Military software predicts Greek default
It’s official: Greece is going to default, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it.
That is, if you believe the word of a predictive software program called Senturion, first developed by U.S. consulting firm Sentia Group for use by U.S. military commanders in Iraq.
A release from the company explained that Senturion analyzed the positions of leading EU officials, private financial institutions and Greek political factions in the week following a critical parliamentary vote at the end of June.
That vote passed important austerity measures, but Senturion found that the Greek government “conclusively cannot deliver on all of the terms specified in the austerity package and most specifically privatization, setting the country on a course to possible sovereign default.”
The software, developed to help assess “life-and-death battlefield situations,” uses methodology based on Nobel Prize-winning bargaining theory and has completed more than 460 projects with 85% accuracy since its first contract with the U.S. Department of Defense in 2005.
Well, looks like that’s it then. Best not to take any chances. Nobody paid any attention when Skynet first came online and look where that got us. Alright everybody, pack it up and go home.
