ProPublica obtained records showing how a DOGE software engineer with no health care or government experience created an AI model to identify contracts to kill at the VA. @bxroberts.org takes us through what we learned when we asked experts to review the model’s underlying instructions and code ⤵️
We live in the dumbest timeline I swear to god. Its like a country run by Mr Bean that hated people more.
Elect dumbshits and what do we expect
Is that piece of shit the reason I can no longer order my hearing aid supplies?

@davidgerard.co.uk Just in case you haven't already been sent this a zillion times.
The DOGE tool provides a disturbing glimpse into how the Trump administration is allowing AI to guide critical cuts in services. For the full story by @bxroberts.org, @vernalcoleman.bsky.social and @ericumansky.bsky.social:
Good ol' AI. Another way to assure erasure of the humanitarian spirit.
This is beyond reckless, and these people need to be held accountable
It's just incredible and those involved will never be held responsible.
Interesting that he completely skipped the business analysis step software developers typically do before writing any code (or giving directives to an AI). This involves an Analyst typically a Business or Systems Analyst the meets with the users and builds the requirements. Dev 101.

You may be horrified, angry, outraged, stunned, incredulous but ultimately unable to do anything about the systematic destruction of government agencies and services. But it's necessary to be reminded that one man and one political party is behind this and its was voted for by your countrymen.
Pathetic
What a sad little bastard. Being a bootlicker won't protect you in the end, dude.

Analogous to guns. It’s true that the gun itself is not doing the killing but letting guns loose everywhere is a horrible idea. AI can and has done really good stuff but so susceptible to causing huge damage whe just let loose.
