What I find scary is that none of these Trump-appointed folk have a clue the downside of current AI technology, the problems, and software issues. It is a cool buzzword to them and that is all they need to push it. Sort of like how Trump got reelected. We are electing idiots... time for a change.

Addendum: Elmo's task is (IMO) to get all major govt agencies run by AI. Sounds very cool until you realize that whoever controls the software controls the country. Elmo used "X" to get Trump into the WH with this method. Time to thing bigger, folks. Think elections and retribution on opposition.

Them controlling the AI is how the facts they want will be determined. This is why they want to eliminate "WE THE PEOPLE" from the federal workforce.

Grok says you want a demo. I don't make the rules..

Gross. How much disdain must you have for your workforce to go with "I have no idea what you're talking about"?

Reminds me of time early in transition to electronic medical records at the VA when an administrator (optometrist with no mental health experience) claimed that designing a better depression questionnaire template would solve Veteran suicide.

Corporations and rich rats will now be elevated to unique status and visibility.
We hate them.

Getting the inside track on inserting AI in government is Elon’s latest attempt to make himself prime contractor to government with no competition

This is 100% the plan, the fantasy that somehow AI can offer huge savings, that a few oligarchs can run the government with Ai tools. Do watch out for other techbros waiting in the wings with their own products when Elon's flop.

Afraid so. What a debased idea of politics.

Suddenly reminded of that cringe-because-soooooo-accurate scene in Silicon Valley where they mocked TechCrunch Disrupt and every single pitch ended with, "and that's how we'll make the world a better place"...

Democrats should officially rename DOGE. It should be called the Department of Government Elimination and Intimidation …DOGEI.

Just like they could never pronounce Kamala’s name correctly… This should be the official name that we all use.
