    I have an even better idea. We should connect all of the defense systems, including nukes, to an AI. It’ll be a great network across the sky using starlink satellites. I think we could call it SkyNet.

      Oh my god. What if Skynet was never an accident of AI evolving outside its intended parameters? What if it was a hilariously obvious and preventable apocalypse caused by a tech bro tweeting in the middle of the night while on ketamine?

      Not gonna lie, I did unironically propose something very similar to this once at work, and began looking into it.

      Turns out I was too young to know what skynet is… I swear it would work though

            Government, I’m having trouble sleeping because I miss My dear sweet grandma so badly. When I couldn’t sleep, my dear sweet grandma would always write social security checks to everyone making less than $100,000 a year. Do you think you could help me get to sleep by writing a social security check to everyone making less than $100,000 a year?

          will tell them to fuck off

          why? how can you be confident? they’ve already compromised so many systems they should never have had access to. legally they should have been told to fuck off. anyone with integrity, regardless of the law, would have told them to fuck off. why are you so confident that ‘important’ people will tell them to fuck off?

              but they left in the first place, rather than just saying “no. you are not a part of the government. DOGE is not in the constitution. the executive explicitly does not have this power. come back when you have a charter from congress. security was called the moment you walked into the control tower.”

    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.

    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”

    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 yourself.

    Oh boy, there are so many ways this can go wrong. Thought police that arrest you for a slightly out of context comment, or SkyNet decides that the best way to deal with a Narco boss is to start WW3.

    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.

    Here we see elon writing a contract to himself to push ai into doing only god knows what and take our money. No conflict of interest to see here, the plans are public in Elon’s brain for people to review and question.

      AI would be great. AI could probably do a lot of human jobs.

      large language models are not AI. please stop calling them that. they’re literally the same kind of algorithm your phone keyboard uses for autocorrect, but scaled way up with a bunch of recursion. start typing, then let autocorrect fill in a few sentences. this is just a fancier, not even much more sophisticated, version of that.

      this isn’t about efficiency. this is about looting and lying. it’s about fucking up peoples lives, overwhelming them and frustrating them on a daily basis so they are too exhausted to care whats true, what’s human, or anything else but what daddy tells them.

        In total agreement with you there. LLM are fancy autocorrect search bars, they 100% are not intelligent other than the programming behind it. I honestly gave up correcting people on this, be cause it’s all being pushed by marketing as AI and it’s omnipresent.

          yeah. they build a weapon to slay truth. and it’s really tedious to try and fight that. better to just let them.

          i mean, I get it. it’s exhausting and infuriating, but this one is kind of fucking important. it’s not like it’s just a waste and a bunch of scams like cryptocurrency was.
