GOP Rep. Rich McCormick at his town hall last night justified the Trump administration firing CDC workers by saying "a lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI"

Yea? Well I think AI could do his job too since all he does is, without conscience, say yes sir to trump. No thought, no compassion, no real intelligence required
Yeah...but that robotic technology doesn't yet fully exist. And even if they did, firing people who operated those robotics is as stupid as a move gets. https://youtu.be/2legiuZaiuc
He said he’s a doctor and he is smart, so maybe the Freudian slip was meant to tell us he thinks the plan is to replace people with privately owned AI which won’t work.
The GOP is also pushing the "well I'm a doctor, Musk is a genius, we know what we are doing, federal workers are plebs/not smart ones" which is beyond FALSE.
As Wired recently put it, "DOGE incompetence is a feature, not a bug."
It's astonishing to me that the manly men are preferring to go down in history as the men who oversaw the destruction of America and its people becoming destitute because they are cowards.
1st he needs to work on vocabulary...he basically just said the work was deceptive...not duplicated as I believe he meant.
2nd what kind of moron doesn't understand that a scientist tests & retests before going to next step. I wld never trust a medical recommendation on word of 1 scientist & AI.
I think he said duplicative. Agree fully! There's no chance AI is used by gov! AI is still so new and not ready for scale use. Private businesses toy with AI but smart ones test it and realize it isn't accurate enough to be reliable. The Gov is notoriously behind at the bureaucratic level for tech.
😂 you're right! I stand corrected. My mind put in duplicative because otherwise it rejects the words coming out his mouth. He says something like duplisitive. He kinda slurred his way into whatever word he was trying to get at...
Wherever you live in the nation, if you can get to DC, this is our opportunity to show up Powerfully United, and show the world we Reject this Felonious TRAITOR.

WE NEED A HUGE CROWD
March 4th - Washington, DC
U.S. Capitol- Noon
I recommend finding a place to stay near a metro station and taking the metro to the Capitol, as parking is a challenge. There are hotels in Virginia and Maryland on the metro line which will be less expensive than DC.
More like a Freudian slip - he knows very well that the ketamine muskrat's nest of hackerbois is entirely duplicitous and they're installing backdoors in all the systems so AI can be used to hack it all and make it broken
Duplicitous??? 🤔 Is that the word that he meant to use?
AI is proving to be inaccurate in a number of contexts so not reliable in this particular field, I’d have thought.
Seriously. Ever read an AI-generated synopsis from a Zoom meeting? Every one I’ve seen has been complete gibberish, comically so. Imagining AI taking the place of a biochemist at this stage is hilarious.
Except that it's not. As an epidemiologist, I can state pretty well that the AI isn't up to that level as yet. If it were, great. At that point, maybe we won't need a president either. But it's not.
Will Musk allow AI to supervise surgery on his prostate?
James Carville just handed Hannity his ASS while making the best point EVER that Dems need to start pushing. MAGA & DOGE TALK LIKE A BILLION IS A SAVINGS WHEN THE BUDGET IS 6 TRILLION! Eliminating USAID only saved .041%. TRUMP RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST FEDERAL DEBT IN HISTORY! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ygodum/
They want AI so that they don't need you anymore. They no longer use advances in technology to make our lives better. They use it to maximize profits and cut costs (of which you are one of).
A good chunk of his district is white, educated and affluent. This may be the first GOP demographic to break away as they will be the quickest to realize what is actually going on.
Yes, they suspended their common sense when they voted for Trump.
Using AI to justify the layoffs is laughable. This rationale, carried to its logical conclusion, means "AI" will be able clear trails, reduce vegetation, etc., in Yosemite. The layoffs are indiscriminate and cannot be justified.
What keeps getting MISSED by US media is how easily #GA07 Rich McCormick surrendered Congress' authority/powers to Trump when he LIED & said "The President has great purview over where a lot of this money goes." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOYNwZ1tuV0
Congress controls the "power of the purse" - NOT Trump!
The dream that AI will be able to do everything and humans can just enjoy life misses a critical point…how will humans pay for things they enjoy if AI does everything????
I cannot believe the utter stupidity of this. Any results AI is spitting out is from information created by the CDC workers (among other human scientists).
He thinks we’ve reached HAL when we’re at an internet aggregator with decent syntax.
To those of you who don’t know, this area (my area) is ripe with CDC employees. Good people, hard workers. Doctors, researchers, scientists and support staff.
We KNOW the good work the CDC does.
And rightfully hurt and angry.
Their entire life goal is to HELP people.
They aren’t billionaires playing video games for funsies.
Their goals are to HELP people be healthy.
Working for the CDC is a humanitarian goal, not a billionaire payout.
He’s a fucking joke. Says that stupid bullshit in fucking Roswell which is a burb of Atlanta. Lots of CDC staff live there. He licks yam tits taint the piece of shit.
Yeah, because you know, "welfare" is just full of rich con artists defrauding the system.
Yeah you just know all those unemployed, working poor, disabled and elderly are totally all just faking it, not like the hard working and totally truthfull GOP reps. /S
Even if he meant duplicative, that's bullshit. They did not take the time to learn. There's absolutely no evidence that DOGE knew what it was cutting. They went in with a bulldozer instead of a scalpel.
You don't clear cut an entire orchard because one of the apples may have a worm inside.
Also, you can't just replace a doctor or researcher or scientist or everyone with ChatGPT. Doesn't work that way. You have to know what questions to ask. You have to train the AI first. It's just software. That takes time. More time than these bozos spent thats for sure.
Yeah gosh, I don't think ai can do shit at the moment pal.
It's not a product yet.
Would you trust your life with AI? Nope, thencdc doesnt either.
These are such gutless slurs. Spineless evil in action.
It's true. Ask an AI how to cut a trapezoidal pie 19 inches by 8 3/4 inches into 17 pieces such that everyone gets the same amount of pie, and it'll do it. Unlike a person, who'll perversely just say "who makes a pie like that, you buffoon?"
Follow up question..."If AI takes the jobs, and government benefits are nonexistent, what do corporations and governments expect people to do? If there is no way to work and make money, what kind of society is that?
AI isn’t an expert at anything and isn’t capable of imagining new concepts. It’s little more than a search engine incapable of human reasoning and imagination.
@bmeiselas.bsky.social I know you don’t sleep or so it seems! I would love a Top 5 of “That was incredibly stupid “ each week. This one might be a contender.
Oh my god, the fucking nefarious parasites...
They're so fucking useless, they think everyone is too. Make them go play blindfold on the highway, and leave CDC workers alone.
Yeah. AI is not ready for primetime despite these idiots trying to push it. I literally groan whenever I call a customer service line and it tries to make me deal with a bot and end up just repeating representative indefinetly.
I am never going to be within the locus of the population, however large or small, who will take health information, advice, and/or treatment from a non-human, non-sentient, and non-educated source.

"Duplicitous" basically means deceitful, not the duplication of effort inference I guess he intended.
Our "leaders" by and large are idiots.
The word representative Rich McCormick should have used is duplicated.
But then again he is a fucking moron so he wouldn't have known the difference.
I mean, please
US, do you realise and just not care what the rest of world is seeing?
God help us.
If you are trying to explain the nuances of a policy, you are losing.
The room isn’t full of policy wonks, it’s full of emotional people screaming… Fuck the King.

He's a moron who doesn't know the meaning of simple words.
I think he may have meant "duplicative," but whatever...still wrong. 😒

Yes, they suspended their common sense when they voted for Trump.
Did we teach an LLM to extract DNA? Make EM slides?
And, as crappy as it is, it would likely make better decisions.
The GOP is deceiving America. The GOP is duplicitous.

It just need sto be artificial, not intelligent.

Stop the original sources and the AI just get stupider.

So that's bullshit too.

Had me stumped, that is.
Don’t they matter? Or is “AI efficiency” the only thing that counts?
I mean the millionaires and billionaires won’t suffer if AI takes away jobs, right? They even want to give themselves more tax breaks…
“Eat the rich!”
They're so fucking useless, they think everyone is too. Make them go play blindfold on the highway, and leave CDC workers alone.
Why aren't dems posting their townhalls?
AI points at you and laughs....
That's not even REMOTELY the case.
These people are unfit to govern.
Every single last one of them.
I pity america.
I am never going to be within the locus of the population, however large or small, who will take health information, advice, and/or treatment from a non-human, non-sentient, and non-educated source.
People develop and control the algorithms, people choose the inputs and select the desired outputs.
Install AI and we're giving those people full control over the US government.
Total loss of sovereignty .... to who?
And then AI takes that information and turns it into a dumpster fire.
But good argument!!
