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.
