The Longest Government Tool Call

Description

A narrow dark terminal-like screenshot shows a single status line in muted orange and gray. The visible text reads: "* Negotiating with US Government... (5d 0s · ↓ 1.3K tokens)." The layout resembles an AI coding assistant or agent progress indicator, with elapsed time and token accounting shown as if government negotiation were just another model step. The humor comes from compressing slow policy, export-control, or regulatory wrangling into the familiar developer experience of watching an LLM agent spin on an absurdly long-running task.
