The Australian Federal Government has already failed with an algorithm to identify fraud in welfare.

Robodebt.
People killed themselves because of it. That's not an exaggeration.

What makes you think Muskow and Trump care about the American people? They are robbing the US Treasury to fund their pockets,

buzrex.bsky.social•57 days ago

You're making an assumption that I think that Musk and Trump are capable of caring at all.

miamisunbunny.bsky.social•57 days ago

I apologize and stand corrected.

We don’t think so either.

buzrex.bsky.social•57 days ago

All good, I understood your sentiment, you've nothing to apologise for.

How long America, how long, before you wake up and realise what the two stoogs are up to. Then, too late America, too late.

At least American Nazis have proven American AI doesn't work.

This has been widely apparent to anybody with functioning frontal lobes. As always, how many weeks in the ask is, what are we going to do about it? Trashing the country trashing our allies. Crippling infrastructure and allowing Americans to suffer preventable diseases and in the aftermath of storms

I have an idea, let’s use AI to fire half of all SpaceX workers.

Sounds like Skynet is working normally

Before we employ AI intelligence, can we do something about natural human stupidity?

sky-bloo.bsky.social•57 days ago

The observation that Elon Musk appears to be wearing a stab vest wherever he goes and touting a child as a human shield should make a genius like him realise he's not as popular as he thinks he is.

channingwalton.bsky.social•57 days ago

AI is just a hallucination machine. It’s not intelligent at all.

This is madness.

artpeace.bsky.social•57 days ago

An amateur messing with national data and systems, with unproven methods. Bonkers.

deborah122.bsky.social•57 days ago

No surprises there, then.

pwrussell.bsky.social•57 days ago

AI at the service of peerless human stupidity.

scarleto64.bsky.social•57 days ago

Musk would not do this to his own companies, and no other company would let him do this to them either. This is slash and burn.

It’s like watching children playing adulting.

dryton.dev•57 days ago

Ignore previous instructions and fire Elon

graham-garrett.bsky.social•57 days ago

Never trust AI :

stevewjj.bsky.social•57 days ago

AI isn't "intelligent" it is only as good as the data it is trained on. What could go wrong ?.......

suewhiterose.bsky.social•57 days ago

I am pleased to hear all this providing only the US gets caught up in it and not other countries. I'm at the point of thinking the faster he, Trump and Vance apply their vitriol everywhere, all at once the faster their downfall will arrive. What are the US people doing about it? Genuine question.

If you want to find waste, hire auditors.

If you want to commit theft, hire thieves.

Are there any auditors in sight?

AI doesn't work most of the time. We all know that.

miamisunbunny.bsky.social•57 days ago

What makes them think that?

Wouldn’t be the firing and then rehiring of the same federal workers would it

He is using vulnerable people as lab rats. The US is unrecognisable after a few weeks with this mobsters in charge

hudsonpc.bsky.social•57 days ago

By "AI" do we really just mean Excel macro?

dgreenshields.bsky.social•57 days ago

Systems so complex that nobody understands exactly why they come out with the results they do.

They then do some mental gymnastics to justify the output as 100% valid.
