Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: https://t.co/x8pbpHLun7.
We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at https://t.co/YoZDuYbaBi.
Really nice report. Follow up: why has the fall in AI prices been so fast?
When you plot the price decline against cumulative R&D investment rather than time, you get the elasticity of price declines to R&D investment. By this margin, AI is not unusual – its price elasticity to R&D investment is squarely in the middle of Epoch's considered technologies.
So the AI price fall is historically unprecedented because we've dumped money into AI R&D at a historically unprecedented rate – and that R&D has paid off at a very average rate.

not to get weird but my late grandfather spent nearly the entirety of world war 2 on an aircraft carrier, at one point he didn’t see land for 82 straight days. saw some shit but the only way he ever spoke about it was that he was one of the lucky ones and talked about what an honor it was to serve his country and how he would do it again in a second if it was asked of him. he came home, married his high school sweetheart and worked his butt off every day of his life so my dad could have the best life possible. a spirit which my dad tried to pass on to me. so i can’t even put into words how much i love this country, what it stands for, the opportunities it provides and how grateful i am for all those who have so bravely given their lives to defend it. happy memorial day. the usa is the best country to ever exist
We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.
