It's difficult for me to talk calmly about companies that are excited to spend hundreds of millions of dollars training stochastic models while the teachers in every public classroom in North America pay for their own chalk, some of their students' school supplies and some fraction of their students' lunches out of their own pockets. That those companies go on to say this will make the teachers "obsolete" is too much.
"We need a sovereign AI strategy!" Fuck that and fuck you. If you don't have an every child sleeps in a warm bed under a safe roof and studies on a full stomach strategy, if you don't have an everyone who wants an education can have one strategy - and you can have all of those for one percent of your sovereign AI strategy - your sovereign AI strategy is worth nothing.
