US Big Tech wants to eliminate the federal government administered by humans, and replace it with AI. Amid all the talk that has generated one aspect has gone relatively unreported. None of the AI they want to replace the humans with actually works.

AI is still plagued by widespread simple and basic errors in reasoning. Furthermore, there is no path to fixing this problem. Tinkering with training data has provided some improvements, but it has not fixed the fundamental problem. AI lacks the ability to independently reason.

‘Move fast and break things’ has always been a Silicon Valley mantra. It seems increasingly that is the way the basic functions of administering the US state will be run too.

    Of course. It’s a junk product, so they can’t count on the lucrative corporate contracts they were hoping for. So they’re angling for lucrative government contracts instead, since landing those doesn’t require a quality product - it just requires bribing the right officials.

    Always get a giggle at the articles claiming AI is replacing humans. Sorry, but I regularly have to correct it from dropping functionality in a 5-10 line code snippet, ain’t no way it can orchestrate government operations.

    Corporations that already more or less control the world want even more leeway to control the world even MORE despite clear evidence they are woefully unprepared?

    Name a more iconic duo.

    Can’t wait for AI to take over government function and see all the ways people post about how to get it to do things it shouldn’t. Government waste and fraud will skyrocket worse than a kleptocracy on crack.
