Site for 'Accelerating' AI Use Across the US Government Accidentally Leaked on GitHub (404media.co) 15
America's federal government is building a website and API called ai.gov to "accelerate government innovation with AI", according to an early version spotted by 404 Media that was posted on GitHub by the U.S. government's General Services Administration.
That site "is supposed to launch on July 4," according to 404 Media's report, "and will include an analytics feature that shows how much a specific government team is using AI..." AI.gov appears to be an early step toward pushing AI tools into agencies across the government, code published on Github shows....
The early version of the page suggests that its API will integrate with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic products. But code for the API shows they are also working on integrating with Amazon Web Services' Bedrock and Meta's LLaMA. The page suggests it will also have an AI-powered chatbot, though it doesn't explain what it will do... Currently, AI.gov redirects to whitehouse.gov. The demo website is linked to from Github (archive here) and is hosted on cloud.gov on what appears to be a staging environment. The text on the page does not show up on other websites, suggesting that it is not generic placeholder text...
In February, 404 Media obtained leaked audio from a meeting in which [the director of the GSA's Technology Transformation Services] told his team they would be creating "AI coding agents" that would write software across the entire government, and said he wanted to use AI to analyze government contracts.

For the curious, there is a mirror of all the repos for GSA-TTS [github.com] (including the since hidden repos mentioned the article) here: gsa-tts-archived [github.com]

Given the shear of incompetence at taking care of the primative security measures, I have little hope that this will be anything but a security nightmare.
I would say I wouldn't be surprised if they found a signing key in the repo but I doubt they even considered the need for one.

More of that quality work spearheaded by DOGE and Tech Bro (and former Tesla-ite) Thomas Shedd - whose name was removed from TFS for whatever reason.

They may be a security nightmare, but this are designed to hand over the government to companies in a quest to turn the U.S. government into a fascist enterprise. Peter Thiel and Palantir are already siphoning your SS and other data courtesy of the Supreme Court, which recently ruled that the Maggots at DOGE needed this access to do "their jobs". The ultimate goal is to make the Fed. Gov. controlled by the White House with no pesky restrictions from Congress or the Courts.
With companies doing the dirty work, it is outside of oversight by Congress. Of course, oversight when Congress is controlled by the Maggots is meaningless, but if the Democrats manage to take back control (if they are able to overcome the voting hurtles the Rs are putting up), then the alleged administration wants as much of their dirty work kept off the books as they can manage.

How was it not obvious that such is the natural goal of capitalism?
