Episode Synopsis

A €300 million AI investment vanished overnight—and Justin says it’s a warning Europe is sleepwalking into irrelevance. Because while the US plans nuclear power and light-touch rules, the EU is doubling down on regulation and failing to build the energy infrastructure AI needs. Frank argues regulation isn’t a handicap, it’s Europe’s best shot at leadership, setting the stage for global guardrails while others race blindly ahead.Either way, Anthropic predicts training a frontier model could soon require up to five gigawatts of power, the same energy it takes to run millions of homes. Europe isn’t building that capacity. The US is.And that’s just the start. From Zuckerberg offering billion-dollar contracts to the cultural showdown between OpenAI and Google, this one packs a lot in. We also dive into how synthetic data can secretly pass on biases, why academic peer review might be gamed by prompt injections, and even LinkedIn’s bot problem.→ 00:57 Why isn’t Amazon building its AI facility in Ireland?→ 02:54 Will EU rules choke AI or make us leaders?→ 14:39 Can Zuckerberg buy his way to AI dominance?→ 20:37 Google vs OpenAI: who aced the math olympiad?→ 29:44 Can AI bias spread through random numbers?→ 35:01 Is AI gaming peer review AND your LinkedIn feed?► SUBSCRIBEDon't forget to subscribe to get all the latest arguments.► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSEDAmazon drops €300m Irish investment on energy supply concernsAnthropic: Build AI in AmericaMeta won’t sign EU’s AI Code, but who will?The Epic Battle for AI Talent—With Exploding Offers, Secret Deals and TearsGoogle Takes the Gold.
