A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

This is so backwards and crooked.

The government is supposed to solicit bids for specific projects and then choose the vendor/supplier with the best bid.

Instead, they’re starting with a pre-chosen supplier with a pre-existing set of products and then having them go on a fishing expedition looking for government projects they can create to have an excuse to buy those products.

This is completely reversing the proper order of doing things and in the process eliminating all checks on corruption and waste.
