Regaining Innovation Power in Tech
summary
Claims Europe has lost 30% prosperity versus the U.S. over two decades and needs moonshots; a concrete example: Black Forest Labs builds a small, Europe‑based team shipping what it calls the world's best text‑image generator (stable diffusion lineage) and competes with OpenAI and Google. Recommended fixes are concrete: cut bureaucracy (notary example), fund focused AI and energy infrastructure instead of 38,000 scattered grants, back application‑centred startups (11 Labs, Black Forest Labs) and scale talent retention.
