EuroStack

And I think that we've seen a lot of interesting conversations bubbling up over the past year.

Certainly in Europe, there's the conversation around the Eurostack and what it would mean to kind of build out all these all this kind of stack of technologies that supports the modern world and what we expect of technology today.

But I think that there are also a lot of conversations ongoing about other means of approaching that as well, which is part of the goal that me and some of my colleagues had when we put together a white paper at the end of 2024, where we were kind of, I guess, trying to preempt the conversation around the Eurostack because we knew that was coming and wanted to present a more left-wing and anti-capitalist or critical of capitalism kind of approach to this discussion and say, it can't just be working with private companies, but we need to think much more about the role that the public sector can play, the role that the kind of nonprofit sector can play in trying to develop this alternative.

Because if we just create more massive kind of private services on the same model that we have today, then the issues of security and privacy and data extraction and you know, the problems with the way that technology is deployed to harm workers and to change, you know, the labor model and all this kind of stuff, all this suite of problems is still going to be there because we haven't addressed the core problem, which is the model that this is all built on.

And I can talk a ton about that, but like, I think that this is something that was intentionally created by the United States to serve their interests.
