Good luck with that. Mistral is never going to produce a frontier model. Their business model is to rely on the EU regulations and cater to the bureaucracy. I won't be surprised if their next model is specialized on generating laws/regulations for EU lawmakers so they can sell it to EU. That way their business would survive for the next 5-10 years till EU implodes.
Your disdain for the EU is genuinely puzzling to me.
Why is it so puzzling? EU has become nothing but an authoritarian regime even violating the sovereignty of member states. It was working fine and well when it was an economic union, but now it has become more of a mafia that infiltrate and try to control every aspect of life of Europeans.
The US is not better in those regards, and is more likely to fall at this point. That would leave the EU as the last best place in the world to live.
US has been there for more than 250 years. How old is EU? Wait till the French debt crisis triggers the euro collapse and everyone in EU can live like the Greeks after the financial crisis, maybe except for the Germans. They always find a way
Why is someone critiquing the EU such an affront to you? Is the EU above reproach for some reason?
Certainly not above reproach, and there are reasons to have beef with them (I know I do). That said, they're doing some aspects of modern democracy better than the US, and we really ought to borrow each other's best ideas.
Democracy and EU in one sentence is quite funny. Non of the top EU heads are elected by people and yet those unelected corrupt heads want to create a surveillance regime. So much for democracy
