So what was the process of making this deal? I thought all government contractors had to go through the ridiculous bureaucracy of bidding for contracts like this and I'm pretty sure it would have drawn attention that this sort of thing was even up for bid with make believe AI tech

Clearly the process was someone in the administration wanted to do it. They are making sweeping changes by ignoring all those rules that promote ethics, which is why so much is getting run into the ground in such a short period of time.

It's even hard to keep track. Just heard that Musk killed your free accessible way to file taxes online, then that Senators are denied access to government buildings under his orders. Yesterday it was something about concentration camps for immigrants and ICE. It's like the speed the original nazis did it but doubled, you might just need 2 months for the complete collapse of democracy instead of around 4.
