So, let me get this straight - we don't trust students to use AI to produce accurate assignments, but we trust DOGE to use it to decide who stays and who goes?

Is this the AI tool they will use?

Dear Grok, please write me 5 unverifiable bullet points that you would evaluate as mission-critical for my job.

dkmarsh.bsky.social•1 day ago

To be fair, we don't trust DOGE, period.

Exactly what I thought: if you answer the email, some program's going to search it for keywords, just like a job application. No keywords, no job. And they'll whine it's too many emails to have real people go through them so they just *have* to use tech with like, a 40% success rate.

Yes, that's about right. Musk and his gamer crew know best.

Honestly, my email response would just try to jailbreak grok.

AI shouldn't be used to do our thinking for us. Machines can't think. If we rely on external calculating tools,we fail to create much needed neural pathways&logical relations
We become dumb
Why do you think the uptick in digital tech seems to correlate w/the emergent idiocracy of these modern times?

thisgrayarea.bsky.social•1 day ago

If you dont see a correlation, perhaps that is the sign of a lost ability to think for yourself?

A gov that relies on AI to do all the thinking is a government ran by idiots.

We can't abdicate responsibilities as humans to be discerning&compassionate.
Governance must have heart.
Love is the answer to why machines can't think and the reason AI should not be trusted to govern or even moderate.

Also- “justify your job to the mission” when you have no clue what the actual mission is… outside of terror, mayhem and more money in billionaires’ pockets… how does one construct that email?

The venn diagram of people who don't trust AI accuracy and the people who think DOGE can use it to make accurate management decisions is two separate circles that never touch.

His punishment will be to write a 100 page essay explaining why fascism is a bad idea. With AI of course!

Of course. Whatever the result, they will decide to fire X% of employees and say "the machine/facts" did it. Before AI, all the consultants of the world were paid to do the same job with some beautiful but empty ppts.

Wonder what Musk's response would be if employees at his companies just asked AI to do their jobs. I'm sure that'd go over just fine.

Who is this “we” ? Musk might trust it but I bet “we “ the people don’t. AI is going to be more harmful than beneficial. I said that when I first heard about it and I believe it just as much now.
