Not an American, but the reported resignation process of just sending arbitrary content email with subject "resign" to "hr@opm.gov" feels like the real aim is to collect emails and response time data to establish cluster system health metric to determine which nodes can be murdered safely.
It's almost strange to me that this aspect, and stupidity of injecting non-compiling code to human mainframes collective that runs on legalese in an attempt to collect such data, seem to be rarely discussed.

Is that all it takes? Think they check DKIM and SPF?
- numpad0 2y agoIt's all completely crazy. There are rumors that some of offer emails didn't pass DMARC in the first place. Reportedly it started with someone from xAI showing up at an OPM physical location with a computer to plug into the network. People calling it coup or analogizing the ops team to Chinese Red Guards aren't exaggerating.
