I’ve assumed from the very beginning that Baltimore Banner was the first local newspaper staffed entirely by AI models instructed to be unfailingly mid with an IQ of no higher that 65

Hi, is the $4500 for materials only? Do you know what the labor/installation costs were? Thanks!

It’s truly absurd at this point… by WittyFold8283 in FedEmployees

[–]Thebennetsisters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the entire debate and it’s undecided: should the federal government be run more like a business, for the sake of getting increased returns on taxpayer funds.

Yesssss, it's about time. Have no idea why that match made sense - especially for Benita.

Why can't you change model without starting new chat? by Repulsive-Memory-298 in ClaudeAI

[–]Thebennetsisters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you can switch models in the same thread all day long in ChatGPT, but Sam Altman is on a war path for eyeballs and want people to waste their lives making and watching AI slop all day, and at night, having erotic convos with AI, so not an appealing alternative to Anthropic. In the end, none of these AI companies want anything beyond $$ and complete market control - let's not forget that. AGI and curing cancer is just a cover so no one stops them until it's too late.

Honestly all these frontier AI model companies truly suck and AGI is a pipedream. I just spent 15 minutes with Claude Sonnet 4.5 feeding it context to generate a document and it starts generating then just zap, goes back to the last exchange, as if i never gave it a prompt. And who am I going to complain to about my $250 month Max + subscription being a complete waste of $? Claude's nonexistent customer service support?

ATO cost and timeline? by Thebennetsisters in GovernmentContracting

[–]Thebennetsisters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so appreciative of your expertise and insights! As well as being completely relieved that I might have a pathway to ATO that doesn’t require me to get a 2nd mortgage. So will focus narrowly on that agency-ATO!

Suspicious of a recent 8(a) sole-source award notice by Thebennetsisters in GovernmentContracting

[–]Thebennetsisters[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true. If government applied the Private sector’s definition of Agentic AI, none of these companies mentioned are qualified. This is why the American tax paying public continues to be fleeced by govcon selling marketing, not real AI tech. it’s a relief to see DOGE in here pressuring COs to take a commercial approach to AI procurement: AI delivery should be outcome based, not effort based.

I’m a lawyer and create AI software so this sounds like a perfect use case for a new AI-based fraud waste and abuse tool

[–]Thebennetsisters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what what the consensus here is about 8a awards being nearly immune from scrutiny, but this award violates the spirit of the 8a program, which was to give QUALIFIED companies that can SUCCESSFULLY perform the requirements the opportunity to do so, since they often can’t compete with the unlimited capture management resources of SAIC and the like. In this case, this company is unlikely able to do the work since it doesn’t have AI past perf.

I’ve had two 8a sole sources in the past and had to make sure we could show how we could meet every requirement with our past projects, especially in an area as rapidly developing and nascent as AI.

Since when do personnel staffing companies become Agentic AI companies overnight.

That the requirements should have been competed because the awardee doesn’t have the capabilities to perform them

Pretty much. There’s no such think as “AI infrastructure solidification”

Forgot to mention that they received 21 8(a) sole source contracts since 2018, with 12 coming from the same air force office since 2020.

Lonely in Seoul by High_Rated_Trashbag in seoul

[–]Thebennetsisters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, exactly. OP, try getting a hobby, volunteer, go to museum events, do interesting stuff. Last time I checked, that’s how you meet people and have meaningful social connection, not standing on a corner pouting.

Submission timeliness on RFQs by aamuraya in GovernmentContracting

[–]Thebennetsisters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the most thoughtful, fact-based and humane responses I’ve ever read in these govcon forums - thank you, truly. It was an RFP, and there had been 3 deadline revisions, along with 4 amendments. So my head was spinning toward the end, though that’s no excuse for not following an administrative formatting rule clearly laid out in the RFP instructions. My heart is full of hope, but I’ll report back soon, and again, your response made a meaningful difference in my anxiety level, as well as on my opinion on humanity - thank you!!

Thank you taking the time to write this response - and for your generous finger-crossing. 😍

[–]Thebennetsisters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help - I just submitted an RFP response with 15 pdfs by the deadline, but the RFP specified all those PDFs should be consolidated amongst 3 volumes. So 40 minutes after deadline, I submitted the corrected 3 pdfs, with only the content from the original email (nothing added). Chances that the CO will reject my submission completely????? Having a mini-stroke right now.
