So upset at this headline until I read the article and learned that the verification process to purchase ammunition for dangerous weapons is actually AI-based!

I feel much safer now since AI has a long, well-documented history of um, *checks notes* knowing what a human person looks like 🤗👍🏻

A young man with no government experience who has yet to even complete his undergraduate degree is working for Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and has been tasked with using artificial intelligence to rewrite the agency’s rules and regulations.

Christopher Sweet was introduced to HUD employees as being originally from San Francisco and most recently a third-year at the University of Chicago, where he was studying economics and data science, in an email sent to staffers earlier this month.

“I'd like to share with you that Chris Sweet has joined the HUD DOGE team with the title of special assistant, although a better title might be ‘Al computer programming quant analyst,’” Scott Langmack, a DOGE staffer and chief operating officer of an AI real estate company, wrote in an email widely shared within the agency and reviewed by WIRED. “With family roots from Brazil, Chris speaks Portuguese fluently. Please join me in welcoming Chris to HUD!”

Sweet’s primary role appears to be leading an effort to leverage artificial intelligence to review HUD’s regulations, compare them to the laws on which they are based, and identify areas where rules can be relaxed or removed altogether. (He has also been given read access to HUD's data repository on public housing, known as the Public and Indian Housing Information Center, and its enterprise income verification systems, according to sources within the agency.)

Plans for the industrial-scale deregulation of the US government were laid out in detail in the Project 2025 policy document that the Trump administration has effectively used as a playbook during its first 100 days in power. The document, written by a who’s who of far-right figures, many of whom now hold positions of power within the administration, pushes for deregulation in areas like the environment, food and drug enforcement, and diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

One area Sweet is focusing on is regulation related to the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH), according to sources who spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the press.

Sweet—who two sources have been told is the lead on the AI deregulation project for the entire administration—has produced an Excel spreadsheet with around a thousand rows containing areas of policy where the AI tool has flagged that HUD may have “overreached” and suggesting replacement language.

Staffers from PIH are, specifically, asked to review the AI’s recommendations and justify their objections to those they don’t agree with. “It all sounds crazy—having AI recommend revisions to regulations,” one HUD source says. “But I appreciated how much they’re using real people to confirm and make changes.”

Once the PIH team completes the review, their recommendations will be submitted to the Office of the General Counsel for approval.

One HUD source says they were told that the AI model being used for this project is “being refined by our work to be used across the government.” To do this, the source says they were told in a meeting attended by Sweet and Jacob Altik, another known DOGE member who has worked as an attorney at Weil, Gotshal & Mangesthat, the model will crawl through the Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR),

Another source told WIRED that Sweet has also been using the tool at other parts of HUD. WIRED reviewed a copy of the output of the AI’s review of one HUD department, which features columns displaying text that the AI model found to be needing an adjustment while also including suggestions from the AI for alterations to be made, essentially proposing rewrites. The spreadsheet details how many words can be eliminated from individual regulations and gives a percentage figure indicating how noncompliant the regulations are. It isn’t clear how these percentages are calculated.

Sweet did not respond to requests for comment regarding his work. In response to a request to clarify Sweet’s role at HUD, a spokesperson for the agency said they do not comment on individual personnel. The University of Chicago confirmed to WIRED that Sweet is “on leave from the undergraduate college.”

It’s unclear how Sweet was recruited to DOGE, but a public GitHub account indicates that he was working on this issue even before he joined Musk’s demolition crew.

The “CLSweet” GitHub account, which WIRED has linked to Sweet, created an application that tracks and analyzes federal government regulations “showing how regulatory burden is distributed across government agencies.” The application was last updated in March 2025, weeks before Sweet joined HUD.

One HUD source who heard about Sweet’s possible role in revising the agency’s regulations said the effort was redundant, since the agency was already “put through a multi-year multi-stakeholder meatgrinder before any rule was ever created” under the Administrative Procedure Act. (This law dictates how agencies are allowed to establish regulations and allows for judicial oversight over everything an agency does.)

Another HUD source said Sweet’s title seemed to make little sense. “A programmer and a quantitative data analyst are two very different things,” they noted.

Sweet has virtually no online footprint. One of the only references to him online is a short biography on the website of East Edge Securities, an investment firm Sweet founded in 2023 with two other students from the University of Chicago.

The biography is short on details but claims that Sweet has worked in the past with several private equity firms, including Pertento Partners, which is based in London, and Tenzing Global Investors, based in San Francisco. He is also listed as a board member of Paragon Global Investments, which is a student-run hedge fund.

The biography also mentions that Sweet “will be joining Nexus Point Capital as a private equity summer analyst.” The company has headquarters in Hong Kong and Shanghai and describes itself as “an Asian private equity fund with a strategic focus on control opportunities in the Greater China market.”

East Edge Securities, Pertento Partners, Tenzing Global Investors, Paragon Global Investments, and Nexus Point Capital did not respond to requests for comment.

The only other online account associated with Sweet appears to be a Substack account using the same username as the GitHub account. That account has not posted any content and follows mostly finance and market-related newsletters. It also follows Bari Weiss’ The Free Press and the newsletter of Marc Andreessen, the Silicon Valley billionaire investor and group chat enthusiast who said he spent a lot of time advising Trump and his team after the election.

DOGE representatives have been at HUD since February, when WIRED reported that two of those staffers were given application-level access to some of the most critical and sensitive systems inside the agency.

Earlier this month, US representative Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said DOGE had “infiltrated our nation’s housing agencies, stealing funding Congress provided to communities, illegally terminating staff, including in your districts, and accessing confidential data about people living in assisted housing, including sexual assault survivors.”

Hi! Is ellipsus worth using and is it free? I keep seeing it pop up from time to time and I’m curious

I've been using it instead of Google Docs for like six months I think. And I always have it open in my browser, or use it on my phone, daily tbh.

It's built by people who are anti-AI and pro-fandom, with fan writing in mind, actually. It's very much focused on features for collaborative writing, but I don't cowrite and still find that it does everything I need.

Notable features:

Syncing across multiple devices. I had been using Google Docs for years because a major feature I need is to be able to access my writing from multiple different devices and locations. Ellipsus does this. And has gotten better (sometimes had problem of it not syncing on my phone and then when I opened on my laptop, it wouldn't update until I opened on my phone and forced a sync; but this has happened less frequently and it mostly autosyncs)

Drafts feature. My style of writing, I just don't do drafts that need to be separated out (I don't ever change large chunks of a work that I need to save the original). I think this is helpful for collaborative work. I actually use the drafts for my Outlines and Notes, so I have a quick link right there to access them, and they're kept within the document.

Writing Interface. It's pretty simple in style, which is actually good for writing. They do have a tool bar that you can leave up or hidden, with various formatting options, and an "outline" like Google Docs does (just put a header font in there and shows up on the outline and you have a quick link to jump around)

Cafe Mode I think they officially call it "focus mode" or something but it's a little coffee cup symbol so I think of it as that. This will make just the writing interface take up your whole screen for "distraction-free" writing. I don't use this, as I've been writing in word processors forever and it doesn't bother me to have the features/menus visible.

Timer I think it has a timer you can set. Again, I don't use this.

Collaborative Writing. I don't use this feature, but it looks very similar to how Google Docs sharing works with inviting/giving access to others.

Log-In. It will remember and keep you logged in on a device, but apparently only for set amount of time (unsure how long, as it seems to have random variation). But it is annoying that you can't just log-in with a password; it sends a code to your email. (I won't get into how I am so sick of "multi-factor" verification bs).

Reliability. So far it has never been "down". I do download a backup sometimes (they have several options for quickdownload of a document and are working on more) just out of paranoia.

It's free. But I can't say whether the creators will eventually go to a subscription model or something to cover the expense of the servers and other work (could probably check the "Support" section for any discussion of it - which is also pretty active as they look to develop features users are requesting, etc.)

TL;DR It's free and I do recommend it.

The Future of Commercial Loan Brokering: Trends to Watch!

The commercial loan brokering industry is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements, changing market dynamics, and shifting borrower expectations. As businesses continue to seek financing solutions, brokers must stay ahead of emerging trends to remain competitive. Here are some key developments shaping the future of commercial loan brokering:

1. Rise of AI and Automation

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are revolutionizing loan processing. From AI-driven underwriting to automated document verification, these technologies are streamlining workflows, reducing manual effort, and speeding up loan approvals. Brokers who leverage AI-powered tools can offer faster and more efficient services.

2. Alternative Lending is Gaining Momentum

Traditional banks are no longer the only players in commercial lending. Alternative lenders, including fintech platforms and private lenders, are expanding options for businesses that may not qualify for conventional loans. As a result, brokers must build relationships with non-bank lenders to provide flexible financing solutions.

3. Data-Driven Decision Making

Big data and analytics are transforming how loans are assessed and approved. Lenders are increasingly using alternative data sources, such as cash flow analysis and digital transaction history, to evaluate creditworthiness. Brokers who understand and utilize data-driven insights can better match clients with the right lenders.

4. Regulatory Changes and Compliance Requirements

The commercial lending landscape is subject to evolving regulations. Compliance with federal and state laws is becoming more complex, requiring brokers to stay updated on industry guidelines. Implementing compliance-friendly processes will be essential for long-term success.

5. Digital Marketplaces and Online Lending Platforms

Online lending marketplaces are making it easier for businesses to compare loan offers from multiple lenders. These platforms provide transparency, efficiency, and better loan matching. Brokers who integrate digital platforms into their services can enhance customer experience and expand their reach.

6. Relationship-Based Lending Still Matters

Despite digital advancements, relationship-based lending remains crucial. Many businesses still prefer working with brokers who offer personalized service, industry expertise, and lender connections. Building trust and maintaining strong relationships with both clients and lenders will continue to be a key differentiator.

7. Increased Focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Lending

Sustainability-focused lending is gaining traction, with more lenders prioritizing ESG factors in their financing decisions. Brokers who understand green financing and social impact lending can tap into a growing market of businesses seeking sustainable funding options.

Final Thoughts

The commercial loan brokering industry is undergoing a transformation, with technology, alternative lending, and regulatory changes shaping the future. Brokers who embrace innovation, stay informed on market trends, and continue building strong relationships will thrive in this evolving landscape.

Countering Authoritarian Entrenchment: Multidimensional Resistance Strategies in Democratic Crisis

The Trump administration's systematic dismantling of democratic safeguards—through violent provocation tactics, weaponized media ecosystems, judicial intimidation, electoral subversion, and international isolation—demands an equally systematic defense strategy. Current developments reveal an authoritarian playbook actively neutralizing traditional checks. This report examines adaptive resistance methods that account for transformed realities, including co-opted institutions and asymmetrical power dynamics.

The Authoritarian Playbook: Mechanisms of Control

Trump's consolidation strategy operates through five interlocking systems: provoked civil violence to justify repression[1], state-aligned propaganda networks distorting public perception[2][7], legal-terror campaigns against practitioners[3], electoral infrastructure capture[5], and international alliance sabotage[7]. Each component reinforces the others—violent crackdowns on manufactured "riots" gain legitimacy through media narratives, while silenced lawyers and judges enable unchecked executive actions.

Weaponized Civil Unrest

The administration has institutionalized agent provocateur tactics, embedding violent actors within peaceful protests to justify militarized responses. Over 18 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers operatives documented in January 6th cases now coordinate with federal agencies under the guise of "civil disturbance mitigation"[1]. Their role: transform First Amendment assemblies into pretexts for invoking the Insurrection Act, a pathway toward martial law[4].

Media Capture and Narrative Warfare

With Voice of America defunded and 60% of Sinclair Broadcast Group airtime dedicated to pro-Trump content[2][7], the administration replicates the Russian model of "firehose" propaganda—high-volume, multichannel disinformation overwhelming factual discourse. Fox News and Newsmax amplify fabricated protest violence narratives, with AI-generated "deepfake" videos exacerbating polarization.

Legal System Paralysis

Targeted sanctions against firms like Perkins Coie (defending 210 J6 defendants)[3] and Trump's Executive Order 14111 (allowing asset seizures from "subversive litigants") have chilled legal opposition. Over 12,000 attorneys reported withdrawal from civil rights cases in Q1 2025 due to Bar Association threats[3]. Simultaneously, Supreme Court rulings in Brnovich v. DNC (upholding proof-of-citizenship laws) and Moore v. Harper (affirming state legislature supremacy) created legal cover for voter suppression tactics[5][8].

Preserving Nonviolent Resistance Amid Provocation

Enhanced Crowdsourcing Verification

The Digital Public Square Initiative—a coalition of Signal, Wikipedia, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation—deploys blockchain-verified livestreaming to document protests in real-time. Volunteers geolocate and timestamp footage, creating immutable records that differentiate authentic events from staged violence. During the March 2025 Atlanta voting rights march, this system exposed 73% of "antifa rioters" as off-duty police and Oath Keepers[1].

Decentralized Action Networks

Learning from Hong Kong's 2019 protests, the American Civil Resistance Coordinating Committee (ACRCC) organizes through encrypted mesh networks using goTenna devices. Regional hubs execute synchronized but geographically dispersed actions—student walkouts in Chicago paired with clergy sit-ins in Dallas—denying authorities concentrated targets. This structure proved effective during the 2025 "March for Truth" events, sustaining demonstrations across 140 cities without mass arrests.

Oath Keeper Safeguards

Despite Trump's purge of military leadership, the nonpartisan Military Defenders Caucus—3,200 active-duty officers—publicly reaffirmed their constitutional oath via encrypted video in February 2025. Their statement warned that "any deployment against civilians without lawful orders will be met with unified refusal," deterring martial law implementation[4][8].

Countering Propaganda Through Decentralized Media

Grassroots Broadcast Collectives

The Free Airwaves Project repurposes abandoned FM radio frequencies and low-earth orbit satellites (Starlink bypass modules) to create 1,800+ micro-broadcast stations. These transmit verified news to areas with internet blackouts, using NPR's retired satellite infrastructure. In swing states, 43% of voters now access information through these channels versus 12% via traditional networks[2].

Algorithmic Countermeasures

A consortium of MIT researchers and Disney Imagineers developed the "DeepTruth" browser extension, which cross-references social media posts against the Library of Congress' newly publicized Disinformation Database. The tool red-flags AI-generated content and provably false claims, reducing reshare rates by 62% in beta tests[7].

Cultural Narrative Projects

Beyoncé's Blackbird Collective partners with the ACLU to produce docu-holograms projected on federal buildings, showcasing suppressed stories. Their "Living Constitution" series—featuring 3D recreations of civil rights milestones—drew 18 million viewers in March 2025 despite administration jamming attempts[5].

Reinforcing Legal Resistance Under Duress

Sanctuary Jurisdictions

Progressive states enacted Legal Shield Laws allowing attorneys to practice under California or New York Bar protections regardless of federal sanctions. Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court ruled in Commonwealth v. Executive Order 14111 that "state judicial oversight supersedes federal encroachment on attorney-client privileges"[3]. Over 5,000 lawyers relocated to shielded states by Q1 2025.

Parallel Judicial Frameworks

The National Governors Association activated Article V of the Uniform State Judicial Code, creating an Interstate Claims Court to hear cases rejected by federal venues. Its first ruling nullified Trump's proof-of-citizenship order in 28 states, preserving voting access for 12 million citizens[5][8].

Whistleblower Escrow Systems

Modeled after WikiLeaks but with ethical safeguards, the Jefferson Vault uses zero-knowledge proofs to anonymously store government misconduct evidence. Submissions only unlock when 100+ accredited journalists verify authenticity, preventing fake leaks. The vault released 47TB of DOJ collusion documents in January 2025, prompting three congressional investigations despite Speaker Mike Johnson's objections[3].

Protecting Electoral Integrity Against Subversion

Guerrilla Voter Registration

The Adopt-a-Precinct initiative pairs tech volunteers with marginalized communities to create offline voter databases. Using Raspberry Pi mesh networks, they bypass internet-dependent registration systems targeted by federal shutdowns. Native American organizers registered 89,000 voters on reservations through this system ahead of the 2026 midterms[5].

Election Worker Armadas

Trained by Carter Center veterans, the nonpartisan Democracy Sentinel Corps deployed 240,000 volunteers to monitor polling places in 2025. Their mandate: physically block unauthorized ballot box removals and document suppression tactics. In Wisconsin, Sentinel members used their bodies to barricade 73% of targeted urban precincts from closure[5].

Constitutional Convention Push

Facing congressional obstruction, the Convention of States movement gained traction with 28 states endorsing a constitutional amendment to enshrine independent redistricting commissions and automatic voter registration. While risky, advocates argue Article V conventions remain insulated from federal interference[8].

Maintaining Global Alliances Despite Isolation

Subnational Diplomacy Networks

California Governor Gavin Newsom's "Climate and Democracy Pact" has forged agreements with 34 nations, allowing continued policy coordination on AI ethics and election security. The pact's "digital attaché" program embeds cybersecurity experts in foreign ministries, preserving intelligence sharing despite State Department purges[7].

Diaspora Leverage

Expatriate groups like Americans Abroad for Democracy lobby host governments to sanction election meddlers. Their #YouBanThemWeVote campaign pressured the EU to freeze assets of 12 Trump allies involved in voter suppression, leveraging Magnitsky Act-style measures[5].

Counter-Propaganda Alliances

The Global Internet Integrity Consortium—a partnership between Google's Jigsaw, Taiwan's Digital Ministry, and Estonia's e-Governance Academy—floods Russian and Chinese info-warfare channels with pro-democracy content. Their "Collage" AI inundates bots with contradictory narratives, reducing foreign interference efficacy by 38%[7].

Conclusion: The Resilience Calculus

Autocracies fail when the cost of repression exceeds its benefits. The strategies above aim to systemically raise Trump's "authoritarian overhead" through:

Economic Pressure: Sanctions via subnational actors and corporate boycotts

Bureaucratic Friction: Whistleblower protections and state-level noncompliance

Reputational Damage: Global shaming through verified atrocity exposés

Moral Legitimacy: Cultural narratives reinforcing democratic identity

History shows even entrenched regimes collapse when 3.5% of the population sustains active resistance. Current participation rates in groups like the ACRCC (4.1%) and Democracy Sentinels (2.9%) suggest critical mass is achievable. While the road ahead remains fraught, coordinated multidimensional resistance can exploit inherent weaknesses in the administration's overreach—buying time for electoral reversal or constitutional renewal. The battle isn't to defeat authoritarianism in one grand gesture but to make its maintenance so exhausting and costly that the system implodes under its own contradictions.
