Together, these two faiths crave the end of American liberal democracy and government. You can smell it at GSA.

a) find the lowest point underneath all procurement layers where the actual payments get made & each transaction has a unique ID tying it back to a human-readable expenditure
b) start controlling/choking at that point
Except we have a problem! Musk and DOGE are idiots.

Yarvin & his acolytes want to end the need for those and other jobs, and by extension the need, in an existential sense, for those people who had previously performed those jobs.
Welcome to new serfdom.
An insane Randian Techno-Malthusianism where you solve the problems of overpopulation, starvation, resource shortages & climate change by killing off all the people at the root of those problems.
I suppose it's A logical conclusion of Trumps "If you don't test then the numbers don't go up".
Plausibleβ¦
Itβs accelerating to cult status. Which can only mean that it wonβt end quietly or successfully.
Step 1 - Break the US Gov
Step 2 - "Look the US Gov is broken"
Step 3 - "The only solution is privatisation"
Step 4 - Carve it up between the oligarchs for pennies in the dollar
Step 5 - Resume substandard services at many times the previous cost
There is a plan to destroy things, fire everyone and leave no trace.
Nobody's talking, that I see, about what they want to build after, what should replace, succeed.
A nation of burned-out hulks, still smoking, with wretches begging in the street. Is that the plan?
The "masses" are distracted by their toys, listen only to sound bites, and are fed media that reinforces those sound bites.
It is much easier to control the uneducated. Hence many countries attacking public education.

Maybe these guys just don't see they are frittering away all product and service design knowledge in the agency. And don't even know that they lack this knowledge.
Peter Thiel, who mentored JD Vance and worked with Elon Musk at PayPal, has been saying he wants to end democracy for years. Lesser tech bros have been saying that the US ought to be run by a CEO since the 90s. These people used to seem fringe, but now theyβre in charge.
he can easily be broken
Motherfucker built out of spare parts in a castle somewhere
"Haldeman thought government was being badly mismanaged ... he embraced the solution proposed by a movement called Technocracy: that government should be run by scientists and engineers, not politicians."

That's it, it's so easy, that is hard to believe. But every step and every fact by now is in support of this!
Par for the course for a Musk run (or GOP run for that matter) entity.
The End.
Any logic that colors outside of those simple lines is WAY beyond their comprehension.
They want to usher in a hybrid of Curtis Yarvin's "Dark Enlightenment" bullshit and the Musk family's "Technocracy Inc" wet dream.
(My dad clipped an ad from an electronics mfr)...
The ad had a sound essay.. that concluded with
"Machines Don't think. Machines Can't think. What do You think?"
Is critical thinking obsolete?
When you get down to it, this is a religion that comes down to gaining obscene wealth & control over all of earthβs resources.
They see the rest of us as NPCs, even using that term!

With taxpayer money of course.
Their belief in AI is linked to their belief in civil society as the self-clearing coffee table.
Am 80+, this Thread on AI, quickly tied loose-ends to be a reasonable listeners, now.

There's nobody left to mourn them, which is handy, 'coz nobody would've done

Listen to your gut.
You've been right about all else, I am sure, but the poo pooers have us stuck at this point because we doubt and don't want to be mean like they are.
Give them no more inches.
I won't even give them decency or forgiveness now.
Maybe they are just incompetent. But I think it's worse than that.
Their meddling will destroy GSAi and many other lives due to their stupidity and hubris

The FAR, Federal Acquisition Regulations, are laws that control how the gov't buys stuff. They are legendary in their complexity for a good reason: to prevent corruption. To protect taxpayer money from theft by beltway bandits.
A nonsensical request, even if AI were a real thing.
They want to file the corners off of gov't spending. They want to consolidate all gov't contracts in one place. And put AI in charge.

But it's trivial to reinvent "better" if you naively/dishonestly address only the easiest 1/4 of the requirements.
Seems like these guys want to turn the US treasury into a literal ATM machine.
And nothing they depend on, including the energy to run their networks and the computers attached to them, works
But I get your point
But we have to assume you are right. They'll use it to direct money right into their own pockets.
It's criminal

They are mafiosi. They want judges and controls out.
AI is just an excuse. It's just "give me and my algorithms the control of your money. We'll make it better for you. Pinky swear"
Oh!

These unworthy actors highlight the value of the vast majority of our government employees who are simply motivated to honorably serve the American people.

AI thinking is indoctrinated by corporate and sometimes criminal minds. Dangerous to people and environment.
