Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.
Doesn't sound like very good protection. It should be illegal to use "AI" like this, making critical decisions with a technology well known for making massive errors is so fucking stupid I can't even.
But it brings profits to tech companies run by centibillionaires on their way to becoming trillionaires. And that's the point of human existence.

Yeah I'm afraid we're gonna miss the boat on this one too just like we did with social media, we learned nothing.
Plenty of people know what's up. The ones not learning the lessons are sociopaths who serve only themselves (and they know too but they don't care), society's most ignorant and gullible, and people so consumed with resentment that they've lost all purpose but to hurt.

That's not how I meant it when 10 years ago talking about regulations being a bad thing.
I meant starting with copyright =\
"AI tool".
I live in Russia and I'm pissed that they are making its gang in power look almost competent in comparison.
Anyone who says "regulation is bad" is attacking the problem with too blunt an instrument. It depends which regulation, who it serves, and how well it has worked and can be expected to go on working. The urge to get rid of regulations is either driven by corrupt profiteering or by an ideology that's too crude for the real world.

A PowerPoint presentation made public by the Post claims that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used the AI tool to make “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections”, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.
The Post spoke to three HUD employees who told the newspaper AI had been “recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations”.
Oh, good. Everything was feeling a little too calm, so of course they're doing this right fucking now.
Left needs to use LLM to counter this nonsense. Like, use LLM to patch loopholes and add traps to prevent further LLM use.
It’s not about LLM being unfit for this job, it’s more like we don’t have the manpower to defend against this mass-produced surgical sabotage.

Anyone who does this either doesn't understand how generative AI works or does understand and is just using it as an excuse to deregulate.
It is the second thing. They could just delete the regulations they don't like outright, inserting AI into the process is just to pretend it was some logical process.

Yes. That's what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

I mean, what do they have to lose? Just a little wasted time subpoenaing some CEOs and acting flabbergasted while they blatantly lie about not knowing what was going on.
And then politicians using the insane logic of, "if you didn't know this would fuck everyone, then why'd you let us buy it to fuck people???"

Oh shit sorry though you were talking about a different post. Yikes, sorry again

Oh shit sorry, my bad! Thought you were replying to about a different post. Yikes, sorry again

Is there is a list of employees of DOGE? I would like to write them letters.

Imagine a junior dev called "Big Balls" starting up Claude Code and telling it "Hey I need you to make this app great, remove all unnecessary code" and then just accepting whatever it proposes. This is an app with no unit tests, no dev environment, running in production, and if it crashes people die in concentration camps.
Literally vibe coding a country.

The People Carrying Out Musk’s Plans at DOGE
I think several of them have quit by now, but I'm sure they would still appreciate your helpful feedback.

There's one who's dad is a professor at a university. You could write to the university about it. They would like that a lot I think.

I think we could do better than letters. maybe a few packages.

This is reminding me of those pc optimizer tools like CCleaner that promised to find a bunch of things to uninstall and redundant/trash files to delete and make your pc 3000x faster, but ended up breaking your system.
-
I wonder if those using the tool are prepared for "Unforeseen Consequences"...
Eh, who am I kidding. Of course they're not.
Of course they are, the tool is the excuse and the "unforeseen consequences" are the goal.

🤨 CCleaner never failed me. Even ran it on non-critical servers to see if it would break shit. Not one time did it introduce a breaking change. Maybe it's different now?

Because DOGE is still running on Elon Musk's strategy of "move fast, break things, and don't fix anything until shit's on fire". People won't be dying in concentration camps because of DOGE, they'll just be homeless and probably half-dead of starvation (because of the repeal of the PFDA).

Maybe ccleaner was fine, there were a bunch of these tools and ccleaner is the one i remembered the name. Wasnt really trying to criticize ccleaner specifically

CCleaner actually worked as intended for a long time until it enshittified. It's also less relevant in the age of fast as fuck SSDs over HDDs to need to clean up temp files and stuff to make the PC faster. Also Disk Clean Up is essentially what CCleaner did already built into Windows.
