Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE has hired 21-year-old undergraduate Christopher Sweet to help revise Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations using AI, despite his lack of government experience.
Internal emails describe Sweet’s role as an “AI computer programming quant analyst” tasked with identifying housing rules to relax or eliminate.
Critics say DOGE hires inexperienced tech workers to dismantle agencies under the guise of reform, aligning with Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.
Musk admitted DOGE has made frequent errors and failed to cut promised spending, with federal expenditures already up $220 billion compared to early 2024.
I don’t know what’s crazier. The fact that they let undergrads write government system or that they believe AI will somehow remediate these issues.
The fact that this government used LLM to generate that insane tariff policy or uses LLM to revoke stay for US citizens tells me how dumb all those people are.
It is also a lesson that being smart is definitively not a prerequisite to be a billionaire and likely quite the opposite.
Bingo! They just need to be ruthless narcissists with no empathy and money to continue buying their self-worth.
