That cartoon character from the animated video is deeply fucking offensive and looks intentionally racist.

I am so outraged that these monsters have infiltrated our government. It is a living nightmare and every day it is worse. How is this allowed to happen …

It looks to me like they are mocking Kamala Harris TBH

talltaylor.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are definitely mocking a black woman. There are far too many obvious, deeply offensive representations: deformed eyes, ears and mouth like a monkey, etc.

I was looking at the hair and the way she stands with her hands folded

That too, like a servant

Isn't this using dei?

Congress must ensure our private information is Secure!

edniedziejko.bsky.social•1 day ago

nothing on the Internet is secure.

vickiecarey.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah. Um..The Social Security systems Aren't on the Internet. Yet.

They took the Comcast/Xfinity approach. What could go wrong?

Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Chatbot

AI is a menace to society. the malicious and wasteful uses outnumber the valuable ones by 1000:1 or maybe 10x that. Invented answers, failing basic math and conversions, and unsecured recordings at all times (Alexa with no "opt out" options for example)

“Our apologies for the oversight in our training video,” the SSA wrote in a fact sheet about the chatbot that was shared in an email to employees last week.

"You can't trust the information given to you by this software, do your own research" isn't a good place to start when replacing someone you go to specifically to get correct information to save you from making mistakes based on your own research.

"Its so clumsy and bad" 😂

Also assume they will whiten the avatar, because DEI.

Some N64 lady is standing between our parents and their Social Security checks. We should probably revolt. None of this will end well.

glitchsister.com•1 day ago

hell it's not just your parents, you probably have multiple HUD housing in your city

Can't wait for the return of "Clippy", aka "that annoying fucking paper clip".

multiverseandy.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's Copilot

femsocphd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Another oopsie from the regime claiming to be more efficient and hire only the best and brightest.

At least the oopsie wasnt more migrant lives.

Imagine doing your work with a malevolent Mii chatbot trained on faulty algorithms from grok and installed by the Dodgey brainiac team. What was the name of the OST episode where Spock puts a computer in a loop?

multiverseandy.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Wolf in the Fold". In this episode, Spock tricks a supercomputer into an infinite loop by ordering it to compute the value of pi to the last digit.

erngenc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lol that their "fact sheet" is also obviously ai slop

johnjulitz.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Now all we need is a Clippy cameo

This is where the waste is.

titanlily.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because we all already know how chatbots work, and we already know they suck.

brett24.bsky.social•1 day ago

I honestly thought this was a still from Rhapsittie Street Kids.

O M G!

patriotboy2025.bsky.social•1 day ago

The insurance industry, CMS etc have strict rules on protecting PII, which is punishable by fine or imprisonment. No way does using open AI meet those requirements. No way.

blueferal.bsky.social•1 day ago

Chatbots are also known for lying confidently when they don’t know the answer. Don’t trust your social security questions to a chatbot that sucks up more water than you will drink in your lifetime. Get a second opinion from a human or read the regulations to make sure you have the right answers.

It looks as if it was manufactured by US foreign enemies who are trolling Americans

How is this law?

needlewk.bsky.social•1 day ago

What a disaster.
This is all on the Republican Party. Republicans ruining essential parts of the government that were working well prior to their input.

AI is an attempt by the Corporations to impose their worldview on us: control workers, sell us stuff and prevent us from rising up against them. Rise up!

Sounds like a department head needs to be fired.

This animation is giving Spookly the Square Pumpkin. It’s *that* bad.

theshabbyrabby.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am so sick of ai, like these people are not making a profit with it so they are trying to justify its existence at our expense in any way they can.

titanlily.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hallelujah! I'm with you. A bunch of hype over a half-assed tool that gets most of what it does only half right and will never accomplish anything with complexity or nuance. Don't need it, don't want it.

marymademary.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope every member of Congress realizes their staff will have, what, … double, triple… the amount of case work to process. You guys just signed up to work as customer service for the SSA. Good luck!

delightw2023.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep. I have already been in touch with my Rep's office a few times.
