Alas, my impression is that a plurality of the AI-related efforts of government-associated institutions (but also in the industry, to a large extent) in EU member states can be described as “trying to be the cool guys too”, whether it’s about LARPing “being at the frontier” (training mostly useless sovereign models) or by integrating proprietary frontier models into the infrastructure (even when it doesn’t make sense and they don’t try that hard to do it competently).

On the other hand, this made me think about something I developed into a shortform.
