That’s because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important. From their point of view, government is just a thing that takes money from them and spends it on people who don’t deserve to live because they’re not asshole billionaire techbros.

kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 month ago
He’s either
- an incompetent moron who thinks AI eventually will be like in the movies, you just need to push throught its teething pains,
- someone that tries to destroy the government and its services through weaponized incompetence, so they can be privatized,
- both, because I saw way too many things in real life.

Looks like Musk is using the Japanize “drying river”-model that’s like starter lever shit in economics. Doing that on a society level is insanely stupid.
NovaOG@lemm.ee 1 month ago
He seems to go on these benders, that probably involve copious amounts of uppers, where he get these bright ideas. The fact that someone like that has control over our whole government and economy is scary.

I know you’re joking, but it’s really dangerous to assume your enemy is an idiot. He isn’t stupid, he’s evil. If he were stupid he would not be the richest man in the world clawing still more gold into his hoard.

Musk’s various ponzi schemes - up to the Artemis-killing SpaceX fiasco, were coming due. Trump provided the opportunity for him to pivot into government, making himself too big to fail.
It will severely weaken the US. Those to blame are all those that never called him out throughout his rise.

The most frustrating part is that both the republican senators and house members KNOW this makes no sense, but they don’t have the balls to say anything. Our government is so fucked.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Every Republican in Congress that isn’t speaking up (so all of them) are literal traitors to our nation. And we’re paying them to be traitors.

SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s safe to assume anyone not speaking out now is complicit
melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
it’s not about sense. it’s about derealization, overwhelming, doing their best to “flood the zone with shit”. makes people give up. makes people not care about the truth. makes people forget there is such a thing as truth, and cleave to simple bullshit tribal identities.
they kind of need this, because everything they want to do is fucking monstrous, and if anyone ever talked about it honestly at scale, they would all be hanged or beheaded in about five minutes. it’s their only hope of keeping power. chat bots are a great tool for making it happen.

Make solutions in search of problems while collecting big tech premiums. If anyone accuses you of wasteful spending call them science illiterate to turn the public against them to divert the attention away from you.

I will be the first to lean into the fact that over the next 5 years, workflow in every company will change dramatically. It’s going to be like the shift from no one having email, to everyone doing business by email.
But you know what’s a bad idea? Rawdogging that change in real time, on spec, with your human workflow staff out in the street, and your staff are politically-appointed children, all while things like critical infrastructure, healthcare, nukes, air traffick, and the military are your “in production” assets that might go down. All to try and be the guy that shoves his AI in the gap.
All governments moved to email slowly because, among other reasons, email is inherently insecure. Email use by governments, records laws, and encryption standards progressed together. None of those types of knock-ons are considered here.

They want this so they can blame the computer when it makes a bad decision which is actually just parroting what they want
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Assuming we correct course and stop our spiral into authoritarianism in 4 years, we’re going to have to completely rebuild our entire federal tech infrastructure. It simply can’t be trusted after these traitors. The possibility of backdoors is simply too high. It’s going to cost billions and billions of dollars.
We’re all going to need new Social Security numbers, because this dumbfuck now has them all on his private servers.

SabinStargem@lemmings.world 1 month ago
I like AI, but it definitely isn’t ready for something so important as governance.
Which is why it is perfect for DOGEbags: They want to break everything, and just say the AI is at fault. Odds are that they will blame gay furry hackers for trying to ruin everything.

Are they going to outsource data entry to india? All AI “benefits” are almost solely derived from outsourcing.
Who am I kidding, this is probably just a scheme to get the government to pay for “Grok” which might as well be a word that means “garbage”

The overall goal is to cut the agency’s budget by fifty percent. Shedd suggested using AI to analyze contracts for redundancies, root out fraud, and facilitate a reduction in the federal workforce by automating much of their work.
I am bullish on AI in the long run.
I am skeptical that given the state of affairs in 2025, you can reasonably automate half of the federal government, via AI or any other means.
I also don’t think that the way to do this is to lay off half of the federal workforce and then, after the fact, see what can be automated. If you look at the private sector automating things, it tends to hedge its bets. Take self-service point-of-sale kiosks. We didn’t just see companies simply lay off all cashiers. Instead, we saw them brought in as an option, then had the company look at what worked and what didn’t work – and some of those were really bad – and then increase the rate of deployment.
