Nothing to see here, just Musk's team of "experts" feeding the nation's data into AI. What could go wrong? Especially if the goal is to replace a ton of government workers with AI?

"To replace the existing civil service, Musk’s allies are looking to technology. DOGE associates have been feeding vast troves of government records and databases into artificial intelligence tools, looking for unwanted federal programs and trying to determine which human work can be replaced by AI, machine-learning tools or even robots."

"As much as half the government’s nonmilitary real estate holdings are set to be liquidated, a move aimed at closing offices and increasing commute times amid sharp new limits on remote and telework. That is intended to depress workforce morale and increase attrition, according to four officials with knowledge of internal conversations at the General Services Administration, another agency taken over by Musk."

“We’ve heard from them that they want to make the buildings so crappy that people will leave,” said one senior official at GSA, which manages most federal property. “I think that’s the larger goal here, which is bring everybody back, the buildings are going to suck, their commutes are going to suck.”

In chaotic Washington blitz, Elon Musk’s ultimate goal becomes clear

Shrink government, control data and — according to one official closely watching the billionaire’s DOGE — replace “the human workforce with machines.”

You have fundamental rights.

So does everyone else.

We all need to understand both of these things.

Too many folks stop at the first.

⚠️ Aan iedereen die ik deze week de excellente Twitter<->Mastodon crossposter heb aangeraden (https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/):

Denk eens na of je retweets en quote tweets wel moét doorsturen naar Mastodon. Die dingen zijn zo intrinsiek verbonden met Twitter dat ze me hier onnutig lijken en de hoeveelheid ruis verhogen.

Je kan terug inloggen op de crossposter en je instellingen aanpassen.

En waarom schrijf ik dat eigenlijk in het Engels? Alsof iemand me kan horen. Laat staan een anderstalige.
Are we #Twitigrants somewhat of a laughing stock for pre-Musk Mastodon adopters, with our “ooh, this is so nice and quiet”?

This thread is on fire!
Describes exactly how Elon doesn't understand Twitter and how it will eventually destroy Twitter.

Anyway, my tuppence worth on Musk and Twitter. He’s in for a rocky ride, and the question for me is whether his ego is going to make him destroy Twitter. Right now, what’s pretty clear is that he doesn’t understand what makes Twitter work. 1/10

Met een gootsteen kwam hij het hoofdkantoor van Twitter op vrijdag binnen, om aan iedereen duidelijk te maken dat ze zich bij zijn overname moeten
