I love this website. It proves that software "industry" is a pop culture after all.
That completely ignores realities of society, power and influence, even in democratic societies.
We already lived through multiple AGIs for the last few years.
I know this is a heresy in some online religious groups pretending to care about engineering but that's reality.
For last few years everyone talks about moving away from selling products towards selling cooling services, and connecting everything to the internet.
Of course, there are good premises - predictive maintenance, automation etc. But this won't make disasters that await us any smaller.
People who use these things to some success, and then paint the trajectory of next 10 yrs and face every scepticism with "you are holding it wrong".
Yes, in theory Europe (let's ignore there is no such political entity as Europe, but people pretend there is) could hard-fork them and maintain it, but in practice it won't happen, because if it could, it would already.
This so naive only a programmer could say this.
