I know people who've taken money through these routes. The biggest surprise is the paperwork; since it's public money, everything must be fully transparent, and the government needs to justify why funds went to a specific person / entity.
In contrast, private investors have more discretion and fewer stakeholders to answer to.
Mostly projects / products that start off with very low usage thus python is perfectly fine (Why overoptimize). And then it becomes useful - and a rewrite isn't worth it.
You are correct chatgpt is a great product. But if thats the only 'AI' product, or there is a handful. Those companies will focus on replacing NVIDIA ASAP. NVIDIA benefits from having a broad set of customers.
The claim that AI products will never work might be valid. But NVIDIA don't need to care about that at the moment. What NVIDIA care about is the likes of AWS who are investing heavily into GPUs so that AWS customers can determine that maybe they don't need some model with tens of billions of parameters to make a search engine for an e-commerce product that has 100 listings.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal was somehow done via Microsoft and some contract they already have with the Norwegian government. This is how certain ms tech end up with the Irish government so quickly.
Mistral , open source etc do not have a sales force. Shame really
Citi used (And maybe still are not sure) to be the biggest retail bank in the world. I'm not sure how exactly that was quantified but I'd assume its related too phsyical footprint. If thats the case I could see mid and back office functions ballooning
I'm in Europe. They have to tell us they want marketing messages otherwise its against the regulations and would result in fines. We followed those rules!
