Joe Gebbia, Big Balls, and the DOGE team are unsung heroes in the admin. Patriots in control. Contrast with Obama’s healthcare.gov, a disaster that took years and billions of dollars.

Blue states are tiresome empires of dust even more inefficient and corrupt than Africa: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/empire-of-dust-ccp-congoits-all-so-tiresome-meme

Absolutely! The left’s leaders, a lot of the right’s, and most of the bureaucracy are in love with "process." They actually enjoy making people wait, while they are in control.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

The Left is already calling it raaaaaaacist.

What they're really crying about is losing authority without accountability.

They are the most unimaginative people on earth.

Fabes55's avatar

They have no ideas on how to successfully govern this country. All they do is scream and moan about how bad things are... and Orange Man Bad. Marxism on display.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

They NEED government agencies that willingly operated with archaic, backwards-ass infrastructures to enable and maintain the massive amounts of fraud detected by DOGE.

Skenny's avatar

... and to maintain the government "job programs," with liberal judges who protect them from being fired.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Yeah there's going to be another 100-200k federal workers who are about to find out what its like to compete in the private sector.

They'll do great......

Fabes55's avatar

It's amazing how poorly government services are. Almost like they don't care.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Yes, unimaginative— except when it comes to creating new ways to cheat, obfuscate, and line their pockets with fresh streams of cash from the treasury.

I am blown away by this move from Trump. We will never know how many birds he’s killed with this one stone.

Still shaking my head. Pure genius.

It is in the process that they can, and have, taxed us into poverty and subservience. Property tax? Unconstitutional. Vehicle license tax for non commercial vehicles? Unconstitutional. Income tax? Unconstitutional. All of the special district taxes they have now figured out how to levy on us? Unconstitutional. The process uses the power of incarceration or the loss of our homes and possessions if we dont pay their taxes. It is deeply wrong and President Trump, our greatest President, is doing everything possible to undo it all and give our country back to us.

Skenny's avatar

Bingo, Dan! Then, they are totally unaccountable for how they spend it. It has been a while since I have seen the reconciliation of expenses I am owed per the Constitution, under Article I, Section 9, Clause 7.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Obama's healthcare.gov was never about health care nor was it about efficient government. It was about the redistribution of billions of dollars of wealth to liberal democrats. Which is why the liberals are screaming so loudly, they are being cut off from the grifts which were making them wealthy while doing nothing - Medicare/Medicaid fraud being just one example. The truth is being found out - the grift is in every sector within which the uniparty and deep state operates.

Bard Joseph's avatar

When you hear the word "modernization", run for the hills.

All data can be used for the digital prison being built with the data centers around you. Makes it easier for illegal aliens too. Just have fewer people to pay off. Nice to see the government "here to help you".

And don't forget the taxpayers had to pay Michelle's former college friend to fix the screwed up mess they created and had already been paid for.

Imagine if Trump could come up with an AI system that could run the entire American government with its soul intention to Make America Great. No corruption, fraud, no two tiers of justice, no sweetheart deals, no insider trading. We could replace the entire government and all of the hacks and be back in the black in no time.

Look at the Bidens for instance. We payed for his hair, we paid for his teeth, we paid for all of his surgeries, his kids to be born, his kids insurance, his transportation, his phones, his utilities, all of their protection, it never ends. Eventually we’ll pay for his final resting place and all of his families as well. It’s like cradle to grave. Imagine a government that truly looked out for just the citizen and their interest. I think we’re on to something.

Jacquijacq's avatar

Having AI judges would be terrific. If you break the law it’s black and white. No more judge who hates Trump so he won’t obey an EO !!

Lisa Runquist's avatar

Better make sure the programer is not a democrat.

John Boy West's avatar

That’s the crux of the problem: former Twitter employees retrained to process AI (SI) — over our pay grades to decipher. Hope it works to our benefit. Libs want the tyranny of opaque processes like voting by mail in California.

Rosalind McGill's avatar

N more payouts!

It doesn't take Sherlock's avatar

That all depends on the datasets the AI is trained on. A new administration can "retrain it". This new tech can easily be used to funnel people to being more controlled.

People will know once the "event" is triggered. For now, this 'hammer' is used to hit a nail. At some point, it will be used on people.

Steenroid's avatar

Now THATS science fiction. No crooked judges, cops or elected officials?

Lynne Morris's avatar

Along those lines I was watching Anastasia Cortez blather on ad nauseum about "they" are taking "our" [everything] and my thought was maybe an AI House would be good.

Gary's avatar

Well, if we had that, we would not have a national debt!! I would venture to say all of our problems come from corrupt control freaks that normally have none of their own skin in the game. Same with big corps.

Richard Whitney's avatar

I just posted this, but it fits here too. No more insider trading? Ha!

I logged in and asked the new America.gov questions about COLA for Social Security in 2027, Medicare costs next year and how to verify if I am still registered to vote in former states of residence. The information provided took mere minutes vs possible hours to access the correct government websites. This site, America.gov , is user friendly. 🇺🇸 TAW

Robc's avatar

I'll admit to being tentatively excited by this - especially for my parents and how maddening it is for them to navigate through Medicare. Especially if you are able to use standard language in the query rather then having to take a class in "prompt engineering". Prior to this, I have seen AI as yet another "tech in search of a problem" - the AI assisted search rollout at my company was a disaster, the most common question from the teams was "so AI gives this answer, is it correct?"

Lynne Morris's avatar

That is my response to using AI for legal research too. It seems to me if you are asking questions you do not know the answer to, which after all is why you do legal research, you are taking a risk. Citations to cases and statutes seem to be particularly problematic. Of course the simple solution is to verify the cites.

MaryAnnTexanInArizona's avatar

Oh man, so true, I have found using Claude maddening with prompts. I have been using GrokBot for three weeks and it's what the others promise. What a time to be alive!!!

It doesn't take Sherlock's avatar

You could have gotten that info from free Grok.

Fabes55's avatar

So I asked America.gov and ChatGPT if and how to renew my FL CCW. America.gov gave me way more info that ChatGPT. Interesting.

It doesn't take Sherlock's avatar

I'm curious. Can you run the same query to Google's Gemini, and also Grok (accessed from the website or as a feature inside X itself.)

From my usage the past year for work and religious purposes, I find this order the best in terms of me trusting what I see. (Trust but verify.)

Grok,

Gemini,

Co-Pilot,

ChatGPT.

(I've also tried some genre specific AI's but for general, I use the above.)

“Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;

O Yahweh, be my helper.”

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,

That my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.

O Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Time to worship at a data center.

Diane C.'s avatar

I guess I didn't appreciate how big a deal this new U.S. government website was. Here's hoping they are also working on spotting fraud, like when 42 companies are running a hospice company all out of the same address. Seems like that would be an obvious tip off, but our government has been missing this scam signal for years.

Valerie's avatar

My question since DOGE started has been ‘why on earth are the government systems so antiquated?’ How on earth can someone be getting SSI at 130 and nobody is flagged to check it? How can one person be getting SNAP in 2 states? All that stuff should have been modernized years ago. Glad to see this website, I hope it’s the beginning of something great.

Lynne Morris's avatar

That is one of the things I like about it. It should leave the digital equivalent of a paper trail. Banks have been doing this for years.

Jackie J's avatar

American.gov is giving me Big Brother vibes.

Lynne Morris's avatar

Big Brother is, and has been, here since the Patriot Act was enacted. At least.

Gary's avatar

yes, and now all the flocking cameras!!

Lynne Morris's avatar

From what I am reading the cameras are used to build profiles on drivers. And that information ultimately belongs to the company, not the municipality employing the camera.

David Clark's avatar

Just smash your computer and phone. There are sunglasses on Amazon that block the infrared light that CCTV uses to do facial recognition. I bought a pair for around $12 but they’re extremely dark and pretty impractical for nighttime forays into public if you want to hide from Big Brother. Also get rid of your credit cards and use only cash or bartering.

Chjuhnke's avatar

The Hartford Health Care conglomerate has gone “no cash” at all their facilities.

When I tried to pay cash for my PT appointment at the facility, I was told I could pay by card or be billed. When I called Administration to complain, I was told “it was an unpopular decision.” Obviously they DO NOT CARE.

Of course the next time I visited, the card reader was non-functional, so I couldn’t pay at all!

It doesn't take Sherlock's avatar

Yep. 100%. It will be where people are told to turn when the "event" that ushers in digital currency, social credit scoring, and full surveillance gets activated. People will be "comforted" by accessing Super AI and it tells them everything is fine and it'll take care of you.

Gloria Magee's avatar

But if that ‘event’ is the rapture? Will it matter to many of us here?

It doesn't take Sherlock's avatar

The idea of dispensationalism/rapture as put forth by the Left Behind types is a recent phenomena and not how the church and the vast majority of Christians have understood eschatology for millennia. It gave Kirk Cameron some employment but shouldn't be looked at seriously. Christ will come back once-for-all. That's it. Then the Final Judgement. Jesus isn't going to be sitting on a throne in the Middle East like Solomon for years doing diplomatic things. The idea of a rapture where others just have to live then on earth with all the good people removed doesn't even make logical sense, and is heartless. We are in the age of the church now. Christ's grace is available to all either directly or through what has been revealed via Natural Law to those who haven't heard the Gospel. St. Paul does write about suffering often and how it can be a participation in Christ's sacrifice. I've know a number of "rapturists" who basically have a 'well at least I got mine' kind of attitude and get 'comfortable', instead of working the vineyard hard to make sure satan loses his grasp on every soul possible, and Jesus wins another soul for eternity.

I keep reminding myself that everything AI "knows" was originally sourced by a human. Combining that with "I'm from the government and am here to help" does not give me warm fuzzies.

It doesn't take Sherlock's avatar

We are now closer to "I'm from the government and am here to help. Just sign up for digital currency, total surveillance, and social credit scoring so we know you aren't one of the '-ists', and you can have your universal-basic-income and freedom to move about the country." This site makes the coming "event" more controllable when it comes to public uprising.

TAW: all-time record household income and an all-time record-low poverty rate.

Highest real median household income in history

Atlanta Fed estimates economy growing at 5 percent annual rate

Child poverty fell to just 13.4%, the lowest official rate ever recorded.

Hispanic poverty fell to 13.9%

Real weekly earnings for blue-collar manufacturing workers are up 4.1%

Construction workers’ earnings are up an even higher 5%

The burgeoning boom “the greatest story never told.”

Conservatives: Don't buy the left’s lies.

Clinton: Manufacturing is gone forever. China would build; we would consume. Russia and the Middle East would supply the energy. Europe would regulate. America would borrow, import, and manage its “inevitable” decline and displacement by more dynamic powers.

Trump rejected every part of that nonsense.

I wondered for quite a while if John Thune and President Trump had a secret plan all along to "sabotage" and hold off on the SAVE Act votes. Thune certainly got a lot of grief and threats of future primarying on it. It would be wild if this forced vote on voter ID required nationwide coupled with anti insider trading puts any no vote senators in a horrible position right now. October surprise?

shayne's avatar

Yeah. That crossed my mind too. If this is right, then Thune took a load of abuse but never wavered.

Becky's avatar

Rinse, repeat. We routinely hear on C&C the qualifier that the mainstream media is silent on whatever great, stupendous things are happening. Then how will people whose whole news diet is the mainstream media ever hear about them? They won’t. And they’ll vote Commie/Dem in the midterms.

Wait a minute…married

Women and black people can’t use a computer, right? In California all govt forms have to be in 20 languages. What about braille for the blind?

On a serious note I spent over a month with 4 separate federal agencies and 2 local agencies this spring arranging my father-in-law’s military funeral. And 3 months trying to obtain a copy of my own military medical records( no joy). Hopefully this new information initiative will lessen those kinds of burdens for all including us deplorables.
