For those that have attended a Christian wedding ceremony there's often a biblical passage read about the need for the man and woman to break ties with their parents and create a new family.

- But why should I give a crap what it says in your cult's shitty book full of rape, murder, incest, and other bullshit?

Orders will be fucked up on a random basis. At some point a person with allergies will get sick.

Does that happen already? Of course it does, but there are people in the immediate loop who can act and are accountable. This is about reducing staff to as near zero as possible, so when things go bad there will be no reliable human backup.

Welcome to the future where your well being is now 100% disposable.

Simple fact: Meta is an antisemitic Nazi trash company. They banned many people for posting links to the HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY TRUST and have refused to reverse that blindingly antisemitic decision.

Nobody in their right mind would EVER want Zuck's Nazi Shitbag Company to have the kind of access to their life that "AI Glasses" feeding their entire life into a server would provide.

Submission + - DOGE Developed Error-Prone AI Tool to "Munch" Veterans Affairs Contracts

Required Snark writes: According to ProPublica

As the Trump administration prepared to cancel contracts at the Department of Veteran Affairs this year, officials turned to a software engineer with no health care or government experience to guide them.

The code, using outdated and inexpensive AI models, produced results with glaring mistakes. For instance, it hallucinated the size of contracts, frequently misreading them and inflating their value. It concluded more than a thousand were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

The programmer who wrote the code had 15 years of experience with no formal AI training. He had previously automated manual processes at his own almost failed startup. The review tool code is posted here. The contracts selected were labeled "MUNCHABLE." It does not appear that anyone in DOGE checked his code or how the results were used. He was terminated after he was interviewed by Fast Company.
