I don't wanna overextend and over reading a single event, but there was one framing one analyst gave after the US export controls changed, and they did change something subtly, because multiple G7 nations had been talking about sovereignty and sovereign AI investment for a while, but always on the assumption that it would happen alongside access to US models, and that assumption

So, in a way, the lunch could also be regarded as a diplomatic aftershock on the fable suspension, or also on an outlook of how the narrative and tech infrastructure will be included into geopolitical conversations going forward.
podcast-host
