Elon Musk wants to replace federal workers with AI.
Elon Musk is planning to replace tens of thousands of sacked government workers with artificial intelligence tools, according to US officials.
“The end goal is replacing the human workforce with machines,” a US official closely watching Doge activity told The Washington Post. “Everything that can be machine-automated will be. And the technocrats will replace the bureaucrats.”
Doge associates have already absorbed vast troves of internal data to feed its artificial intelligence tools.
Consider this use of AI:
A new investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources, its influence on the military’s operations was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a human decision.”
During the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender’s kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based. One source stated that human personnel often served only as a “rubber stamp” for the machine’s decisions, adding that, normally, they would personally devote only about “20 seconds” to each target before authorizing a bombing — just to make sure the Lavender-marked target is male. This was despite knowing that the system makes what are regarded as “errors” in approximately 10 percent of cases, and is known to occasionally mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant groups, or no connection at all.
Additional automated systems, including one called “Where’s Daddy?” also revealed here for the first time, were used specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family’s residences.
Was "Where's Daddy's" error rate better or worse than 10%? Were one out of ten families wiped out for no reason at all?

You have to really wonder what they are going to do with all the information they scrape? Are they recreating a private dossier like Hoover did over at the FBI on everyone, a la Mossad, or are they removing all the MEGA files on themselves?
They cluster bomb the airwaves and social media with some truths, half truths and full lies. They have people going so many directions you become an attention deficit which is probably their strategy.
I thought it was interesting that Musk's Starlink will be linked with the Delta flights which gives them access to everybody's phone.
What are the implications of David Rubenstein being removed (as Kennedy Center Chairman)? The old patrons will be removed; the new ones are yet to arrive?
Trump displacing Carlyle Group co-founder and Declaration Partners founder David Rubenstein could mean TechGods are supplanting private equity underwriters (PEU), or at least some of them, at the top of the political pecking order.
Back to my wise friend's comments:
The pardon process will dilute the law, irreparably. The consequences of all these erratic postures have really not been thought out well by the masses that support these chaotic jabs into the framework which holds us all together.
Tides turn, but a well moored ship remains. What they really want is justice but they will get once again JUST - US.
New boss same as the old boss. Sacks, Thiel, Andreessen, Karp, Musk, VC's....
Hell is not hot enough for them.
I expect Dante would add a new level for Techno-Optimists. That is, if they don't live forever.
