Every independent nation should work on three things

first: Building their own AI models second: building the infrastructure data centres, talent pipelines third: chips

and third is most important and first and second are most equal ones.

Because noone in this world will ever help you out, anthropic denied to be part of war once but when the govt. who allowed you to stay their will ask next time they can't deny and that's what happened with Fable 5, every country should make their own peter thiel and Elon musk else you'll be a silent slave of big tech giants and mainly the companies they're based of.

    Infrastructure and the supply chain are far more important than AI, despite the hype. Everyone will eventually run the AI models locally, the era of concentrated big iron is over. Due to the past behavior of the powers that be, you'd have to nuts to depend on an external vendor to supply AI if it's actually business critical.

    As for nation states, local food and energy supplies should be near the top of any efforts at increasing resilience. The days of globalized supply chains are nearing their ends.

    One hopes AtomicSemi isn't all hype, and they can actually make custom chips, quantity one.

    There're no independent nations nowadays. Even the US and China are very dependent on trade with other countries. Informational independence is an illusion, only China could be named an mostly informational independent country.

    And it's really weird to measure the country's independence by its public "hype" persons or its datacenters count.

    Most countries lack the capacity to build these capabilities in a way that provides any return on investment. Rather than everyone trying to achieve "digital sovereignty". I'd argue that a better approach would be to try to ensure the survival of free trade and a rules-based system of inter-state relationships.

    The social and political environments that led to the emergence of these two individuals are probably not things for states to aspire to.
