I discuss how Big Tech craft AI narratives, including doing bull$hit innovation

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft own around 65% of the global public cloud market.

Most companies and even states that have sought to bypass the cloud hegemons have given up due to the costs involved and the risks of falling behind technologically: https://t.co/GYQUUgehF0

@ATFblindpost I fully agree that the conscious product of humanity would have been different. Still, LLMs are the product of humanity even if they are also an outcome of Big Tech's epistemic totalitarianism, as I explain in my book "The Rulers": https://t.co/PzB6wqvfu8

AI Is a Product of Humanity. Humanity Should Own AI

The European Commission's Tech Sovereignty proposal tries—& fails—to kill 3 birds with the same stone: competitiveness, sustainability & sovereignty. While it may partially succeed in the former, it will do so at the cost of the 2 latter.

Aujourd’hui, la France se classe au 5e rang mondial en matière de dépendance au numérique.

Il faut sortir les États de l’emprise des grandes entreprises de la tech.

UCL is asking us (scholars, students and admin) to save them money in storage because @Microsoft is increasing its cloud prices. Won't say "I told you so UCL", but... I told you so!!

I should probably give a copy of my forthcoming book "The Rulers" to UCL Provost.
