I am not a "tech bro" at all. Read the post, my salary is part of European manufacturing.

So what? There is more to the economy than AI startups with SV money.

If the manufacturing economy of Europe looses out to China, which currently seems very likely, I, and millions of other people, will be out of a job, with no possible chance of ever earning anything close to a reasonable wage.

Who cares about AI. The EU is loosing on everything.
