The article is about email. Europe could probably bring email "in-house". Large players like IONOS and OVH might help do it at scale.

But what about AI? Soon all of our email will be pre-handled by our OpenAI assistant while we will be driven around by Waymo and a good part of our work is done by a Tesla humanoid robot. How can Europe catch up and do that in a sovereign way?

For world-class AI, a country needs:

    1 Photolithography
    2 Wafers
    3 GPUs
    4 Software (SOTA Neural Networks)
    5 Energy

Components 2-5 seem not on the horizon on a world-class level in Europe. So Europe probably won't have the means to do AI "in-house" in the coming decades, right?

Author here. Cool to see this pop up again!

Happy to answer any questions about this post.

Interesting: Reading the first page of the bitcointalk forum, the puzzle originated from this wallet, which has an incredible amount of volume going through it. 10,000+ transactions and over a million BTC sent/received.

I'm in South East Asia -- are you sure?

I may be wrong, but I think the development of an "industry" would depend on the foundation of related education and its popularity in the population. Like if football is not taught in the school and people generally don't play it in a country, it's unlikely to have a team to win in olympics even if the government wants it.

Are ISPs in your country providing CGNAT addresses to your router? (as opposed to public IPs)

In France this is always a public IP (fixed it but, it depends) - at least for all four major ISPs

Not your keys...
