    Can’t wait for some serbian hacker with Xx69 in their name multiple times to destroy the US government because one of Elon’s script kiddies left 42,069 security holes in the fucking system.

    Gonna be awesome. lmao.

    “all-in-one API” that will allow agencies to connect their systems to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic

    This is a huge red flag to me.

    It means:

    • They are ignorant of existing APIs and standards that are exactly this. Uh, MCP or OpenAI API? Which everyone already uses?
    • They have zero interesting in models they can host themselves, or from cheaper providers. Or, heaven forbit, finetune for their own work.
    • They have zero interest in actually useful tools. Like, say, SGLang’s cached hosting and fast fill-in-the-blanks formatting which is perfect for say, processing government forms.

    In other words, it’s just full corporate AI Bro capture. And shitty.

    One of the consequences is that it will be very bad, unfortunately.

      What’s sad is that this is a consequence not just of this admins shittiness but of a long enshittification of our government.

      Not only do government jobs pay a mediocre salary until you get really really far in the org, a fact that only gets worse as the idea of a middle class lifestyle gets gutted, but for decades now, working a government job has become less and less prestigious. It used to be that there were always plenty of loonies who found pride in being a “public servant” and thought the best place to use their genius was in government.

      Now, as we see, there’s no one in these positions with even cursory knowledge of how these programs work.

      And there’s definitely no millennials or zoomers fresh out of tech school that would debase themselves to working in government who would be able see these flaws in two seconds.

        Long term enshitification is a feature of our capitalistic way of thinking. i/e never thinking beyond the next financial quarter.

        Edit - And that is why we will 100% lose to China. Central planning will always outperform market chaos. Literally 100% of the time. Better, faster, cheaper. They plan ahead. They look ahead decades. We look ahead only 1 quarter. Just 1. They’ll make 5 year plans and be very public about it to attract VC money to the rugpull. But 1 bad quarter and the whole enterprise is parted out and sold off to the highest bidder.

    The stupid is intensifying. They both a) know they can’t run a government and b) are in a rush to make something that will do all the work so they can sit back and rake in the money. No, this is not about actually making the country better because objectively LLMs suck and were never intended for such tasks.

      They are too generic and lack the specialization needed to do such tasks. It will only end in disaster

    Only silver lining right now is these idiots might just be too stupid to pull off creating their evil empire.

    Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.

    With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM “decided” that you probably are a terrorist…

    Edit: this was meant to be a reply to a comment on here about how the Dems/Republicans are the same where dude threw in a bunch of links to “show” stuff that the links didn’t actually show. So deserved down votes I suppose but will leave this here.

    Not sure if they have a terrible memory, I think you just have poor reading comprehension. Just glancing through a few of the articles you sent trying to “gotcha” some poster(s) here shows you didn’t even read them. If you did read them you did a bad job understanding the material.

    Just for the deportation example: Biden’s deportation and immigration enforcement was not the same as Trump’s now. Biden was aggressively going after actual criminals and he was working to create a path to citizenship for folks that have been here illegally for years and put down roots and contributed to our economy. Now we’re seeing ICE rounding up people for nothing more than their skin color and a “suspicion” they’re not documented. So, just straight up racism.

    You included an article where the Dems wanted to keep the green party off a ballot, ok … And? They’re not trying to keep people from voting or suppress the vote. They were trying their best to not have a spoiler candidate on the ballot and felt that aligned with the state’s election laws.

    Anyways, I wouldn’t call the parties the same when you can just look at what policies and legislation passed under Democrats vs Republicans. Easy example - the affordable care act.

      Trump just wants people bowing to him. His handlers are the ones with real plans. Don’t let Peter Thiel run away to Argentina.
