submission statement – for people who believe in the importance of AI, the relative lack of domestic compute capacity on european shores presents a real geopolitical risk. In the light of the pentagon's extraordinary pressure on Anthropic, Simon breaks down a potential path to appealing to the liberal values many of the top AI firm's staff share with Europe as a way to attract investment in compute on european shores. Liberal vibes as soft power. I'm convinced of the problem but not the solution here.

Reckon it’s an order of magnitude harder
