A think tank with ties to right-wing billionaires Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Charles Koch, the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI), is pushing a radical plan to replace large swaths of the federal government with artificial intelligence.
Overwhelming and that's how they like it. How dare these men come into our government and decide who will live and who will die? Isn't that the bottom line? Who gets to be part of the future and who is left behind? This new model of machine decision-making is horrifying. And we all know how Grok has been programmed, right? So these AI models the techbros are shoving down our throats are programmed by...men. And these men do not care about humanity. Their worldview is that the weak should die, and the strong should be weeded out for skin color, baby bearing and loyalty to their puppet.
The whole point to all this is to centralize power and control and eliminate human beings who must be paid a salary. And, of course, private companies will bill the government for the service provided by this AI.
When money isn’t enough for the billionaire pervs they will try and grab any morsel of power they can, especially if it squashes the hands that feed them. How long before we rise up and eat the rich;)
Funny how their sole focus seems to be on the public sector where those "can't make in the private sector" government dunces work. It's a twofer. Get rid of the workers and get rid of those pesky regulations. Free reign to the corp and tech bro (self proclaimed) geniuses.
That's why they want the shutdown. Getting rid of govt workers during shut down is the prefect time to set their AI free. But dont forget they already have murdered thousands: "Pure cruelty. Pure waste. We’ve repeatedly written this year about the staggering damage done by DOGE’s clownishly arrogant annihilation of USAID: children starving to death in war zones while already-purchased food aid rotted on shelves because the people in charge of distributing it had been fired; babies dying of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa because Elon Musk’s crack team of geniuses decided treating them for pennies a day was too much bother—or, what might be worse, just callously turned off their spigot of money without bothering to figure out what it was for. The toll is unimaginable. We owe it to the dead to remember. We owe it to their loved ones to fix it." - Bulwark

suffocatingly depressing... may we have some AI brains on the left to throw up walls
