    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”

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You generally won’t understand another person (and adversary especially) if you don’t see how their actions perfectly make sense for them, and without conspiracies.

    So - there is one matching variant, that Musk sincerely hates bureaucratic kinds of power, but not proprietary kinds of power. Replacing a bureaucrat with (some imagined good) AI in another assumption would be replacing a mediocre human with inherent lust for power with an unreliable automaton, but without lust for power. The good part here is that humans are unreliable too and working bureaucracies compensate for that.

    The bad part is that for every failure a person should be responsible proportionally to their input. I’m not sure they’ll do that, or I’m sure they won’t.

      That would make sense if corporate bureaucracy was not bureaucracy. But it is.

      source
      • rottingleaf@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yes, but corporate bureaucracy is someone’s property, so ultimately there is a responsible person, always.

    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.

      Yeah, but you and much of the business world have intelligence and strategy. Elon is the guy who thinks he can just pay some Chinese gamer to play a game for him, then pretend he did it himself; that’s his version of “brilliant strategist.”

      It’s no wonder he can’t figure out how to automate anything safely or correctly, because he doesn’t actually understand how to do anything himself, and he can’t just pay some Chinese rando to do it for him.

    Elon is the sort of person to (pay someone) to play universal paperclips and then wonder why they didn’t ask the AI to instead make money.
