Marc Andreessen argues Europe seems "determined to be left behind" on AI — "I just take them at their word." His evidence: 25 years ago roughly 15 of the world's 50 biggest tech companies were European; today it's basically down to Spotify. He claims the EU would be happy if AI never happened inside it, and would even prefer social media and the open internet didn't exist.
