Members of the #House Oversight Committee sent dozens of requests to federal agencies... about their use of #AI software—& how #ElonMusk could benefit.
https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-federal-agencies-ai/
“The #American people entrust the federal #government with sensitive personal info... on the basis that this #information will not be disclosed or improperly used... including through the use of an unapproved & unaccountable 3rd-party AI #software.”
Europe is investing €200 billion for AI development

"But in an update... #OPM removed wording describing responses as “explicitly voluntary.” The new PIA states, “The consequences for failure to provide the requested #information will vary depending on the particular #email at issue.” #DonaldTrump has also said that federal employees who do not respond could lose their #jobs."
Trump's attempt to clean up after Elon Musk backfires
One question remains: What is the true motivation behind Musk's #DOGE project?

"What #Elon is after... All the LLMs have sucked in all the #data. Now they need more to have an advantage.
... #Government is the biggest trove of #information on the planet...
"why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is. Why do you rob govt agencies? Because that's where the data is."
@prolrage @YourAnonCentral The attack is more insidious than #Musk, #Trump, and #TheRight. #Tech, and in particular, #Google, is distorting #Information. #Google #Gemini is refusing to answer political questions about #TheRight while #DeepSeek #Mistral #Cohere and others will answer. Use multiple AI/LLMs. Compare the answers.

DOGE’s credibility is shot.

"DOGE has saved the govt just $2 billion. That comes to 1/35 of 1% of the federal budget.
Repeated #errors have raised questions about the quality & veracity of the #information Musk’s #DOGE is putting out. The mistakes also call into question the team members’ competence — whether they understand the #government well enough to cut it while avoiding catastrophe."
DOGE targets child support database full of income data
Associates of Elon Musk’s group provoked yet another clash with career civil servants over sensitive #government records

"Elon Musk’s #DOGE team has clashed with civil servants over... #information or systems kept by the #Treasury Dept, #IRS and #SocialSecurity Admn, among other agencies.
Earlier this week, however, DOGE... targeted... perhaps the most sensitive of all"
Earlier this week, however, #DOGE associates targeted what several experts & government officials described as perhaps the most sensitive of all — a system within a broader govt database created to help enforce #ChildSupport payments, which pulls a vast trove of #information, including income data linked to nearly ALL US WORKERS [not just those working for the Federal Govt].
#DOGE has sought access to a powerful database of nearly all US workers’ earnings kept by the #health dept’s #ChildSupport office, setting off another disagreement w/career staff over demands for legally #protected records, acc/to 4 people familiar w/the matter.
Over the last several weeks, #billionaire #ElonMusk’s team has clashed w/ #CivilServants over attempts to #access privileged #information or systems kept by the #Treasury Dept, #IRS & #SocialSecurity, among other agencies.

The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed?

The decision was made at a WH meeting on Monday that included Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, VP #JDVance, Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth, Dir of National #Intelligence #TulsiGabbard & #MiddleEast envoy #SteveWitkoff.
The move follows an order last week by Hegseth for US #Cyber Command to halt offensive cyber & #information operations against #Russia as long as negotiations to end the war are ongoing.
“Donald #Trump is so desperate to earn the affection of a #thug like Vladimir Putin he appears to be giving him a free pass as #Russia continues to launch #cyber operations & #ransomware attacks against critical American infrastructure, threatening our economic & #NationalSecurity," #ChuckSchumer said. "It is a critical strategic mistake for Donald Trump to unilaterally disarm against #Putin."
