    Knowing Finland’s governments, it won’t be even those. They’ll more likely take Google’s side and tell the population how it’s a price we must pay for being competitive, and how we need these foreign corporations raping Finnish nature to create jobs and shit. No European bougie gives a shit about the countries they lead or the populations they claim to represent.

      Well, the current government is run by corporate puppets and right wing nutters that were willing to do anything just to be called ministers.

      Not very hard to guess how this is gonna go.

        Yup, that’s true. For me it seems that even the nominally leftist and ““socialist”” seem to be of like minds with the corporate stooges.

      “Petteri Orpo, said attracting investment was a ‘top priority’ and ‘the value of the data economy extends far beyond direct investment’” Bull. Shit. Unless they have a plan to tax the snot out of this DC they’ll get nothing but resource drain and a handful, maybe two handfuls, of jobs.

      I think what happens is that governments look at the plans and their brains light up thinking it’s like an old-time factory. The AI company then shows how many people will be employed in construction and let’s the official go on and think that work will continue.

        No that’s just for the poors and proles. The corporations will never face repercussions because the politicians are in their C-suite
