Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, we're talking about a huge

0:04.2

development coming out of Washington. I think this has a lot of big implications for technology and

0:08.3

AI specifically. And this is how the U.S. government actually builds things in the modern era.

0:14.3

So the Trump administration has announced plans to hire around a thousand specialists for a new
