Schibsted just signed a deal with OpenAI. Good or bad? It depends. A good partnership: both sides benefit, terms are public, you can leave. A bad dependency: one side has all the power, terms are hidden, you're stuck. We don't know which one this is. That's the problem. Most European companies run on American software, cloud, and AI. Fine — as long as it's a choice. When there are no alternatives, it's not a choice. It's a dependency. That's why we built Flowen — EU-hosted, Mistral AI, one platform instead of 14 tools. Not anti-American. Pro-choice. — Daniel Olsson, Founder of Flowen
