End EU now.

The ECB has signed contracts with Nexi, Deutsche Telekom, Telefónica and Indra to build the network for a digital euro. The law that would allow a digital euro does not exist yet. The bank has also picked 36 payment firms for a pilot and is building an app. Banks will be able to link your online payments to your identity, and Lagarde wants authorities to get that data “upon request.” She once complained that democracy is “too much of a drag.” The ECB is behaving as though Parliament’s vote is a formality.

This bullshit cleanly sweeps away whatever little motivation to use the so-called "OpenAI" models.

The power-monger Italian siblings were already out of the question, of course. Same goes for Google and Meta.

Grok or Gab if needed, otherwise local it is.

Fuck off Sam.

sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources

“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre

but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time

you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment

somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”
