    This line from the article about DOGE still trying to shift responsibility to ChatGPT.

    McMahon also pushes back on the government’s argument that “there is no real constitutional problem here because any viewpoint-based classification was ChatGPT’s doing, rather than the Government’s:”

    “There is no distinction to be drawn here between the Government and ChatGPT. ChatGPT was the Government’s chosen instrument for purposes of this project, and DOGE’s use of AI to identify DEI-related material neither excuses presumptively unconstitutional conduct nor gives the Government carte blanche to engage in it. …There is not a scintilla of evidence that Fox or Cavanaugh, having obtained a “DEI” rationale from ChatGPT, undertook any meaningful review of whether that rationale made sense.”

      This may be the biggest reason the Epstein class wants AI used everywhere: for some reason using and listening to AI makes them not responsible for the things they do, and the thing that scares them the most is being held responsible.

      Fuck that argument. Treat it like the jackass who says “technically my pen wrote that”.

      I’m a broker and I asked a random homeless person what to do with everyone’s money that was entrusted to me, so they are the one on the hook when it’s all gone right?

        I like the corollary I heard: “An AI can never find out, so an AI should never be allowed to fuck around.”

      But the black box told us to do it, it is not our fault. This has got to be the dumbest timeline ever, but wait.

      I know. Let’s build a white supremacist black box and then let it give us orders that way we aren’t racist. Oh darn, Muskrat was a step ahead and did that already.

        And it literally led to the bombing of not one, but two Iranian elementary schools (I believe in one day), and over 100 dead schoolchildren.

      We’re going to see a bunch of businesses blaming AI when they fail (because of AI…)
