They do regularly in Europe as well, just don't act like it's something that doesn't happen

It's not common sense regulation. It's anticompetitive regulations. You're happy to ride a taxi that often times takes a longer route to steal you a few extra euro? Are you happy that a taxi driver earn 500-600-700 euro a day when the avg salary in some EU countries is 1.5k a month? Are you happy that they don't take credit card payments and accept (often time) only cash? Are you happy that they evade taxes? Are you happy to go inside a car and don't know how long and how much your ride is going to cost? Are you happy that often times in touristic cities they refuse to use the meter?

You seem to know well what Europeans want but I bet you never got scammed by a taxi driver. Europeans like everybody want to simply pay less by having an open market that allows the best players to offer services without artificially inflating the price because that specific category some privilege.

If you claiming that Europe is not decaying probably you're living in the wrong Europe.

Europe is decaying faster than you think.

It's 80/20, but in some tasks it's much better (e.g. translation)

Nonetheless the fact that you can just change a bit the prompt to instruct the model to do what you want makes everything much faster.

Yes the trade-off is that you need GPUs to make it run, but that's why we have cloud

You conveniently left our everything else I mention and those companies aren't really leading. Bolt for example has an edge because everywhere in Europe they're been killing Uber or limiting it hardly, and in some countries it's still the case.

In most cases those companies are knockoffs of American companies and you've yet to mention cases were Europe is actually leading the way (aside from some unique cases it doesn't happen regularly)

P.s. Russia is not part of Europe, you can safely leave it out (and yes they've plenty of competitors to american companies telegram, Yandex, VK etc. we can't say the same for Europe)

Ya cool, does this change the result? No.

Europe has no competitors to the US/Chinese tech giants and their citizens want to use technology like anybody else without a layer of bureaucracy preventing them from doing basic stuff.

I don't think European citizens have been forced to use Uber, Airbnb, Apple, Android, Facebook , WhatsApp and so on.

That shouldn't be the premise of a company that has "open" in its name as well?

While I'm not necessarily against GDPR and regulations, is undeniable that the regulatory landscape in Europe has been preventing innovation.

In fact it's tech market is predominantly dominated by US tech companies (and probably soon Chinese ones as well)

Number 2 is already possible with open models. You can do distillation using Llama, which could likely be doing #1 to build their models (I'm not sure it's the case though)

Realistically that's the actual headline. Only another AI can replace AI, pretty much like LLMs / Transformers have replaced "old" AI models in certain task (NLP, Sentiment Analysis, Translation etc) and research is in progress for other tasks as well performed by traditional models (personalization, forecasting, anomaly detection etc).

If there's a better AI, old AI will lose the job first.

Make sense but 60k for 600k in revenue with a pipeline to 1m or more it's quite small.

I'd try to negotiate at the very least and keep like 5% instead of 1%

Keep the shares and quit the company. It you don't need the cash it's pointless to sell your shares (you don't have to)

He'd need to raise capital at some point, new investors could buy your shares at a higher value.

How do you know if they never had the option to use a train?

Which Europe are you talking about? Europe is a collection of independent counties and what you just mention is all wrong.

Most of the European railway companies have been privatized and there are companies that run the rail network and companies that run the train. Subsidies are not a thing in many of the European countries

So it's easier to drive to San Francisco from Seattle instead of parking your car at the train station in Seattle, take a train and then do your business on downtown SF, come back to Seattle and take your car back home?

(It's a figurative example I'm not sure there's a train from Seattle to SF)
