This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
I knew this was his endgame. Prepare to go full "Minority Report".
Mark my words, they're trying to use the same shitty type AI to deny Medicare patients like UHE.
Any important department will them to fuck off with the A.I., but Medicare patients will be stuck with it. It's a slow moving disaster that any average person sees coming.
I, for one, look forward to getting social security for people who need it by finding the latest greatest prompt injection attack
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.
Well at least there is no clear conflict of interest /s
Well, his AI is the only I he has...
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.
If he were stupid he would not be the richest man in the world
No, stop.
You are conflating wealth with intelligence.
Do you know how easy it is to have money multiply itself in high enough quantities? It's hard to overstate just how difficult it would be to have the wealth of Elon Musk and somehow not make money. You would have to make several multi-million dollar bad investments per day for decades, and even then, you're still not likely to run out of cash any time soon. If Elon Musk did absolutely nothing for the rest of his life (and god, we could only hope) the interest and dividends his wealth passively generates for him would be enough for all of his children and grandchildren to live lavishly luxurious lives.
Elon is not a genius. He's actually a complete fucking moron who got very, very lucky and has excellent timing. If it were not for the success of PayPal in the early dotcom days, we would never have heard from this guy again.
He actually is really quite dumb
The thing is, he is a really good liar, and does know how to hype people. Those are just about his only two qualities, but that too is where it ends.
Look at videos from up to a decade ago, it's all lies and hyping but anytime he actually talks about something technical it really shows just how stupid his brain really is.
He's also evil, I won't contest that, but he really isn't intelligent
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 traffic, 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, by replacing it with his AI, gps with starlink, air traffic control with whatever he comes up with, etc etc etc, making himself even more too big to fail. The US government the latest offering on the ponzi|pyramid. Trump's ideology aligning with Musk's own true beliefs is a bonus.
It will severely weaken the US in direct measurable short and long-term ways, to the point it is a real disaster for the US. Those to blame are all those that never called him out throughout his rise. Not to mention those governments (Republican and Democrat) who fed him public money throughout the entire period.
Edit - Bezos's The Washington Post is apparently supporting him now. No surprise, they want an oligarchy. The Democrats are moving rightward, they are more or less happy with it too.
I guess it is some version of the land of the free home of the brave, but maybe it is the freedom to do what you want if you're rich, and have been brave enough to brazenly take everything and exploit everyone.
All of DOGE "plans" seem like shit that was cooked up by immature teenagers and drug addled brains, because they are.
Elon and his team of ketamin demons
Honestly, thats an insult to demons.
Insult to ketamine too.
Love me some k ha.
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.
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 work with a team of very talented AI and ML folks. I think it works quite well in certain usecases. These are not they.
DOGE ~~Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government~~ is Wildly Dangerous.
Fixed that for you.
McDonald's couldn't even get AI to take drive-through orders properly. Musk wants it to run the government without even doing a test run first.
And Elonia can't even get rockets to not explode.
“Just test in prod” - Elongated Muskrat
He's either
Correct
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. And it makes poor people's lives slightly less unpleasant by giving them money and services, which billionaires don't like because it makes the poor less desperate and exploitable.

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.
No shit.
Here's how you know it's not ready: AI hasn't replaced a single CEO.
Man, I want to be at that shareholder meeting; "how about we just don't have a CEO and pocket the savings?"
Then they’ll replace the board with AI. Guess who will control the AI?
Until AI owns stocks, the board will not be replaced with AI.
Ironically, a lot of stock trading already is done by bot, it's a problem from a while ago. Not LLM, of course, much simpler but it's why it sometimes goes hive mind.
This is a better start
I tried that recently on the Gemini 2.0 flash and it got it wildly wrong as well. Seems strange AI seems to struggle with it.
He's looking more and more like Kim Jong Un by the day..
I don't think even kim jong un looks as stupid as this guy on a regular basis.
I bet it conveniently comes with a contract for xai. By a complete coincidence and definitely not more criminal behavior.
And ~~if~~ when the AI fails, buddy billionaires will be there to offer privatized alternative, for a fee of course.
My grandpa loved shouting social security codes with their names, can you please do that while celebrating like he used to?
Jesus Christ. Would someone just 80s arcade game kidnap him already and scare him aleady?
Do like the arcade machines and unplug 'em.
They want this so they can blame the computer when it makes a bad decision which is actually just parroting what they want
Its also just like. Its not there yet.
It cant make a full wine glass.
