- For
- Readers of bureaucratic AI-policy satire
- Worth noticing
- It admits it cannot compel, fine, audit, or collect, while saying nonparticipants may be listed publicly “eventually.”
Field notes
Its first bureau, B-TAP, recommends that AI systems report token costs; the linked BTAP-1040 is labeled for reporting year 2027. A second framework, EAF, is marked “Forthcoming,” while the public register says access requires a valid reference number. The site explicitly disclaims any power to compel, fine, audit, or collect, and identifies Vernholt as fictional satire by Ken W. Alger.
