I hope European university networks and their underfunded labs will join forces as soon as possible with other European national research centers.

I’d be surprised if that isn’t already the case with CERN itself already being a multi-national collaboration project and with things like GÉANT https://geant.org/ existing

Wonderful news to not see the duopoly accelerating real science.

This is great progress in fundamental research and I’m thrilled to see Mistral leading it.
Makes perfect sense and I’m glad that CERN is focusing on EU providers

Wait, so we like AI now?

Maturity is understanding there's an enormous range between "like" and "dislike", between "love" and "hate", between "good" and "bad", and its also possible to be neither at once or both at once.

AI has been beneficial in multiple research fields across maths and science. That is to say, it's actually benefited humanity in those particular use cases.
As opposed to enshitifying the lives of the working class in most other areas.

Using AI as a tool to investigate the mysteries of the universe is a huge win for humanity. Generating slop images to confuse people online is not. AI is tool, we like when tools are used for good.

Some people do, some people don't. Some it depends on what for and how it's used as well, as well as what kind.

I think there is a large group of commenters who actually just hate silicon valley tech companies, and they're fine with AI as long as it comes from someone else.

AI != GPT

Man, when I was doing my PhD at CERN the most far out thing that we were generally allowed to use was boosted decision trees :) getting anything other than that approved for any Higgs-related analysis was… not a thing.
