I don’t want to get all “muh constitution” but if the president can just unilaterally decide to eliminate federal departments there really isn’t a constitution at that point is there? Like that’s so far out of bounds of what’s legal in any way. Looks like it’s just going to happen?

I also don’t understand any of the reporting or statements regarding being denied access to the buildings either. Every report I have read (and I have gone intentionally searching for this) has said that they were told no. It does not specify who told them no, the democrats are not specifying who is telling them no. The closest I have been able to find is an article The Hill saying the dems were stopped by “security forces”. WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE? Is anyone going to ask who the fuck they are working for or under whose authority? What answer could they possibly give you that would be acceptable to pack up and leave?

If I drop you off at a gas station and 20 seconds later you came back and said “they said no.” I would be like "who said no? What did they say? And you just keep repeating “they said no” I would get actually pissed at you! Yet that’s what were getting for some reason?

There was this story in the guardian

• “They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said Andrew Rosenberg, a former Noaa official who is now a fellow at the University of New Hampshire. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”

What is even going on here?!?! If you walked into where I work and were like “hey were taking over?” I would be like “who the fuck are you? what the hell is going on?”. Even if I don’t give a shit about my job I’m not just going to leave my post because some goofball told me to. Could I actually just walk into any federal building and say I’m with doge and they just let me in? Because that’s legitimately what it feels like here!

So we have people we know nothing about, closing down federal office buildings, locking everyone out and nobody cares who is doing that? Do they have names? Are they security for the agency? Who gave them the orders? Are they just random people? I feel like these are kind of important questions that are being completely glossed over!

Yeah that tracks, I was looking at some of the setups people were using really early on when it first was released and the hardware wasn’t too crazy (this is relative of course). It’s a pretty big stretch to find a reason to homebrew it yourself, but if you are any company in this space the path just became really clear. I don’t actually think there is a ton of money in this space, because I don’t think there are many problems it’s actually good at solving. However even in that very narrow window of space where you can make money now anyone can play. Value proposition of all the large companies basically went to zero. The data they have for training they have is still valuable, but that was valuable without AI in the first place.

This island one is really funny.
