It's well documented that DOGE uses AI, and Musk has tweeted that SpaceX will be overhauling the FAA as well. It's pretty realistic to think they will (or already do) use xAI for critical processes.

DOGE makes recommendations to the president, who has the final decision making authority. The rest is pure speculation. “It is very reasonable to believe this thing that confirms all my biases so therefore it must be true”

  I would argue that developing those recommendations is a "safety critical" task. Especially given that just in the past few days they accidentally fired, then re-hired, a bunch of nuclear weapons safety workers.

    That is the MO. Elon has stated publicly that if you don’t have to put something back, you haven’t cut enough. That is the idea. You cut things and see what was necessary.

      That might work if you're slashing headcount at a social media company (though I would argue that it doesn't), but the stakes are a bit higher when you're responsible for things like feeding hungry people, curing disease, or keeping planes in the sky.

        “Sitting pretty”, yes, that’s what I’m doing. I’ll end this here since you don’t seem to have anything else relevant to say, and instead prefer to stalk my profile. Enjoy. It’s good reading if I do say so myself.

        Worth noticing that it _doesn't even work at a social media company_. Twitter is a husk of its former self, with all the problems that were if not solved, at least mitigated, back in full force (child porn, bots, impersonators). It's just kept alive because it's a honeypot for right wing nutjobs now (which I'm sure can't read an SEC filing and will claim it's "operating better than before"). It'll be a disaster for the soon-to-be-previous most powerful country on earth...

        Considerably less.

  > DOGE makes recommendations to the president, who has the final decision making authority. It's clearly being run by Elon Musk, but he has not been nominated or confirmed for any official position. DOGE appears to have unprecedented access to systems that usually have safeguards in place. What do you think people should do in this situation if they are concerned about abuse of power?
  - imgabe 2y ago
    DOGE is a rebranding of USDS which was established under Obama. All their authority to access systems derives from that. They have read-only access to systems and the “abuses” seem to be publicly posting what the government is spending money on. Why do you think it’s a problem for the public to know where the government spends money?
    - moolcool 2y ago
      Government spending is mostly already public information. Ironically, it's DOGE itself which is trying it's best to act in secrecy.
      - amazingamazing 2y ago
        The details of said spending is very much not public, and even if it was (it’s not) - it’s not accessible. If it's not true, would love to see links where I can see everything easily.
      - imgabe 2y ago
        If they are cloaked in secrecy how do you know what you’re even mad about? The people who are tweeting everything they do are acting in secret? If all they are doing is posting information that was already public then what exactly is your problem?

  > DOGE makes recommendations to the president Trump is so far gone in his dementia, he can't even make eye contact anymore. You see this in all the videos. He's basically King Théoden at this point. Not even Musk's kid respects him. He's so disabled, he's sending his VP to do the job, and we all know how much of a paranoid child he is, from the past term (when he went into a Colonoscopy without anesthesia just to not have to give the nuclear codes to the VP).
