Throughout the meeting, Shedd shared his vision for a GSA that operates like a “startup software company,” automating different internal tasks and centralizing data from across the federal government.

said like a fucking idiot who has never had to deal with the actual national security IT infrastructure that these systems touch and the importance/utility of data siloing.

combine this with hubris, greed and a dash of "AI" and we are all so fucked.

That's their point, they are moonshots. Why in the fuck you'd want to operate a government agency like that is beyond me.
