Now AI is the boss, and its much cheaper than actual humans, given its monitoring 311 offices for compliance. That's about 12K per office.

What's that you say? The boss did MORE than just that? Well, AI can probably do other parts of his job as well, so who needs the old boss?

I'm NOT saying this in a complimentary way about Palantir or AI in general, to be clear. This is all part of the plan to privatize ALL government functions, by making working for the federal government an absolutely shitty job. A job that used to provide women, African Americans, and minorities in general, a leg up and out of poverty. Can't have THAT?!? The babies won't make themselves, the strawberries won't pick themselves, and the livestock isn't hanging itself up for draining and butchering, etc.
