As the Trump administration and its cadre of Silicon Valley machine-learning evangelists attempt to restructure the administrative state, the IRS is preparing to purchase advanced artificial intelligence hardware, according to procurement materials reviewed by The Intercept.
With Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency installing itself at the IRS amid a broader push to replace federal bureaucracy with machine-learning software, the tax agency’s computing center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, will soon be home to a state-of-the-art Nvidia SuperPod AI computing cluster. According to the previously unreported February 5 acquisition document, the setup will combine 31 separate Nvidia servers, each containing eight of the company’s flagship Blackwell processors designed to train and operate artificial intelligence models that power tools like ChatGPT.
Fuck I do not like that, but it would be the most reasonable place to start. Tax legislation tries it’s damnedest to make all tax circumstances black or white and without logical traps. Even areas people call tax “loop holes” are always designed to be there. Not saying anything about our tax system is well built. I’m just saying from an AI accuracy and efficiency perspective, it’s prolly the best fit out there.
It is probably just going to discriminate against black people.
Going to run the government like United Healthcare
I would really enjoy one particular parallel.
