Richest Person In the World Stops Aid To Poorest People in The World
- the thing with this is, why give financial aid to the rest of the world when your own citizens lack basic human things like healthcare and free education?_niko
- The Mook Be Mookedutopian
- the thing with this is... WTF Niko??? Poor healthcare and education are political choices. People in developing countries are fucked by US consumerismIanbolton
- Isn’t aid to the poor also a political choice? Aren’t American poor also in need? I don’t know, it’s kind of odd to not protect citizens from mass shootings_niko
- Opioids, homelessness and the billion other things wrong with the US but they’re able to send weapons, cash and manpower to all corners of the globe?_niko
- Just seems backwards and odd. Ideally they can do it all, but take care of your own house first. Then the world’s poor, then on bombs._niko
- But if you’re saying US consumerism is causing droughts and famine half way across the world or causing poverty it might be a stretch. What isn’t a stretch is_niko
- American weapons causing famine, poverty and devastation. Buuuut having said all that I do support the US and other countries helping Ukraine, Taiwan,_niko
- ...South Korea etc so wtf do I know lol l_niko
- But also I don’t believe for a second that by them cutting aid to the poor countries of the world will be for the benefit of their poor citizens, it’ll instead_niko
- Go to enriching the Uber rich through tax cuts or big government contracts. It’s a fucking mess._niko
- I've heard American's being interviewed about their thoughts on this and they'd say "why are we sending money to X when our own are not being cared for"Ianbolton
- But then refuse a National Health Service type system because they think they live in a meritocracy and if you work hard you don't die on the streetIanbolton
- The whole capitalist lie is bullshit and the poor are where they are because the government chooses them to be.Ianbolton
- yeah Ian it's bonkers...any hint of social services and it's straight up "communism" to them_niko

DOGE Teen Owns ‘Tesla.Sexy LLC’ and Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers
Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

I'd be a bit panoid about my data If I was a US Citizen right now

For those QBNers who have children... Do you feel like the world you have brought your kids into is a fair world, that they will have a future in?
I would be infinitely sad if I had brought kids into this fucked up place. What happened?

All the ways Elon Musk is breaking the law, explained by a law professor
- instrmntl4
Apparently he is going to looking the FAA and air traffic control to make things safer? What a mess. He’s scary. It’s bad enough teslas crash into everything.
- What could go wrong ...and if something does go wrong, just how much has to go wrong before there is any accountability.webazoot
- They want to privatize everything, and I imagine that after that, the entirety of life's necessary services becomes a subscription model from hell.mg33
- so Elon is an expert in air traffic control too? he really is a geniusHAL9001

Elon Musk's Henchmen Feeding Sensitive Government Data Into AI
- Terrifying.Continuity
- and insane.renderedred
- That’s highly illegal.instrmntl
- nothing seems to be illegal now in the usa.renderedred
- Yeah, all bets are off. Law is completely out the window now.Continuity
- apparently there's an executive order giving them access to data ignoring any security...renderedred
- Unless those young men get us into countless wars and rack up $37 trillion in debt with nothing to show for it I’ll trust them any day over shit politicians.IRNlun6
- "We will coup whoever we want" remember. Musk will 100% push for war with anyone who gets in the way of his lithium.i_monk
- actions > wordsIRNlun6
- ...but good point. I had not heard that before. As much as I don’t like Bolivia and South American Socialists it was a shitty thing to say.IRNlun6
- move fast and break things... that enemy from within thingy trumpo pulled before the election is coming self referential.. if they cock up enough u its highlyneverscared

- Why won’t Wired write about corruption? Plenty to find yet...IRNlun6
- no ...it needs healing...breaking makes things worse.neverscared
- write them an emial and ask them ...neverscared
- People robbing us need healing?IRNlun6
- Does Hillary need healing for fucking up Libya?IRNlun6
- These crooks have self correcting mechanisms. Any actions towards breaking them up and you see a wave of articles telling you how bad breaking them would be.IRNlun6
- thats how the information age works... u read articles and project the future... in this case it will be a deep fall into decline ... soon u will beg forneverscared
- healing when your bones are broken... while u just though they were triming some fat they spiraled into decline.neverscared
- and we can all c it evolve... we will c how bad it will be... jan.6 exponentialy grown to the power of 64 is my guess.. but iam bad at math. of course i dontneverscared
- want see decline happening... but then i would never vote for donny dork and his olligarchs.. so we have to deal with their madness if we want or not.neverscared
- IRNlun6 how can you be so naive to think Trump and Musk are anti-corruption?yuekit
- This is treasury panicking because they are being investigated. Little to do with the identity of the investigators. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.monNom
- Or maybe they're just freaking out because no one explained any of this to them?yuekit
- Imagine you're just doing your job and a bunch of Elon Musk henchkids walk in and start demanding access to everything.yuekit
- What could go wrong? What an idiotic, mega-retarded, ass clown!utopian
- Hey all, so we’re going to looking for corruption and are starting with US A.I.D. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks! D.O.G.EIRNlun6
- dont come crying when it goes tits up...your bombastic over enthusiasm and trust into billionares cleaning corruption is naive at best...neverscared
- we will all witness how their -enemy from withing- will be self referential and at what scale.. if the scale is at their wealth it will be fundamental forneverscared
- american civil life.neverscared
- None of you seem to be in favor of corruption. You’re against these current actions and the people involved. You’re skeptical of their motivations.IRNlun6
- talking about corruption... looks like the whole operation is against federal law anyhow...the judge blocked it... but u for sure love all that banana republicneverscared
- hustle mush and entourage are pulling... well well well it was clear from the start when a convicted felon is your partner...neverscared
- brilliant idea to trust trump who had to pay hundreds of millions for corruption to clean up corruption...neverscared
- his order to pause the administration's actions was not a decision on the employees' request to block the administration's efforts to quickly destroy the agencyIRNlun6
- he block the timing, not the whole operationIRNlun6
- Must be nice to be a government employee. In the private sector you get fired and you’re fired. You’re lucky if you get severance.IRNlun6
- But government? Hey it’s not their money anyways so take your time.IRNlun6
- Endless budget, don’t have to perform, and they don’t even have to account for where they’re allocating our taxes. You support that?IRNlun6
- Well most people would agree we need to have a government. I don't think it's actually true that "they don't have to account where they're allocating ouryuekit
- taxes." Where did you get that idea? What do you think Trump and the GOP are spending so much time negotiating with their tax and spending deal?yuekit
- Private employees attempt to block boss from accessing their work computer...
Looks a bit suspicious, no?monNom - This is just Drain The Swamp 2.0, i.e. the opposite of what it claims to be.i_monk
- they're feeding it in to azure AI, which is MS attempt at an institutional level GPT. I don't, but i believe in work we can use it for staff info...kingsteven
- I'll be amazed if feeding all this data into an AI results in anything usefulyuekit
- I'm sure the AI will be able to find things that look like redundancies but most of the context is going to be missingyuekit
- it's designed to do exactly what they say they're doing with it tbf. its great for analysing excel spreadsheets and word documents.kingsteven
- i imagine they'll end up finding far more overspending on things they don't want to cut. but do whatever they wanted to do in the first place anywaykingsteven
- Yeah if you look at the US budget there are two big expenditures...milit... and welfare. No one wants to cut either of them.yuekit
- I was joking earlier it'll end up being like Twitter... they'll cut a bunch of essential functions but still end up losing money overall.yuekit

- This has to be bruising Trump's ego.dbloc

An idea, and maybe who cares etc - but we have a Politics thread and a Trump thread, both hidden from cover for good reason... up until recently Elon was just a doofus not seen on cover often, but now he's 99% 'politics' and littering the cover so...
- It was funner when when were goofing on Grimes and secret kids named Xtro or whatever but it's just a Crystal Light Trump thread now I dunnoprophetone
- Upvote or die https://www.qbn.com/…********

Next thing for Musk, the Pentagon and Education...
How a non-elect billionaire can access all this power is beyond me... The USA really is one of a kind country
- yuekit1
As usual the truth is much dumber than you expected...it looks like Musk and his DOGE co-workers are collecting information from various government departments and then uploading it all to Grok.
They are probably expecting that Grok will be able to figure out ways for the US government to save money.
- news just said he now has Pentagon access lolYakuZoku
- DARPA will kill that mo-fo, the problem might solve itselfYakuZoku
- Its all just crazyinstrmntl
- Makes sense. Probably using some flavour of grok as a classifier to find unusual documents/similar documents. Essentially a search engine.monNom
- Maybe some sort of network analysis to figure out how things are connected. AI is good at those kind of things.monNom
- I think they're probably just looking for efficiencies. But the idea that AI can come up with anything meaningful is lolworthy.yuekit
- LOL
Grok is a LLM aka bullshit machine lol
There's no real reasoning
These people are dumb as rocksgrafician - Sure, you can use ML to process - that's another story - but do they know or want to actually do their jobs?grafician
- considering the alternative - ie a giant accounting firm going through everything by hand - it’s only tractable to us AI to find the needles in the haystack.monNom
- the speed of AI is so great that they appear to be able to find problems within days that might take an army of accountants years. Scammers should be afraid.monNom
- The cloud of complexity that usually conceals frauds is going away as a result of these new tools — there definitely seems to be some panic out there.monNom
- You realize they haven't actually found any fraudulent spending yet right?yuekit
- These people just make a bunch of noise on social media, misrepresent what something says and then cancel spending they don't like.yuekit
- THIS!
There is no AI to "upload and find the frauds" it's infuriating to see people this dumbgrafician - You cannot drain the swamp with AIgrafician
- Is it possible COVID just made everyone stupider? I can't explain it otherwise.yuekit
- How do you suppose fraud detection systems work?monNom
- The only fraud that's been uncovered so far is DOGE itself. Apparently they broke the law in how they accessed the government payment systems.yuekit
