Worked in games, manga, animation, publishing but my fave thing to do is write stories about hot bad guys getting their asses kicked by snarky girls.

Technical thread re: The AI fad is not efficient and will blow through loads of resources very quickly...
Especially because by 2028 the first wave of AI centers that have burned through all their graphics cards and have to be completely remade are going to start lol
It’s pretty easy for me to picture a niche left backlash against them because it’s a talking point at every one of my elected’s town halls.

Trump is gutting the bank regs set up after the ’08 Great Recession. The Fed governor in charge of bank regs is gutting regs and laying off 30% of staff. She weakened measures to detect possible failures, watered down bank supervision at the FDIC and gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

They also hunted down all grants that went to any purpose containing "LGBTQ" or similar words. I think it is pretty clear this is the brainchild of a conspiracy theorist who wants to "follow the money" to find out how the imaginary cabal of perpetually triggered leftists gets funded.
The majority of DOGE's "work" is to use LLMs to search federal grants for the keywords "LGBTQ," "BIPOC," and similar, and then to cancel those grants.
They are targeting minorities in the most literal, automated way. The outcomes of this are all over their own website:

I've taken a deep dive into the DOGE bro's open source software code commits to verify they never wrote (or even oversaw) any code beyond culture war messaging. It's all trivial stuff like this: taking out the "nonbiary" option on some form.

Although DOGE occasionally pretended to modernize some computer system, the only non-vaporware changes to software they ever oversaw (mostly they didn't write the code themselves, just leaned on someone else to do so) were to remove "DEI" stuff from government websites

Before we were fired, we were interrogated. This had a very Office Space "so what would you say you do here" vibe, appearing to assume that government employees are ineffective, our systems broken.
They kept announcing things like "performance standards" as though we didn't already have them:

18F was liquidated at midnight and our website deleted at the same moment, apparently to end our leftist conspiracy. In general DOGE appeared quite preoccupied with the idea that websites, mass emails, etc controlled by longtime government employees would be used to conspire against them.

Partisan messages like this violate the Hatch Act and, as nonpartisan civil servants sworn to uphold the law, we would never do this.
But conspiracy-brained people don't know we truly uphold the law, and in this case probably don't even know the law at all.

My evidence for that: the right did exactly this to government websites. So they were projecting what they planned to do onto us.

Musk is absolutely paranoid, which I think goes hand in hand with his narcissistic need to be loved by everyone all the time. Seems to make him desperately insecure that so many of us don't, which is why I'm really enjoying everyone publicly pissing all over him. He's earned his misery.
One possible motivation to demand access was to steal data, and I think that was a part of it, but also I think DOGE (or Musk, anyway) was motivated by a conspiracy theory:
The belief that government workers would conspire to use the government's computer systems against them.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
