with over 24k NVIDIA chips
So we celebrate this in “Buy European” that we made Nvidia rich ;-)
To be fair: what else? Spend billions to become a European competitor to nvidia first and THEN build this "super"computer?
Not that this wouldn’t be way better, but it’s just not gonna happen soon.
Maybe NOT celebrate it in buy European?
Fair point
If EU want to become relevant in future industry then it’ll have to do decades of catching up, yes.
One way to kickstart it is to have military only procure EU produced chips. It’ll be redonkulously expensive, but it’s also a necessity for domestic security.
This announcement is like putting lipstick on a pig, instead.
True true. Yet at least we have lipstick, yes?
Honestly, not sure if it does more good than bad 😟
Probably not 😐
And a pig!
I just found the irony remarkable.
We have all the technology in Europe. We know how to make the chips AND the chip factories etc. Just nobody wants to do it here, so we deliver the tech to elsewhere.
The EU has nothing to compete with chips wise, so in order to prevent America from running away with AI you have to use what they use as well
To be fair China doesn’t have anything either but it is trying:

Maybe if the EU can compete with AI it can use that extra productivity to help produce chips? but it would likely require a federal EU and a willingness to dump 10’s of billions of dollars into the project same as space flight
But they’re now located in Jülich. Next to some heavily guarded nuclear waste.
Oh. Joy. /s
Makes you wonder what sort of microcode backdoors and malware Nvidia was forced by the trump administration to put in.
