- We dedicate the whole free section of this episode to Musk’s takeover of the federal government. We got audio from a meeting in which a Musk ally laid out their plans for AI across the government, and revealed who is now the head of HR for DOGE. In the subscribers only section, we talk about how your public library probably already has a bunch of AI slop.

Well you know what. Citizens, with our tax dollars, are the shareholders and if services by the government are disrupted, it's going to get ugly.
Unfortunately the government is also a monopoly, the difference is they also set the rules, so they cant be held accountable, no matter how terrible it's ran 😂
Around 21:20 - Uh... no... if you say "that's illegal" and your boss says "well, try to do it anyway", your boss is telling you to break the law. If their intent is to follow the law, they don't say "keep going and see if you hit a roadblock". They already did. "It's illegal" is the roadblock.
The roadblocks you might hit after that are law enforcement / the courts finding out and enforcing the law. It's like saying "ok, we're stealing this car, we know it's illegal, but let's see if we can just do it anyway".
I mean, yeah, they aren't saying "the goal here is specifically to break this law" but that kind of moustache-twirling villain is a media trope divorced from reality. People break laws because there is something they want to do and the fact that doing it is illegal isn't enough to deter them. Which is _exactly_ what that "roadblock" quote expresses.
One percent of government employees took Musk (?) upon that threat.
WE DON’T CONSENT TO THREATS!
That attitude lost at the ballot box.
@rightflag192 you're right bootlicking won at the ballot box
I mean if you already planned on retiring next year and your boss offered to pay you out a year early who wouldn't
Youth and intelligence does not equate with experience and wisdom. There needs to be a balance. Youth need to be encouraged to listen but so too the experienced personnel.
Oh there is no intelligence, they're all yuppies who went to private schools what their daddy's paid for. Out of touch Narcisists excel at hiring other out of touch Narcisists 😂
No, big disagree. Elon's youth squad rocks!
@rightflag192 you love big balls and the rest of the doge bags?
Its more that, unlike a tech company, your also going to be dealing with decades of tech debt and legacy systems written in cobalt, or whatever proprietary crap IBM was pushing 40 years ago and then abandoned all support for.... They won't have any understanding of these systems and that system was deliberately not changed because it interacts with thousands of other legacy proprietary systems... most banks and gov systems still use caprat, because its old, reliable, efficent and more secure than modern web based tech, still use stuff from the 70s and 80s, its not like upgrading one system because then you need to upgrade hundred's.
Of others which ALL have been deliberately neglected from constant budget cuts, thst missing money, went on to be huge government contracts by those same w&kers who lobied for the cuts and caused the problems, they are now being paid to fix the problems they caused by purposely making it impossible to export a data base from to upgrade in the first place!!!
more like "naive"
Better Help is a Scam. Please remove them as a sponsor.
It's hard enough out there for journalists. I don't care who they take as a sponsor I just want their jobs to still be around
Thanks for this report
"Biden didn't have the authority to cut student loan debts tho"
What could possibly go wrong 🫠
Also, the idea that federal HR is "woke" is-at least in the bits of the federal government I know about-totally absurd. DEIA policies / staff in federal HR are there to reduce how much the federal government gets in trouble for violating civil rights and disability laws, and they do that through a mixture of genuine compliance and suppressing complaints. It's just pragmatic "we don't care that much either way but we don't want to get in trouble" kind of stuff.
38:00 conservatives playing the victim and demanding privilege... but they actually do feel marginalised lol
they powerful already have data on ppl, that’s how they blackmail. Our apps collect and resale to customers/ companies who wants them; concluding the company you work for domestic or foreign 😶
It sounds like their trying to digitize the currency 💵.. I’m hearing that a lot of the people who operate the treasury, would skimmed money off the top before they push it out to the public; and would have the 🇺🇸 ppl play musical chairs to the fix system.
Another footnote, the healthcare industries are recirculating the medicare grants through various of healthcare providing programs whom are industrially owned by the same ppl; and the healthcare industry would skimmed money and fix w-3 from other owned centers, and would invest money into other industries non related to healthcare. All of the mismanaged funds are affecting the overall economic ecosystem. Healthcare center, insurance, and pharmaceuticals are owned by a small handful of ppl thats fixing the market and cheating taxes…

Why don't you guys diversify your team a bit?
They're all coworkers from Vice News's tech section called Motherboard (RIP).
Wow. You guys need to check your bias. You guys think this is about hiring more Republicans vs black people. You're disconnected from reality. Diversity is more about class and culture than skin color.
These three communists loaded their videos with commercials.
It's too much!
Also, communism lost at the ballot box.
