  Don’t worry, AI is going to make it all cheaper. /S

  Sounds like the department of vulnerabilities.

  Don’t worry, we’re bringing in a bunch of C-levels from AI companies and giving them Lt. Colonel rank so they can approve a “Move Fast And Break Things” approach to Pentagon IT investment.

  I predict “billions over budget” will look absolutely quaint in another five years.

  I’ve always wondered if the world’s major governments all have their own secret, bespoke operating systems for highly sensitive situations. Like, not Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD, or anything even remotely known to the public. But then you see high-ranking admin officials using bootleg Signal on an off-the-shelf phone or whatever.

  I’d assume the actual intelligence agencies are more sophisticated. I doubt they’re running some “hardened” version of Windows or Android or whatever. But maybe I’m being naive and they all are just working with vendors.

      We need the /s tag around here for even the mildest and most obvious jokes.

    Also they fired all the trans women and furries. Everyone else who knows what they’re doing retired already.
