A PowerPoint presentation made public by the Post claims that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used the AI tool to make “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections”, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.
The Post spoke to three HUD employees who told the newspaper AI had been “recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations”.
Oh, good. Everything was feeling a little too calm, so of course they’re doing this right fucking now.
Imagine a junior dev called “Big Balls” starting up Claude Code and telling it “Hey I need you to make this app great, remove all unnecessary code” and then just accepting whatever it proposes. This is an app with no unit tests, no dev environment, running in production, and if it crashes people die in concentration camps.
Literally vibe coding a country.
Because DOGE is still running on Elon Musk’s strategy of “move fast, break things, and don’t fix anything until shit’s on fire”. People won’t be dying in concentration camps because of DOGE, they’ll just be homeless and probably half-dead of starvation (because of the repeal of the PFDA).
This is reminding me of those pc optimizer tools like CCleaner that promised to find a bunch of things to uninstall and redundant/trash files to delete and make your pc 3000x faster, but ended up breaking your system.
🤨 CCleaner never failed me. Even ran it on non-critical servers to see if it would break shit. Not one time did it introduce a breaking change. Maybe it’s different now?
CCleaner actually worked as intended for a long time until it enshittified. It’s also less relevant in the age of fast as fuck SSDs over HDDs to need to clean up temp files and stuff to make the PC faster. Also Disk Clean Up is essentially what CCleaner did already built into Windows.
Is there is a list of employees of DOGE? I would like to write them letters.
The People Carrying Out Musk’s Plans at DOGE
I think several of them have quit by now, but I’m sure they would still appreciate your helpful feedback.
There’s one who’s dad is a professor at a university. You could write to the university about it. They would like that a lot I think.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.
Doesn’t sound like very good protection. It should be illegal to use “AI” like this, making critical decisions with a technology well known for making massive errors is so fucking stupid I can’t even.

Anyone who does this either doesn’t understand how generative AI works or does understand and is just using it as an excuse to deregulate.
Absolutely the second. Once something has been destroyed, it takes years or decades to get it back. They’re purposely banking on going overboard, knowing full well it will collapse all the institutions and that repairing that can’t occur at the same pace.
It is the second thing. They could just delete the regulations they don’t like outright, inserting AI into the process is just to pretend it was some logical process.
Left needs to use LLM to counter this nonsense. Like, use LLM to patch loopholes and add traps to prevent further LLM use.
It’s not about LLM being unfit for this job, it’s more like we don’t have the manpower to defend against this mass-produced surgical sabotage.
Yup.
The greatest danger of AI, is the corporations and governments having sole control of it. That is why it is important for ordinary people to not reject AI usage, but to make it cheap and common enough that no one has to rely on the elite for access.
Be it guns, food, shelter, or knowledge, no one should have a monopoly. That is just asking to be abused.
That’s not how I meant it when 10 years ago talking about regulations being a bad thing.
I meant starting with copyright =\
“AI tool”.
I live in Russia and I’m pissed that they are making its gang in power look almost competent in comparison.
Anyone who says “regulation is bad” is attacking the problem with too blunt an instrument. It depends which regulation, who it serves, and how well it has worked and can be expected to go on working. The urge to get rid of regulations is either driven by corrupt profiteering or by an ideology that’s too crude for the real world.
