They are even dumber than Leslie Nielsen as American president in his parodies.

This was the feeling!!! I couldn't put my finger on just how this entire thing felt to me, you've cleared the skies and allowed the light of recollection to meet my shores!

It feels like 70s-80s slapstick!

Obligatory fuck Trump

Releasing your code and related resources is SoP.

We had a guy who fixed up no less than 20 repos in our small company cleaning up API keys that were accidentally published. This isn't uncommon at all.

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think part of that is that it conjures up cold war era associations.

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Definitely! Those "outside time and space"/"post-modern purgatory" vibes are strong nowadays. Every day feels like making busy until the storm hits.

[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 45 points 3 weeks ago

Well good luck to you guys in the US. This AI government will be extremely dangerous. An all knowing advertisement algorithm reaching deep in government data with an unsafe LLM on top? Ouch.

[-] overload@sopuli.xyz 38 points 3 weeks ago

Move fast and break things is not good when government is involved.

Super earth's managed democracy was supposed to be satire...

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

whats wrong with managed democracy? did you see how quickly a new president was elected when the previous one perished during the invasion?

[-] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

I dream of the day the People collectively have had enough and just drag the bastards into the street and beat them until they can bastard no more.

One can dream…

He's hiding behind glass. He won't know fresh air ever again.

"all-in-one API" that will allow agencies to connect their systems to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic

This is a huge red flag to me.

It means:

  • They are ignorant of existing APIs and standards that are exactly this. Uh, MCP or OpenAI API? Which everyone already uses?
  • They have zero interesting in models they can host themselves, or from cheaper providers. Or, heaven forbit, finetune for their own work.
  • They have zero interest in actually useful tools. Like, say, SGLang's cached hosting and fast fill-in-the-blanks formatting which is perfect for say, processing government forms.

In other words, it's just full corporate AI Bro capture. And shitty.

One of the consequences is that it will be very bad, unfortunately.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

What's sad is that this is a consequence not just of this admins shittiness but of a long enshittification of our government.

Not only do government jobs pay a mediocre salary until you get really really far in the org, a fact that only gets worse as the idea of a middle class lifestyle gets gutted, but for decades now, working a government job has become less and less prestigious. It used to be that there were always plenty of loonies who found pride in being a "public servant" and thought the best place to use their genius was in government.

Now, as we see, there's no one in these positions with even cursory knowledge of how these programs work.

And there's definitely no millennials or zoomers fresh out of tech school that would debase themselves to working in government who would be able see these flaws in two seconds.

Only silver lining right now is these idiots might just be too stupid to pull off creating their evil empire.

[-] PTSDwarrior@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

This reminds me of an interview with a Ukrainian soldier, who said of the Russians “we are lucky they are so fucking stupid”. If only that translated into less air superiority by Russia, because that's where Ukraine struggles.

[-] match@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Second term same as the first?

Speedrun to Idiocracy.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I hate that all of the worst things Donald is planning are slated for July 4.

[-] kerntucky@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm out of the loop; what's being planned for the 4th of July?

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's the deadline Donald set for the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill as well.

The stupid is intensifying. They both a) know they can’t run a government and b) are in a rush to make something that will do all the work so they can sit back and rake in the money. No, this is not about actually making the country better because objectively LLMs suck and were never intended for such tasks.

[-] kinther@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

They are too generic and lack the specialization needed to do such tasks. It will only end in disaster

[-] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.

With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM "decided" that you probably are a terrorist...

I consider this as the final confirmation that he wants to bring the government down.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Trump just wants people bowing to him. His handlers are the ones with real plans. Don't let Peter Thiel run away to Argentina.

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Trump is the disposable face of something much darker. He is a tool.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

More like don't let them bring Argentina here. Their current president is an ancap and the inspiration behind doge.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

What do we want? sKYNET!!!!

When do we want it? As soon as it can beat beginner atari chess?!?!
