As a UK AI/biotech startup, we've been trying to get access to compute here in the UK but have found nothing (suggestions welcome).<p>We are getting free credits from US-based cloud companies but noticed they ask a lot of questions about our business model, technology and customers. That may be the objective of the free credits.<p>It makes me wonder if re-incorporating elsewhere would be beneficial.
I'm not sure if there is <i>any</i> hope for the UK to compete in technology and startups with the US or on the world stage anymore.<p>Especially when you get this as common place salaries for tech jobs in the UK.<p><a href="https://twitter.com/carbdiem/status/1813171794385215744" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/carbdiem/status/1813171794385215744</a>
£1.3bn is a rounding error in the context of the AI domain anyway. They're simply not interested in nurturing or funding an IT Sector outside of some small domestic Financial Services plays like Monzo Bank. A fair cry from the days of Sinclair et al.
