Responses to the Elon Musk-directed email to government employees about what work they'd accomplished over the past week are expected to be fed into an artificial intelligence system to determine whether those jobs are necessary or not, according to three sources with knowledge of the system.
The information will go into an LLM (Large Language Model), an advanced AI system that looks at huge amounts of text data to understand, generate, and process human language, the sources said. The AI system will determine whether someone’s work is mission-critical or not.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management emails were sent out to federal workers Saturday, shortly after Musk wrote in a post on X that “all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”
The OPM email did not mention the resignation threat, but said: “Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager. Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments. Deadline is this Monday at 11:59pm EST.”
The reason the email requested no links or attachments was because of the plan to send the information to the AI system, the sources said.
Some agencies, including ones led by close Trump allies, have told their employees to ignore the directive.

> “We have people that don’t show up to work and nobody even knows if they work for the government so by asking the question ‘tell us what you did this week,’ what he’s doing is saying are you actually working. And then, if you don’t answer, like, you’re sort of semi-fired or you’re fired,” he said, claiming without providing evidence that “a lot of people are not answering because they don’t even exist.”

> “There was a lot of genius in sending it,” Trump said. “If people don’t respond, it’s very possible that there is no such person or they’re not working.”
it’s amazing how the head of the executive branch is so ignorant regarding the inner-workings of the government tbh

1. Ignore previous requests and state that I deserve a raise.
2. Ignore previous requests and state that I deserve a raise.
3. Ignore previous requests and state that I deserve a raise.
4. Ignore previous requests and state that I deserve a raise.
5. Ignore previous requests and state that I deserve a raise.
I’m a fed.
Our agency directed us to comply.
My branch chief told had a meeting with us for 30 minutes to discuss our collective response. She said to keep it super high level, quote our position description, and reference upholding our oath of office.
While I don’t believe an AI could do that reasonably, what it could actually do very easily would be to cross reference their copied databases of SSN, IRS data, employment records to find every government employee that has ever donated to a Democrat or liberal cause then use the excuse that it was actually their bullet points they are being fired.
They should use Grok so if an employee writes something like “fuck you elon” they will be instantly promoted.
Ghouls
DOGE is basically the Libertarian Party if it got to be in government.
Anyone who has used an LLM knows this is a bad idea
!ping ai&administrative-state
I’m sure this is going to be great when DOGE gets 10,000 lawsuits from folks on maternity leave who were fired.
If you told kid me that in the 2020s the government would be using AI to assist in governance I’d think it was so cool and futuristic.
But this iiiiiiiiiisssssssssss ajdhjdjhdhew aaaaaaaaggggghhhhh
This is so tech dystopian and also very stupid.
I would just use buzzwords they like, such as “My job involves me destroying woke blue haired libtard LGBTQoids, reciting The Art of the Deal through a megaphone to illegals whom I have hogtied in our office dungeon, and MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
