they should try and replace some executives with AI, seems like there is way more room for improvement there.

At the very least they should be held accountable for their actions. Weird how ruining people's lives is rewarded and celebrated with bonuses.

  It makes sense if ruining lives is good for the company, firing and layoffs that are /necessary/ are hard for anyone with empathy. They should be rewarded for doing that.

arguably one of the best cases for AI, it can definitely spin anything to shareholders

  Maybe not. You're absolutely right, Charles Schwab, we should cut 10% of our workforce tomorrow!

  We tried it. DOGE was a complete failure of tech startup idiots asking models questions as if they were oracles and blindly trusting them to make subjective decisions about which Congressionally-created programs we should kill. Some of the tech were smart enough to realize how much damage they did and got out quickly.

    There’s a trend of software people in particular thinking that their expertise applies outside of their domain, and then causing a mess. DOGE was probably the world’s most spectacular example of this in action.

      USDS and Code For America were reasonable, level-headed, modest efforts at improving government for the people using tech experts. They tried to work within the existing orgs and within the existing authorities to improve services via tech projects. DOGE only existed because voters were convinced to hate the faceless people who work in government instead of hating the rigid legal requirements and checkbox system that every government employee is forced to follow.

  Adversarial inputs at the level of the government somewhat fascinate me. (aeons old blackmail tactic requires more work than the ability to select which of two data batches is more aligned with adversarial behavior)

That’s very appealing, the problem is the prompts control the results to such a degree, the person composing the prompts are the executives and at that point, you have not done anything.
