It's over, Europe has officially given up on its digital sovereignty: they just signed up to Pax Silica, the US initiative to lock other countries in its AI stack.
In case you think I'm exaggerating, Jacob Helberg, the US Under-Secretary of State who architected Pax Silica, LITERALLY says so in the article (see screenshot π): he himself explicitly positions Pax Silica as designed to counter "digital sovereignty" - a concept he opposes because it would mean countries building their own tech stacks.
I wrote a long article 2 weeks ago titled "The Pax Silica Con," warning Europe that it was a "cage" to keep them "dependent on American tech and unable to build their own": https://t.co/yqq6uzhKnz
The cage door was wide open and clearly labeled. They walked in anyway.
