After having used Chat GPT for a while to just check it out, I had decided to not use it due to the high water consumption and me not really needing it for a while. Now that I had discovered the Buy from EU movement and am dual using Reddit and feddit right now, I decided to check out EU made AI solutions and the most promising for me right now is Mistral Le Chat, even though I will probably only use it occasionally just like Chat GPT. I am still glad that I support a european made solution and alternative to not give money, or in this case, revenue from data selling to a literal fascist billionaire...

Eric Schmidt. Investor in Mistral, ex-CEO of Google. Asshole with no bottom in sight.

Oh right, the guy that says we should forget about our climate goals because AI will solve them.

Oh no, that is truly terrible. Still, every company in our capitalist world has at least a few (sometimes literal) corpses in their basements. Trust me on that, I am German...

Fanta, Puma, Adidas and Hugo Boss are nothing compared to an alive and fresh billionaire from the US.

Yes that is true even though Fanta is part of the Coca Cola company whose execs are still alive and it's still an american company. We do have lots of better tasting and sonewhat healthier alternatives for that in Germany or Europe as a whole.

True and true. I don't count Fanta as German anymore though. Am I wrong to do so?

No you are not wrong, while it had originated in Germany during a certain time period involving an Austrian painter, it is still a Coca Cola product. So just buy the higher quality and better tasting alternatives.
