you know, a far right that is, has really focused some intelligence and attention on building alternative media ecosystems across those platforms and kind of using the affordances of surveillance advertising driven media platforms to shape the Consciousness.

And that's probably what the Europeans... It's like $500 million European sovereign AI fund. And then you're like, but that's half a training run.

Which is disturbing because it's like, okay, well, that's a lot of money also. Let's not be flip about it. And it could be going to really good things. It could be supporting interesting open projects. It could be supporting interoperable alternatives or smaller clouds for more heterodox news, open source projects. There's really cool stuff that is languishing without that money.

And I think it's, you know, where is that money going? Well, if you're talking about going into AI, it's going to one of those three cloud companies, right? It's renting infrastructure from Microsoft, Amazon, or Google for model development or for deployment, which is inference, right? Like an inference is really expensive.

Like you don't just train once you then, once you use a model, using it as way, way more expensive than normal information retrieval. And so you're also, you know, like it's just this massive computationally expensive thing.
