‘Department of government efficiency’ is proposing to use tool to cut 50% of federal regulations by January

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.

    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.
