So far the support of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Cisco/Akami have given the US government a business, intelligence, and social engineering platform the likes the world has never seen before, and still people today wildly undervalue its power in the world today. They have effectively deplatformed Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia, put anyone but China within second reach from a mass data coll…

why would they? for most people in the western world it seems location doesn't matter anymore.

Occasionally I enjoy viewing the HTML of websites to try to deduce what web framework they are using. I couldn't figure it out for this one, but here are some things that I find interesting: - On line 90 of the homepage, there is a single script called `document.createElement('main');` - The website uses the ` ` tag to support multiple sources for images - script.js on the website has ANSI art of the US flag ( https:…

You answered your question with your third point's URL ('/wp-content/themes/[...]') - they're using WordPress. :)

Wordpress isn't really a web framework, it's a CMS with custom built themes which may include various frameworks.

I was a Presidential Innovation Fellow for almost three years at FDA / Veterans Affairs, happy to answer any questions. The program is looking for industry experiences to better inform and shape government policies.

Do you have any tips on how to stand out in the crowd? What is the government looking for in an application, generally?

How do I not pay for this with my tax dollars?

Good news - you're not, because your tax dollars doesn't pay for much of anything. The US Government has monetary sovereignty and "pays for things" that way.

Can we get an AI Force as well? If AI is a threat, only option is escalation.

The Presidential Innovation Fellow is the highest level role they're offering as part of this. For this, the requirements are "mid-senior/executive career professional experience in a subject matter expertise" with "experience collaborating with and leading cross-functional teams". The requirements feel analogous to a staff/principal level role in the software industry, so just for comparison here's the compensation…

Why did you assume that everyone is motivated by money? After $100k, what difference does it make for one's happiness? Personally, I wouldn't want such a shallow individual working in my government.

Interesting that on the page of AI use cases[1], as well as the "full list" CSV[2], Department of Defense is simply left out. I guess they're happy to advertise all the Good Uses of AI, but don't want to publicize the Bad Uses that are definitely being pursued.

The first poster has a typo "ECALATION", but I think that's actually more appropriate since it makes it seem AI generated.

Edit: wait are they actually AI generated?! That's pretty damn good if they are!

Probably not. Simply put, there's no first-world country in the world where top talent can earn even close to a US salary, which largely due to the fact that US is relatively permissive towards large income disparitie…

At the same time, moving to the US is unattractive for a significant portion of the talent (not the least due to the US’ socio-cultural-political climate), and working remotely for a US company comes with its own difficulties.

There is unbridled immigration to the US. I truly can't think of a cohort for which the US is unattractive.
