So now Target has ruined Donovan. You know you’re old when your music has left the elevators AND the grocery stores, and is now chopped up into 15s cable ad blasts

In the absence of other likely motivations for DOGE rummaging through federal data repositories and databases, how cynical is it to wonder if the real value of the op is to copy the tasty bits into a private LLM? The rest just seems performative to entertain the red hats, hardly worth the squeeze

If our reps (and more of us, frankly) had Rachel Maddow’s spine, we wouldn’t be in such hell right now.

Thank you for being honest @maddow.msnbc.com

Taking a look at the other place, anyone else just snorting at the fake surveys he’s posting? They’re always a graphic of “final results”, highly improbable results too, even for that population. Similar to “isn’t elon fantastic? 85% yes, 15% no 😂 Is he just pretending to be five years old?

It’s not about efficiency.
It’s not even about money.

It’s about sucking all the data out of our government agencies and ballooning his LLM.

It’s about ego and power.

So many sharp edged blondes spitting venom for him

~2012 new regs protected PII used in gov agencies. Eg. if you failed to protect ssn data while processing Medicaid, you’d lose SSA access and be basically shut down. My agency spent years and millions of $ to upgrade security HW, SW, and processes to comply. But sure, buncha tech bros, have at it!

Now the EU? And then maybe the UK? Is there no one manning the off switch to Mr Toad’s ride of insanity here? 🤢

I worked years in social services IT. We spent an incredible amount of time and effort to protect PII of clients, and they put up with all the processes to keep their PII private too. It was a necessary PITA. But we’re ok with an unelected ego-tripping billionaire waltzing away with all that info? 😡

This is a cross between a hockey game at the Gahden and people at the rail screaming for a setlist. Wtf is happening

tfw someone you follow posts divisive jargon, tacked on, irrelevant to the point. It’s hard to hear “boomer” spit out from people whose posts are otherwise thoughtful and worthy. Make the point about the action or the intent, don’t hurtfully label and generalize by age. You’re better than that

I am really sick of my house feeling like it explodes every time Elon tosses another batch of satellites up there. The sonic booms are like a 6.5 earthquake right under the house. 😡

This RFK Jr is the fourth nightmare appointment. I’m afraid the plan is to use the recess workaround since no one would think these would pass even this senate 🫣
