Marijn"Digital sovereignty," if taken to mean we should switch from unaccountable American companies to unaccountable European companies, is largely missing the point of the problem. In a globalized economy the two are going to be functionally indistinguishable. What we need is non-profit digital infrastructure that's not beholden to the perversions of financialization.
Rastal@marijn To be fair, China woke up to this issue long before #eu and has been trying to move away from US tech into #opensource
As a result, US decided to pump everything it has into AI and LLMs - which are themselves an attack on open source
The real target of that attack is every country who tries to move away from US tech and use open source software or develop their own #digitalsovereignty. - It's the digital version of America's Wolfawitz Doctrine, not allowing any competitors to emerge!
