    It’s a cop out and a dumb one. ai is inefficient, and bad at doing human jobs cause it’s not human, useful as a tool but not on its own

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

        No. That’s not fair.

        If anyone from the media questions it, Elon will take personal responsibility by either offering an interview (IF they promise to air it unedited. And should they agree, as they probably will, he will renege because said media outlet can not be trusted.)

        Or he will challenge them to a cage fight (and then later silently renege because frankly, he is in no shape to fight even a 72 year old russian dictator.)

    Is there anyone else out there that refuse to call them by that stupid fucking name? It’s like buying into a teenaged 4chan-dwelling edgelord’s sad joke.

            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?

            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.

        Not that I’m keen on AI, but doesn’t happen anymore with o3-mini.

        Good thing is that it still lacks on complex tasks.

          It’s something to do with the word being 2 tokens and it not knowing the tokens before or after the current one.

          It’s a simple example of It’s inability to actually think and reason.

    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 at first – and then increase the rate of deployment once it had confidence in the solution and a handle on the issues that came with them.

      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.

        I worked as a consultant for a long time. I learned that anyone who starts a question with “Why don’t we just…” generally doesn’t understand the problem.
