AI craze in "Europe" (not all Europe) is another example of some people blindly following USA for no real reasons. There is political fight right now and we have to decide whether we will forge our own better destiny or fall prey to American ruling class of tech bros, billionaires and conservatives who are their executive branch.

@HaraldvonBlauzahn yeah, #techfacism. #aisects. How can this be a choice?! Fucking greedy billionaires!
