Plot twist: DOGE now transforms tax payer money into training data for Grok.

Kidding aside, I'm guessing a lot of the responses contain classified information, I can only hope they will use a self hosted LLM.

Even without specific classified information, the aggregated information becomes sensitive. You can piece together a lot about the day to day operations, priorities, and even potentially derive classified insights from 2M+ open ended email submissions.

These people are absolutely incompetent.

Does OPM/DOGE have a securely hosted model that is trained to do this already? Which model(s) and where/how they are hosted seems like a critical detail here.

Someone just needs to break into the email server or the LLM server to have a centralized view of all federal work. In isolation, assuming no one accidentally reveals sensitive information in an entirely new process without clear guidelines (lol), maybe the risk is low. In aggregate, information can become sensitive when it paints a broader picture. Without any doubt, Russia and China (among others) have set gaining access to this as a top priority.

DOGE to Employee: What did you do in the last week?

Employee: [lists of tasks]

A.I. to DOGE: *I can do that.*

DOGE to Employee: You're fired.

Probably the only way to generate a response which AI doesn't flag is to use AI to generate it in.

Soon we'll be at the point where most information in the government is both generated and consumed by machine. I guess this is government efficiency.

Oh, ffs. “What if we put the stupidest available people in charge of the government?”

I mean, it’s really almost beyond belief. Absolutely crazy stuff.

As with so much of the "news" lately, this isn't real.

Musk gave Trump money, and Trump is letting Musk play a bit until consequences come home to roost, at which point Trump will feed Musk to the wolves.

your link doesn’t contradict the article at all. it just says that OPM has since come out and said that responding to the email is voluntary and people won’t be assumed to have resigned if they do not respond.
