This is techno-fascism on steroids. Is this what Trump had in mind when he said 'fight, fight fight'? Was it a declaration of war against our free republic?

CNBC reports that the Trump administration on Monday announced a new initiative they're calling the "U.S. Tech Force" to build out the infrastructure for artificial intelligence through direct partnerships between private-sector tech giants and the federal government.

The outlet notes this program will include the recruitment of about 1,000 young engineers and other specialists who will work on artificial intelligence infrastructure and other technology projects throughout the federal government.

At least one of the goals appears to be to hand government functionality over to the private sector, which will replace human beings wherever possible with AI.

Participants will commit to a two-year employment program working with teams that report directly to government agency leaders in "collaboration with leading technology companies," according to an official government website.
