how did they write that whole substack without even mentioning BritGPT in any context https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/15/uk-to-inv...

Because it's irrelevant to the point I'm making in the piece. Like I wrote, lack of infrastructure can be fixed with funding. The other issues can't.

Sorry but I think it's very relevant.

> "There are thousands of experienced AI developers in the UK who could contribute to open source projects. They need funding and leadership. The French government have already realised this: in 2021 they supported the creation of the open source LLM, BLOOM. Other projects are arising elsewhere, such as the Large European AI Models (LEAM) initiative. While we face headwinds, there is no reason we couldn’t do the same in the UK."

BritGPT is directly relevant to this. It's the British LLM that 'do the same in the UK.'

Now that I think of it more, I think you probably hadn't even known the news of BritGPT when you wrote that substack, as hard to believe as that might sound. Here is an article of it https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/15/uk-to-inv...
