From Bill Gates to Bernie Sanders, most agree the AI arms race is disastrous. Only Europe can make it stop
TL;DR
An EU export ban on Dutch tech giant ASML’s machines could force the pause we all need At this point, it should be clear that AI is a choose-your-own-adventure book where every option ends in disaster. Exploding carbon emissions and ecological collapse?
Nauti's Take
The ASML angle hits a real nerve: Europe genuinely holds leverage through EUV lithography, and that point gets overlooked in most of this debate. The limit of the argument is that an export ban would hit European industry first and accelerate domestic chip programs in China and the US.
Worth reading as a power analysis, worth treating with skepticism as a policy proposal.
