Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency are attempting to enact what some experts have called the “largest job cut in American history“—but don’t worry, these geniuses have a solution to pick up the significant amount of slack caused by letting go of tens of thousands of domain experts and civil servants all at once: a chatbot.
According to Wired, DOGE has given about 1,500 employees at the US General Services Administration, the agency that manages federal real estate and oversees most government contracts, access to a proprietary chatbot called GSAi.
Is it OK for me to say that I have violent fantasies about Elon Musk? If I ever met him it would take real self control not to harm him
You’re not the only one.
proprietary chatbot
this won’t end well.
It’s just an open source bot that Elon had his people wrap in a script that randomly replaces its actual answer with “Elon Rules! 🎸🎶”.
So, now it’s “proprietary” and he can charge the government 3X what we had been paying the fired people.So, what, we’re just full blown speedrunning the apocalypse now, huh?
lol I bet this idiocy is even beyond Putin’s wildest dreams.
Where do I buy stock in the federal government. That shits going to the moon!
I know you jest, but treasury bonds…
How do I short this?
who let a brown woman in there
She’s actually invisible to them.
