A PowerPoint presentation made public by the Post claims that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used the AI tool to make “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections”, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.

The Post spoke to three HUD employees who told the newspaper AI had been “recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations”.

Oh, good. Everything was feeling a little too calm, so of course they’re doing this right fucking now.

    It should be illegal to use “AI” like this

    That would require the people trying to pass laws to deregulate AI to stop trying to pass laws to deregulate AI. But no, that’s not what we want. We want more money going to the top while paying fewer people along the way.

    With the way Xitter “reprogrammed” new results from Gr0ck, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just copying and pasting from project 2025 and telling whichever LLM to reword everything into legalese so that they can claim ignorance on how their laws are killing their voters.

      Yeah I’m afraid we’re gonna miss the boat on this one too just like we did with social media, we learned nothing.

        Plenty of people know what’s up. The ones not learning the lessons are sociopaths who serve only themselves (and they know too but they don’t care), society’s most ignorant and gullible, and people so consumed with resentment that they’ve lost all purpose but to hurt.

          I mean, what do they have to lose? Just a little wasted time subpoenaing some CEOs and acting flabbergasted while they blatantly lie about not knowing what was going on.

          And then politicians using the insane logic of, “if you didn’t know this would fuck everyone, then why’d you let us buy it to fuck people???”
