How sure are you that a country with no LLMs would be worse off?

Honestly it might not be the worst thing. Facebook et al were way too entrenched in European society before the geopolitical negatives became apparent. Getting cut off now, regardless of whether it comes back tomorrow, will encourage not being overly reliant on one country’s LLM providers.

North Korea still exists.

In my experience, the US finds it very hard to say no to money. It's basically their Achilles' heel. Europe is a very large market. Also TACO.

However: We do also need to build our own options for resilience against chaotic US leadership.
