“I think we were on the topic of login aggregating data. It's an illegal task,” the employee question, which was read aloud by a woman facilitating the meeting, said. “The Privacy Act forbids agencies sharing personal information without consent.”

“The idea would be that folks would give consent to help with the login flow,” Shedd said. “But again, that's an example of something that we have a vision, that needs worked on, and needs clarified. And if we hit a roadblock, then we hit a roadblock. But we still should push forward and see what we can do.”

Throughout the entire meeting, Shedd painted a vision of the federal government where a small group of coders under his leadership would revolutionize the way government works. He said, for example, that he would need help creating “AI coding agents” that would write software across the entire federal government. He proposed creating a centralized database of contracts that could be “analyzed.”

So many red flags

I gotta say, I'm far more of an ML than not, but by god does this have my Anarchy hackles sticking straight up. Just the purest manifestation of why a heavily centralized administrative state is bad, bad, bad.
