  • Millennials will likely be overrepresented at some point in the future as well.

    Once senators get in they seem to stay more often than not and building up the network one needs to get in also needs time and resources. Doubt this has ever been much different.

    Oldest millennials are 45 now. This is when people start to get into these positions. Will probably be quite different in 5 years already.

    You’ll still be governed by corrupt assholes, but yeah, millennial corrupt assholes will have better representation.


  • Like in pretty much all branches, the AI will eventually just be another tool. There still needs to be someone there to actually understand what the tool produces or it will result in catastrophees. You don’t want to live in a building structurally designed by an AI without oversight nor fly in a plane programmed y an AI without oversight. Even for non-critical branches, there will be someone who directs the AI when it is e.g. composing the next shitty pop-song.







  • Nah, they can give out directives and regulations to force the hand of local legislation. It happens all the time for many things. I personally have to deal with the fallout of one atm.

    And I already said it costs money. And that is okay. National security costs money The EU spends several hundred billions every year on its military. A safe OS is much more important than a couple more jets. Even if it costs 5 billion euros, screw it even if it is 5 billion every year, it is still cheap compared to what it brings.


  • I am not just talking about funding, but about investing in operating an alternative OS. All goverment institutions should be switched over. A single entity alone is not able to do this, because they face too many compatibility problems with other institutions/contractors/software companies (this is also why the article says “mostly”, even the military isn’t able to do it on its own, not even just for the office package, leave alone the OS). But if the EU decides to do this, everyone else will follow and start using compatible software.
