What Europe really shines with is the vast amount of talent that we train before we give them to California.

We have something better.

It's bring your own marcher, bring your own cat.

58
It's inclusion, it's melting pot, it's culture.
59
Safety, community, this is not a word, but like a feeling of belonging somewhere.
60
Finally, three words about AI.
61
AI?
62
AI.
63
Try GPT, GPT.
64
This is the trend now, but it's gonna be over soon because humans wanna be together and they wanna work.
65
Dumb question, dumb question.
66
For me, I think it's dangerous for me.
67
It's very dangerous.
68
If you wrong utilization, call me.
69
Have you used AI before?
70
No. Maybe one day.
71
You're in a certain position?
72
Yes.
73
It won't go!
74
Like, I don't know man.
75
Honestly, I'm a little bit drunk.
76
I don't like the that much.
77
AI, ehm...
78
It's also a debate, a question about the right remuneration of the work of journalists
79
because their production will be found in the data sources of artificial intelligence.
80
Mmm.
81
Ehm.
82
Then, after my 2pm swim party, I went to Europe's biggest tech conference,
83
where I met various unregulated robots and handed them an up-to-date booklet about data privacy laws.
84
I also exchanged business cards with lots of rising talent and then signed mutual GDPR forms to use those contacts.
85
The European Union Innovation Council was of course still on summer vacation and not present on the fourth day, meant to target young adults and students.
86
So I stepped in and educated the people.
87
Do you have a form, anybody?
88
Do you have a template?
89
Do you have a template?
90
Ah, no. I don't know.
91
I don't know.
92
Well, I'm going to leave a companionship, but I start at level one.
93
OK, well, what is the funding that we're talking about?
94
I don't remember now.
95
I would say it's working, but I need to test it in the area.
96
The platform, the company, that have organization to check the compliance related to AI Act.
97
I understand, right?
98
Waiting for a business angel, a companionship accelerator, anything.
99
Well, I met one VC in the US, in Colorado, then VC'd into startups in one year, 13 billion US dollars.
100
That's the total of what was invested in Europe in one year.
101
As I was walking down the streets, I was finally able to sit down with the real European founder, who was working hard at 4pm at a nearby cafe.
102
I'm Emmanuel Doucet, and I'm the CEO of DatFlow.
103
And we're building a product for our ATP, for the Parisian Metro Network.
104
How much did you guys raise?
105
Nothing.
106
So you actually are profitable?
107
Yeah, yeah.
108
Barely, but we're profitable.
109
We worked for a full year undercover.
110
And eventually someone took an interest and we signed a contract and
111
two co-founders also are researchers originally we worked in the automotive industry for driverless
112
a business teacher i had who said the the european founders are like ducks
113
so above the surface they are all quiet and calm and under the surface They're peddling like crazy to deliver actual value.
114
Yeah, we have great engineers and a lot of them are going abroad.
115
A lot of them are going to the US and building companies there.
116
And you can get funding without an actual product.
117
So you can grow quicker and test quicker and break things quicker and fail quicker.
118
Though I think the culture is starting to change a bit, but it's slow and it's...
119
How many pages did you have to fill out before you could register your company?
120
I know that's usually something people complain about.
121
As for me, I mean in an hour it was done.
122
So we had a great platform which did everything for us.
123
Great!
124
Keep it up.
125
Don't die like the other European companies.
126
We're trying our best.
127
Yeah, and I believe bureaucracy somehow is a shield as well.
128
Once you've cracked it, man, that's a big shield around you, because cracking it is tough,
129
so that's a real barrier protecting you once you've done it.
130
Okay, you can let go of my head now.
131
I'm sorry.
132
He explained to me that EU founders do not seem like the most hardworking kind only on the surface.
133
They do not have time to scream about their grind on Twitter, as they are busy delivering real value in an environment without unlimited monopoly money.
134
I mean VC funding.
135
His real job is of course the musician.
136
So learn how you too can receive the 500 euro grant for registering your AI startup.
137
While it is still legal, see you back in mid-September.
138
If OpenAI offered you 400k base salary and some stock, would you go over it?
139
No. No. What about 500k?
140
Maybe.
141
Everyone has a price.
142
That's true.

Sobre esta lição

Use o "shadowspeaks" para treinar a fluência: não se preocupe em ser perfeito, mas em se adaptar ao fluxo natural da fala. Para a prática de conversação em inglês, role-play com um parceiro: imagine que você está apresentando o cenário tech europeu e use as frases-chave aprendidas. Lembre-se: cada repetição é um passo para falar inglês com mais confiança! Aprender inglês com vídeos nunca foi tão divertido — e eficaz.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
