This RTE scandal stuff smells really odd. I have already seen Fujo's director wheeled out to comment on the issue across the media. What will replace RTE and how long have they been planning it? 100% DCU will be directing the government. Keep an eye on these 'independent' observers.

Within 24 months everyone will have the power of something "chatGPT like" on their phone without the internet. Ireland and Irish people will require a "National AI model" , built with data specific to the needs of country. Will our legends and myths be contained within this? All our amazing literature and history? What abour the entire company and financial data in the history of the state from the CRO? These are the types of questions "nationalists" aren't asking, nobody is. The elephant in room is invisible.... who will get to shape and curate this information / national ai model? Who will be the gatekeepers? Do citizens need to take it up on themselves and cooperate .. for example building models that ensure our identity is captured and can regenerate Irish culture in the future? Will John Walter's model write all our victory speeches? Will we have a brand new Planxty album every day? Will we have something that values Irish identity and automatically formulates policies and laws to protect us? Culture and law aside.. why cant just know what's actually happening in realtime on this Island? instead of having to wait 6 months to know how many people were burgled in your county or 4 years to know how many people "live" here? How can you formulate policies with such lagging times? You cant... you can actually get the data right here and now, in realtime. "Give me list of the top 50 NGOs in this country and cross reference their directorships and audit them all please." ... Why is there a prohibitive financial cost to asking something like this...that's just a simple database query and some calculations? Can we break down these type of walls as a country? Who should have access to this data to make decisions? Politicians and Beurocrats ,the National Ai Model or Everyone? These are the biggest questions facing us, data access... not how to interpret the constitution etc. I'm branding myself a "Data Nationalist" from now on in. And I encourage everyone to start thinking along these lines.

RTE will be replaced with something much worse ideologically.
