THREAD: An ex-DOGE engineer with no government or medical experience used AI to identify which Veterans Affairs contracts to kill, labeling them as “MUNCHABLE.”
@vernalcoleman.bsky.social @ericumansky.bsky.social and I got the code. Here’s what it tells us 1/
We need to round up all these DOGE fucks and lock them away for life

Call me anal retentive, but I used to have this weird quirk where I’d TEST my programs before releasing them into production. I guess I wasn’t as efficient as the DOGE bros.
All Hail Our Robot Overlords.
Isn't FISMA implicated in this? Shouldn't it be?

Wow, total busy work to make it look like DOGE was doing something. The whole script could be replaced with just a random number generator and it would have worked just as well: if lucky, not munchable; if unlucky, munch away. These people put absolutely no thought or effort into their job.

Can’t we just be happy for the vets that are getting what they voted?
This is why Bernie Sanders' support for DOGE needs attention.
If Bernie Sanders hates oligarchs, why is he ok with the one who bought our government?

Sen. Bernie Sanders has added his voice to the debate surrounding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the newly formed initiative cochaired by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. In a recent po...
Of course he did.
Fantastic reporting. It’s possible I missed it reading on the small screen, but do you know what model was used?
Wow. Vibe-coding over a dataset you don't fully understand, without tests or validation. Or, it appears, peer-review.
Was there any actual source code written as part of this tool, or was it merely a set of prompts?
2/ First, the DOGE AI tool produced glaring mistakes.
It often hallucinated the size of contracts, inflating their value. It concluded more than a thousand were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.
Dear God can it get any worse. America destroyed under Trump.
DOGE is all smoke and mirrors and needs to be done away with. It's doing indescribable damage.
Using AI code that has already been proven flawed to play with (let’s be honest, shorten the lives of veterans) is so f*cking evil.
Computer programmers are not engineers
When I worked for the government, the Biden-era OMB guidance on AI seemed overly restrictive in terms of process and review. It's as if they didn't want anyone using AI. I hated it. Your reporting shows what they were concerned about: Clowns who have no idea what they're doing screwing over people.
