The EU today launched a call for tenders to establish up to seven AI Gigafactories across Europe, as part of its latest major push to accelerate Europe's technological sovereignty.

Can't use the term data center or people will freak out. It's too divisive at this point.

Giga's can be worth something

That's the neat part! Now we have all this free land for important stuff like generating bland waifu pics and none of those pesky tree huggers can do anything about it.

, these gigafactories could give European startups, researchers, and companies the infrastructure they need to innovate at home instead of relying almost entirely on US or Chinese providers.

Bullshit. Several European countries much have more data center capacities each than China (or anyone else but the US and their insane bubble burning trillions without any reasonable business model). Combined the EU is in a very good position.

(For reference: Germany has more than 500 data centers, France slightly less, the UK even a few more. The EU has more than 1500. Compared to ~300 in China... (also even less in India or Australia) with no one else even coming close. It's really just the US that sticks out and a lot of their data centers are hallucinations where the usual suspects opened up massive installations and declared them operational, while most of it isn't even build or just empty buildings.)
