Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
OpenAI and AWS are teaming up to sell AI systems to the U.S. government. Because what the government really needed was more AI. The partnership expands on OpenAI’s previous deal with the Pentagon, because one government contract is never enough. This is not the first time AI has been sold as the solution to everything. ” Classified and unclassified work” sounds like a fancy way of saying “we’ll do whatever you want”.
