>The biggest single investment comes from Microsoft, which has announced a $30bn (£22bn) spending package - its largest ever outside the US.
>It is part of a £31bn agreement, dubbed the "Tech Prosperity Deal", between the UK government and several US tech giants as part of President Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK.
>"This is the week that I declare the UK will be an AI superpower," Mr Huang told BBC News.
>He said the UK had the expertise and research facilities to excel in AI, but "what's missing is the AI infrastructure," adding: "We are here to build it."

Wtf has the Nvidia boss been smoking? whats going on here? we are talking about the UK thats:

>Got the highest energy costs in the world, 4 times that of the US. Due to stupid Net Zero commitments. Those data centers need a lot of power!
>Shitty old energy infrastructure, all power stations are decades old and most in the process of decommission, last winter they were so close to black outs.
>Commie labour government that loves to regulate everything in existence, including soon AI
>Commie labour government that loves to tax you to death, and likely to raise taxes again in November

Wouldn't it be easier to just get all the smart AI experts visa's to move to the US and fuck this dump off?

I agree, we are an embarrassment and it's so depressing seeing all these foreigners with their admiration for UK history be consistently let down or literally shit on by UK politicians (like they're doing to Elon) when they express concern. I don't have any hope for this country.

>Commie labour government
The faglords we have in power now are the most neolib, America-fellating niggers we've had in a failed effort to be "electable" in amongst all this Reform retardation. They will bend over backwards to give these US tech companies anything they want, and they know it.

They'll get tax credits on all the capital investment, they'll get discounts and rebates on the energy, and in the end they'll have a skeleton crew of people working locally, probably Indians exempted from paying NI under the DCC, and a billion and one remote Pajeets.

The UK will get nothing from this, but at least Starmer and his shower of cunts will be able to say they've made the UK an AI utopia.

>>60956621
Kek, the UK is a superpower of fuck all.

Firstly due to the reasons you mentioned, plus I would add: boomer NIMBYS who object to literally anything being built, ridiculous planning / environmental laws meaning you spend more on consultants than actually building something.

Even if AI ventures were successful it would then get taxed extra (see: extra taxes levied on Banks and Energy companies). Or over regulated to protect LE CHILDREN.

UK is maybe the most difficult and bureaucratic place to build in the West, everything is mega-risky and phenomenally costly as a result. The second Thames crossing has become the most expensive tunnel per mile in the world based on the cost of the planning process alone, and that's for one branch of government asking another branch of government for permission to do something. HS2 is working out at something like 8-10 times more expensive to build than high speed rail in countries like France or Japan. Nuclear power stations come in at 4 times the cost of the ones being built in Europe. This is all without going into the catastrophic lack of housebuilding for the last 70 years, which has seen us go from having the most housing space per capita in Europe to the least, with all the misery and expense that come with that. The costs of the regulation massively outweigh the benefits, it's not about going back to full laissez-faire Victorian-era economic liberalism (though that's when the UK was an actually successful country), it's just about it not being orders of magnitude harder to get anything done than it is in the rest of the developed world. If the UK doesn't get its shit together on this kind of thing then it will continue its slide down into developing world status.

Britain is probably the best placed Western country for superpower status in the next century. Not spoonfeeding. t/140 iq

maybe if we get rid of labour at the next election and the next guys have the balls to privatise the NHS, scrap net zero, build some nuclear power plants, start mining our coal, fuck off the EU, encourage some manufacturing to come here actually enforce the borders from migrants and reduce taxes all around
its hopeless actually because none of it will happen they are false flagging in poland atm so we'll get dragged into that and they'll just cancel all elections next year cus war

>actually thinking muh elections and voooting will actually change anything
Reform are as much in the pocket of business as any other party

>privatise the NHS
make it even shittier and more expensive so PE faggots can get their cash, enjoy your granny selling her house for a new hip
>scrap net zero
irrelevant, much of the cost they are "saving" is private sector investment, by slashing subsidies they're just going to cost jobs and make the UK less competitive in a sector it's actually doing decently well in
>build some nuclear power plants
Sure, they're cool, but again, irrelevant
>start mining our coal
hugely expensive to get the infrastructure up and running and not especially economical when it is, given UK mines are deep-dug/deep-cast vs. open-cast mines of the top producers.
>fuck off the EU
I support the demise of neoliberal trading blocs, but what is the concrete benefit to you of this? I fail to see any
>encourage some manufacturing to come here
encourage global business to come with some nice tax breaks which will mean we see no benefit
>actually enforce the borders from migrants
nice dream world you live in, they'll stop some boats, but not all, and legal migration will continue on, because their business friends need the jeets for cheap labour
>reduce taxes all around

Ill extrapolate slightly further; Reform can't and won't do it. We're not at inflection point painwise yet; but neither is anyone else and most others have further to fall yet before they even consider it. But the answers are coming....

>build some nuclear power plants
The UK is, but have you seen the astronomical costs and build times of the new reactors the UK has been building? There is almost no nuclear construction expertise in the UK or among any politically palatable vendor. South Korea's KEPCO could do it, but it was just muscled out of the European market by American lawfare. The only way the UK could get cheap nuclear reactors within a reasonable timeframe is if it enlists the help of Russian or Chinese companies, which it won't.

the government are moronic and shafted. Take this "One in, One out" policy. Even if it succeeds it would not bring down the numbers, so the best case scenario is paying money for nothing. But failure is a huge risk, paying to receive people whilst failing to deport anyone. In that scenario the government is essentially just paying to look foolish. The risk/reward is clearly out.

The yookay government is actually really effective, if you correctly understand that it's mission is to liquidate the native population, deindustrialise at scale and be strip-mined for the benefit of US shareholders.
