Ça fait quatre ans que la Russie bombarde des hôpitaux, des centres commerciaux, des centres villes, que son armée massacre des civils MAIS il ne faut surtout pas que l'Ukraine détruise des raffineries russes.
Sinon c'est la guerre.
Mais quel bouffon.
A year ago, people from Bercy, France's economy ministry, asked me about AI and robotics.
I told them what I actually thought. It didn't match what they wanted to hear. So they cut everything I said from the report, and wrote the opposite. I doubt I was the only one.
Today Bercy launches a "Directorate of Artificial Intelligence." Its mission: "define and implement the AI strategy," "pool compute capacity," "accelerate the development of agents."
Translation: we're going to plan innovation from an office. That has never worked. Not once.
OpenAI didn't come out of a decision in Washington.
Anthropic isn't a federal program.
xAI isn't a state initiative.
The technological leaps of the decade came from people who were building, not committees that were planning.
The real economy isn't a game of Civilization. You don't unlock "AI level 3" by checking a box on a tech tree.
And this isn't just an opinion. Hayek proved it in 1945 in "The Use of Knowledge in Society": the information needed to allocate resources is scattered across millions of actors and exists nowhere in aggregate form. No central planner can assemble it. It's structurally impossible.
The IMF said it again in 2024, with the numbers: trying to "pick winners" destroys capital, raises the risk of misallocation, and lowers productivity.
You want the perfect example of the French state planning a "technology of the future"? The Minitel. Cited today in the global economics literature as the textbook case of the state-chosen national champion that locked the country in while the Internet was being built everywhere else. We're really going to do this again with AI?
Because here's what planners don't understand: when you build something genuinely new, nobody knows what will work. That's the definition of new. The best AI researchers on earth are wrong about six months out. Labs pivot every quarter. Uncertainty isn't a market failure to correct. It's the nature of the frontier.
Now look at who's steering. Four ministers signed this.
Lescure (Economy): Polytechnique, ENSAE, twenty-five years in asset management, chief investment officer of a fund. A career spent allocating capital, never building what it's invested in.
Amiel (Public Accounts), who carries the public-AI push: ENS, Princeton, economics. Advisor, then politician.
Le Hénanff, the actual AI minister: business school, a career in agribusiness then digital consulting.
Papin (SMEs): a retail executive.
Not one of them has ever shipped a product or worked in tech.
And here's the category error. Even the people who spend their nights training models don't know where this goes. So people who don't use the tool daily, claiming to plan its national deployment, aren't a little off. They're solving the wrong problem entirely.
I'm not writing this to spit on anyone. I build in this field every day, and I want France to grow.
Happy to help. But on two conditions. Start by listening. Actually listening, not to delete what's inconvenient afterward. And accept that maybe it's simply not yours to plan.
Let people build. That's how it works. Everywhere. Every time.
Pousser un peuple à se soulever, l'abandonner au massacre, puis pactiser avec ses bourreaux : connaît-on escroquerie morale plus achevée dans l'histoire diplomatique ?
@l2f_bm Y’a contact pied gauche cuisse, c’est penalty.
En plus, à cette vitesse, un joueur sent un contact, il tombe, c’est par derrière, il ne sait pas si l’autre va tout prendre, ou si ça va s’arrêter là, il ne veut pas finir sa coupe du monde au bout de 60 min, hein…
Comme je ne suis pas convaincu que tout le monde prend la mesure du petit combat de MMA organisé devant la Maison Blanche pour la petite sauterie d'anniversaire de Donald, je vous propose de lister ce qu'il s'est exactement passé en dehors de l'octogone
(NB : si les 2 ou 3 débiles du fond pouvaient éviter de commenter "on a le même en France" ou "chez nous c'est pire", merci d'avance...)
Accrochez vous bien, c'est parti pour le thread...
