to invest in AI sovereignty after US & China dominated the world
Basically a repeat on how EU lost the tech and space race, but with AI this time. They just don't learn.


> lately I feel like they only have a negative one

As a European, I still liked them helping out Ukraine
