He argues that EU regulation has already killed the European AI startup scene, forcing companies to move to San Francisco where pre-seed funding is 10-15 million versus just 1-2 million in Europe. While the EU plans to build AI "gigafactories" with 100,000 GPUs each, Kyle notes that American companies like Meta are already building 5-gigawatt facilities the size of Manhattan with millions of GPUs.
