A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System

A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government, three sources tell WIRED. Two of those sources say that Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: The Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and Secure Payment System (SPS) at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). Housed on a top-secret mainframe, these systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy. Despite reporting that suggests that Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force has access to these Treasury systems on a “read-only” level, sources say Elez, who has visited a Kansas City office housing BFS systems, has many administrator-level privileges. Typically, those admin privileges could give someone the power to log into servers through secure shell access, navigate the entire file system, change user permissions, and delete or modify critical files. That could allow someone to bypass the security measures of, and potentially cause irreversible changes to, the very systems they have access to. “You could do anything with these privileges,” says one source with knowledge of the system, who adds that they cannot conceive of a reason that anyone would need them for purposes of simply hunting down fraudulent payments or analyzing disbursement flow. "Technically I don't see why this couldn't happen," a federal IT worker tells WIRED in a phone call late on Monday night, referring to the possibility of a DOGE employee being granted elevated access to a government server. "If you would have asked me a week ago, I'd have told you that this kind of thing would never in a million years happen. But now, who the fuck knows." A source says they are concerned that data could be passed from secure systems to DOGE operatives within the General Services Administration (GSA). WIRED reporting has shown that Elon Musk’s associates—including Nicole Hollander, who slept in Twitter’s offices as Musk acquired the company, and Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who now runs a GSA agency, along with a host of extremely young and inexperienced engineers—have infiltrated the GSA, and have attempted to use White House security credentials to gain access to GSA tech, something experts have said is highly unusual and poses a huge security risk.

How do you think Azkaban works? Do they have extremely depressed house elves making the food for the prisoners? Or do the prisoners themselves have a work rota of cooking and cleaning more or less like muggle prisons? Are the dementors the only wardens, can they ID prisoners in any functional way? Or are there wizards there in admin roles?

Is there a very precarious courtyard gym? Was Lucius Malfoy breaking rocks and getting a stick-and-poke tattoo from one of the Carrows? How do visits work? Are they allowed conjugal visits? Do you think true crime girlies tried to pull that when Sirius was taken in?

Are all the cells the same? Or are maximum security cases like Sirius and Bellatrix kept in isolation, where petty thieves and magic carpet smugglers may bunk together?

Oooh anon here comes an essay ♥️

Food and Labour:

I don’t think the prisoners are cooking or cleaning. The whole point of Azkaban is total hopelessness. Giving prisoners tasks; even dull ones ) could provide structure, which might, god forbid, foster a sense of purpose. Can’t have that- especially as they see insanity as the ultimate punishment. I have a meta about it here

I doubt there are house-elves either.

More likely: the Ministry sends rations to the island — probably magically-preserved sludge that just about keeps people alive. I HC there’s some kind of automated spellwork in the kitchen areas that portions things out so the dementors can deliver it ( dementoroo), designed to serve food that is technically edible, but so soul-crushing it actively hastens psychological collapse.

Wardens and Administration:

Before the post war reforms the Dementors are the primary “guards.”

Can they ID prisoners? Not conventionally. They don’t see with eyes; they feel. (According to Sirius). They can probably distinguish prisoners based on emotional “flavour” the way a sommelier can tell you which vineyard a wine came from.

That said, I refuse to believe even the Ministry would let literal soul-eating wraiths handle all logistics. There must be a handful of extremely unfortunate Ministry workers assigned to admin roles: transporting prisoners, recording deaths, updating rolls. Also who is doing the photoshoots that meant there was a fresh pic of Sirius on hand when he escaped.

Exercise and Recreation

There is absolutely no courtyard gym. None. No Lucius Malfoy doing squats while Crabbe Sr. counts reps.

Exercise is hope. Exercise is self-care and good mental health. Azkaban’s entire ethos is the annihilation of self. I doubt prisoners even get fresh air breaks.

Visits and Conjugal Rights:

Absolutely not. Can you imagine your happiest memory would getting ripped out of your body mid-shag?

Visits would be restricted to extremely rare, Ministry-sanctioned events: trial appeals, re-sentencing, possibly posthumous identification (“Is this the body of your husband? Sign here.”)

As for true crime girlies thirsting over prisoners? Oh, 1000%. Sirius Black would have had deranged fanmail - see end of this for both my fic about his fanmail and my script for a podcast about him. No one would be allowed to visit, but there would be a pile of owl-delivered “you don’t know the real him” letters mouldering in a Ministry mailroom somewhere.

Snippet: Artemisia Black: And now, a quick word from our friends at Mundungus Fletcher’s Legitimate Potion Ingredients! Sponsored Ad Break]

My fanmail fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33898300

Snippet: Documents?’ The guard snorted derisively, shaking his head, as he pulled out a large stack of letters from a drawer in his desk. ‘You mean his fan mail?’

Kingsley controlled the urge to smile. He did mean the fan mail, and he intended to deliver it to its recipient to make him laugh.

‘Yes,’ he said as soberly as he could, ‘They are key documents in my ongoing investigation.’

‘Well, there’s plenty more,’ the guard said, rolling his eyes. ‘Honestly, these people need locking up themselves.’

Fic: Dave the Dementor

https://archiveofourown.org/works/62099272

Snippet: Had he not won Azkaban's Employee of the Year four times in a row after arriving from Iceland as a fresh graduate of the university of human misery?

Oh, how he had savoured his victory over the other Dementors, who had initially mocked his innovative introduction of microtortures.

How they had scoffed when he first suggested seasoning the British prisoners’ food while leaving everyone else’s agonisingly under-seasoned.

Following a White House edict effectively banning federal employees from disclosing their personal pronouns in email signatures, sources within multiple federal agencies say pronouns are now being systemically blocked across multiple email clients and other software.

WIRED confirmed various automated efforts with employees at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the General Services Administration (GSA), the US Department of Agriculture, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The employees spoke to WIRED on condition of anonymity, citing fears of retaliation.

Multiple agency directors sent emails over the weekend telling staff that, due to President Donald Trump’s executive order, their offices would be removing the pronoun capability from Office 365. Employees were told they’d also need to remove pronouns from their email signatures in order to comply with the directive.

A staffer at USAID says the formal deactivation of their ability to list pronouns occurred last week, in response to executive orders defining sexes issued by President Trump on his first day in office. A GSA staffer says pronouns were wiped from employees’ email signatures after hours on Friday and were also no longer visible in Slack, the workplace messaging app. At the CDC, there used to be a section for employees to share their pronouns on their Teams profiles, another workplace app. That field no longer exists.

Reached for comment, the White House transferred WIRED to OPM communications director McLaurine Pinover, who pointed to January 29 memorandum ordering agencies to disable all features “that prompt users for their pronouns.”

The ban on personal pronouns follows sweeping efforts by the White House to eliminate programs that encourage diversity and social justice within the federal government, as well as other references to “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in federal employees’ discourse.

In a striking example of the policy in action, an image surfaced last week of a wall being painted over at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Quantico, Virginia, academy due to it listing "diversity" among the bureau's core values. (According to an email from the FBI’s Office of Integrity and Compliance obtained by Mother Jones, the bureau no longer counts "diversity" among its core values.)

The Trump administration began a radical campaign last week aimed at inducing members of the federal workforce to leave their jobs ahead of threatened reductions. The effort is spearheaded by Elon Musk, leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a task force that has effectively seized control of several federal agencies and sensitive government systems with apparent clearance from the White House.

WIRED reported last week that Musk’s outfit had effectively taken over the Office of Personnel Management, the US government’s human resources department. In this and other efforts, it is employing inexperienced young engineers whose ages range from 19 to 24—many of whom, public records show, are former interns or have been affiliated with Musk-aligned companies.

OPM emailed federal workers on January 28 with a “deferred resignation offer,” sparking widespread confusion among federal workers. (DOGE’s own new HR chief was unable to answer basic questions about the offer in a contentious staff meeting last week, WIRED reported.) In an email to staff Sunday evening, OPM clarified whether the deferred resignation program complied with existing privacy laws. “Yes,” read the answer. “The deferred resignation program uses only basic contact information about federal employees, like name and government address, along with short, voluntary email responses. The information is stored on government systems. To the extent that the Privacy Act applies, all information relevant to the program is covered by existing OPM System Records Notices.”

Multiple agency sources told WIRED last week that several of Musk's lieutenants had been granted access to key computer systems controlled by the GSA, an independent agency tasked by Congress with overseeing federal buildings and providing equipment, supplies, and IT support across the government.

Do gallifreyans have jobs? Like a cashier or a janitor or a nannie?

Do Gallifreyans have jobs?

🎓 Post-Academy Occupations

There's no strict requirement for Gallifreyans to be employed because the concept of money is outdated to many of them, but a lot take up roles to stave off boredom or help in the community. After completing their education, Gallifreyans have several potential career paths, influenced by their level of academic achievement:

5th Grade Graduates

Those who leave the academy after the 5th grade often take roles such as:

Media Commentators

Artists

Aides for Cardinals

Aides for Junior Time Lords

6th Grade Graduates

Passing the 6th grade opens up more technical and administrative roles, like:

Administration and Maintenance of the Citadel

Space Traffic Controllers

Junior Technicians

Temporal Nexus Point Observation Researchers

Lab Assistants

Service in the Watch

7th Grade Graduates

Graduating the 7th Grade is very impressive, and opens up the highest echelons of Gallifreyan society like being a Cardinal or the Lord President. However, not a lot of people get this far.

🤖 Automated Assistance

Gallifreyan society heavily relies on advanced automation to meet virtually every need, reducing the necessity for many jobs humans are used to, for example:

Cleaning Machines: Automated systems patrol city complexes and handle street cleaning.

Druges: Massive automated humanoid servants found throughout Gallifreyan Houses.

Robotic Avatroids: Avatroids supervise children's brainbuffing (intensive education) and act as nannies.

🏫 So…

Gallifreyans don't need to work like humans, but many choose to keep busy with jobs or hobbies that interest them. With all their fancy machines, they can focus on the cool stuff – like art, science, and not-so-menial tasks.

The Trump administration has quietly fired multiple members of the “privacy team” and other officials from the office that oversees the hiring of federal workers, a move that limits outside access to government records related to the security clearances granted to Elon Musk and his associates, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

CNN was first notified of the firings at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in response to a freedom of information act request for records related to the security clearances of Musk and anyone from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who has been granted access to sensitive or classified government networks.

“Good luck with that they just got rid of the entire privacy team,” an OPM email address responded to CNN’s FOIA request.

In addition to the privacy team, members of OPM’s communications staff and employees who handle FOIA requests were also fired, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Some of the firings are not set to take effect until April 15, one of the sources added.

Asked about the firings, an OPM official told CNN that the agency did not lay off the entire privacy team but declined to comment further.

OPM’s privacy team is tasked with ensuring the agency’s data privacy practices meet legal requirements and protect the trust of the public, according to its website.

OPM has been at the forefront of the Trump administration’s efforts to downsize the federal workforce, helping compile lists of probationary employees and sending memos to various agencies about the firings.

The move to fire OPM’s privacy and communication teams appears similar to Musk’s previous move to fire the entire media relations department at Twitter/X so all press inquiries generated back an automated “poop emoji” response.

Musk is using a similar approach to downsize the federal workforce as the one he used at X, after he took over the social media platform, a source familiar with the plans said: “They just closed the gate and then determined who actually needed to be paid based on who complained externally and internally.”

But the move to block outside access to government records related to DOGE personnel also runs counter to Musk’s claims that his team is attempting to be as transparent as possible.

Complying with requests for records is a legal duty that carries penalties enforceable in court, so while firing the people who respond to requests is perhaps an effective delaying tactic, it does not ultimately relieve the government from its legal obligation to turn over public records.

Introducing my fanschool project...

I have two TWST fanschools in progress but I want to show the one I have been developing for a long while...

Luxglow Prep (Fanschool based on Pixar)

Location of the school (Pinpointed on the game's map):

The school is situated in the Land of Dawning, a distance away from Sage's Island but still relatively close.

Description of the School:

"A magical academy that has the same long-standing reputation as Night Raven College, its door are open to students of all backgrounds who wishes to learn and familiarize with the concept of balanced morality."

This school is founded much later than Night Raven College, but has gained an equal amount of recognition by scholars who are given options after their elementary graduation for its highly advanced facilities and utilities, as well as a very well-organized study environment. Thanks to the advancements of magitech, Luxglow Prep is the first ever arcane academy that adapted the use of the technology into their navigation, organization and power source management. At the core of this academy, lies a highly advanced artificial intelligence going by the name "Lampi", who is tasked with managing the student body, the school network and the dorm sorting process. Unlike Night Raven College, their historical inspirations come from spoken tales about each dorm's motto and theme.

How the school system works:

Because it is more advanced technologically, the school system is vastly different than the other arcane academies in Twisted Wonderland. The admission process revolves a transportation vehicle (similar to MVR-A from WALL-E) arriving at the student's residence, before being asked to rest inside a special pod designed with soft cushions like the NRC coffins. They'll be put into a slumber within the pod by a specially-programmed sleep mist administrator.

Once they arrived at the academy, they'll be placed in a stasis chamber, which is where the sorting ceremony will be held, and will be awakened when the time calls for it. Once awoken, they'll be dressed in the ceremonial robes by automated androids situated in the chamber and brought to the sorting area. The sorting area is where Luxglow Prep's sacred magitech artefact resides, a massive enchanted lamp that is said to sort mages by illuminating them with the light that befits their aptitude and their dorm.

The dorms in Luxglow Prep are labeled as "houses" instead (like sorority houses in colleges), and instead of travelling by mirrors, they travel by doors (similar to ones from Monsters Inc), enchanted doorways that can lead a person to a desired location or contains a dimensional pocket space upon entering.

Luxglow Prep Uniforms:

For the uniform look, I wanted to capture the feel of more rich type of school uniforms with the sweater vest and long sleeve shirts. The PE outfit is mostly a full-body tights and a jersey set they can wear. For the alchemy/lab fit, I took some reference inspirations from the CDA hazmat suits from Monsters Inc as a base. And for the ceremonial robe, I picked the one fit Merida is dressed in from Brave, and made it androgynous enough to work as a ceremonial fit. As for the standard wand they'll use, I went for the staff Ian Lightfoot wields from Onward. (Yeap, a lot of pixar references are packed in one go here).

Staff Members and Dorms will be revealed soon.

Is AI fr gonna steal our jobs?

Disclaimer: This post is mostly speculative and meant to encourage discussion and different perspectives on the topic.

Some time ago, I along with many others thought that AI was mostly going to aid in all the task centered, administrative, repetitive jobs. Cashiers, factory workers, call center workers, all the jobs that would benefit from automation were being taken over by AI.

When the ghibli trend came around, it was a guttural shock to many artists.

What used to generate questionable and bad looking art has now developed and is transitioning to generating high quality pieces, videos, music, animation and what not. In a matter of mere months. [AI tools example: midjourney, DALL-E, ChatGPT]

Art is not simply something pretty to look at. It is the accumulation of experiences, emotions and essense of humans. Art is their unique expression and the lens with which they see the world.

This blog is not an argument against the use of AI for art, but a call to understand what it really means.

Did most people see it coming when AI mimicked it with precision?

How long before it starts mimicking creativity, intuition, emotion and depth, all of what we thought was deeply and uniquely human?

"AI works by learning from lots of information, recognizing patterns, and using that knowledge to make decisions or do tasks like a human would." - Chatgpt.

Some time ago, the dominant argument was that AI might be able copy the strokes of a painting, the words of a novel. But it cannot hold the hands of another human and tell them all was well, it cannot feel and experience the real world like us, it cannot connect with humans and it cant innovate and envision new solutions.

If you still believe this, I urge you to go to chatgpt right now and open up to it like it was your friend. It will provide consolidation and advice tailored so well to your individual behaviours that it might feel better than talking to your bestfriend.

What is a deep neurological, experience based and emotional reaction to us is simply just analysis and application of data and patterns to AI. And the difference? Not easily distinguishable to the average human.

As long as the end result is not compromised, it doesnt matter to client and employers whether the process was human or not. Efficiency is often prioritized above substance. And now even substance is being mimicked.

Currently, the prominent discussion online is that in order to improve your job security, we need to master AI tools. Instead of fighting for stability(which is nothing but an illusion now) we need to ride the waves of the new age flooding towards us, and work with Ai instead of fighting against the change.

But the paradox is, the more we use AI the quicker it will learn from us, the quicker it will reduce the need for human guidance and supervision, and the quicker it will replace us.

Times are moving fast. We need everyone to be aware of the rate at which the world is changing and the things that are going on beneath the surface. If we simply take information at face value and avoid research, give it a few years or even months of time, and noone will know what hit us.

"Use of generative AI increased from 33% in 2023 to 71% in 2024. Use of AI by business function for the latest data varied from 36% in IT to 12% in manufacturing. Use of gen AI by business function for the latest data varied from 42% in marketing and sales to 5% in manufacturing."-Mckinsey, Mar 12, 2025.

By 2030, 14% of employees will have been forced to change their career because of- AI-McKinsey.

Since 2000, automation has resulted in 1.7 million manufacturing jobs being lost -BuiltIn

There is a radical change taking momentum right now. It's gonna be humans vs AI starting from the job aspect of the world.

Its not a matter of which jobs and skills are AI proof but which ones is AI likely to take over last.

What I predict personally, is that soon the world leaders are going to have to make a transformative choice.

This can either lead to a world where humans can be provided with money and resources instead of working to earn, as AI generates profit, and we can lay back and enjoy the things we love doing.

Or the other option is that we are going to have to live by scraps as small elite groups take over all the resources and tech.

Dystopia or utopia? The line is blurred.

Thankfully, for now, the choice is in human hands.

[dingodad]

so for the purposes of raising Dirk and Rose's aliens, Terezi has set up "automated suggestions" and some kind of "conditional map that prompts them". which sounds for all the world like some kind of rudimentary AI, right? not only is a "conditional map" a super simplified description of a neural network, but neurons and conditions are both ideas that are fundamental to the Mind aspect. Dirk being nearby is only the icing on this hunch I have that we're heading in some kind of HAL 9000 direction with this.

but here's my little bit of wild speculation. the mysterious GC, who can somehow connect to Vrissy's phone when nobody else can, is in fact that very AI? besides the obvious GC connection:

gavage is the administration of food or nutrients by force, e.g. via a tube down the throat. which is pertinent to a competition involving entire races grown inside a lab, but also feels symbolically befitting of the AI tasked with overseeing such a competition, perhaps force-feeding them commands (possibly also evocative of the gavel an impartial judge might be expected to use?). Cunctation is "delay", which maybe suits a plan to "pop in every couple hundred years to check on the Deltritan races' progress [and] guide them manually" - or rather, gavage cunctation is a drip-feed of commands, set on a couple-hundred-year delay?

Nonprofit Software: A Key to Efficient Mission Management

Nonprofit organizations operate in a challenging environment where maximizing impact is essential while keeping administrative costs low. Managing donations, volunteers, events, and operational workflows can be overwhelming without the right tools. Nonprofit software has emerged as a vital solution, tailored to address the specific needs of mission-driven organizations. These tools streamline operations, enhance donor engagement, and ultimately help nonprofits achieve their goals more effectively.

In this article, we’ll explore the types, benefits, and future of nonprofit software, shedding light on how it empowers organizations to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.

What is Nonprofit Software?

Nonprofit software refers to digital tools and platforms specifically designed to help nonprofits manage their operations efficiently. Unlike generic software, nonprofit-specific tools address core needs such as donor relationship management, fundraising, volunteer coordination, grant tracking, and financial reporting. With features tailored to their unique challenges, nonprofits can save time, optimize resources, and focus on their missions.

Types of Nonprofit Software

Donor Management Software Also known as nonprofit CRM (Customer Relationship Management), donor management software helps organizations track donor interactions, manage contributions, and personalize engagement. Tools like Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, and Little Green Light simplify donor retention and make campaigns more effective.

Fundraising Software Platforms like Classy, Givebutter, and Fundly empower nonprofits to create online fundraising campaigns, process donations, and analyze results. Peer-to-peer fundraising, recurring donations, and mobile giving features enhance the donor experience.

Volunteer Management Tools Managing volunteers is essential for many nonprofits. Tools like VolunteerHub and SignUpGenius streamline recruitment, scheduling, and communication, ensuring an organized and engaged volunteer base.

Grant Management Software Grant tracking tools such as Foundant or Submittable help nonprofits identify funding opportunities, submit applications, and manage deadlines and compliance, improving the chances of securing vital grants.

Accounting and Financial Management Software Nonprofits need tools to maintain transparency and manage budgets. Accounting software like QuickBooks for Nonprofits or Aplos ensures accurate reporting, proper fund allocation, and regulatory compliance.

Event Management Software Nonprofits often rely on events to engage supporters and raise funds. Tools like Eventbrite or Cvent simplify event planning, ticketing, and attendee management, creating seamless experiences for donors and participants.

Benefits of Nonprofit Software

Operational Efficiency Nonprofit software automates routine tasks such as data entry, reporting, and communication, allowing staff to focus on mission-critical activities.

Improved Donor Relationships With donor management tools, nonprofits can personalize outreach, track giving history, and maintain strong relationships that increase donor retention.

Transparency and Accountability Financial and grant management tools ensure that nonprofits comply with regulations and demonstrate transparency to stakeholders, boosting credibility.

Better Decision-Making Analytics and reporting features provide valuable insights into campaign performance, donor behavior, and operational efficiency, enabling data-driven decisions.

Scalability As nonprofits grow, software solutions can scale to accommodate larger donor bases, expanded programs, and increasing complexity.

Challenges of Implementing Nonprofit Software

While nonprofit software offers significant benefits, organizations may face challenges, including:

Budget Constraints: Even with nonprofit discounts, advanced tools can strain limited budgets.

Learning Curve: Staff and volunteers may require training to use the software effectively.

Integration Issues: Ensuring new tools work seamlessly with existing systems can be complex.

Data Security: Protecting sensitive donor and organizational data is crucial and requires robust security measures.

Organizations should evaluate their specific needs, select user-friendly tools, and partner with providers offering support and training to overcome these challenges.

Future of Nonprofit Software

The future of nonprofit software lies in innovation and technology integration. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used to predict donor behavior, optimize outreach, and analyze trends. Blockchain technology is enhancing transparency in donation tracking, while virtual reality (VR) is creating immersive experiences to engage donors. These advancements will further empower nonprofits to achieve their missions efficiently and effectively.

Conclusion

Nonprofit software is transforming the way mission-driven organizations operate. From donor management and fundraising to financial tracking and volunteer coordination, these tools address the unique challenges nonprofits face. By adopting the right software solutions, organizations can save time, optimize resources, and focus on what truly matters—making a difference in the world.

As technology continues to evolve, nonprofit software will remain a cornerstone of effective mission management, helping organizations thrive in a rapidly changing environment. For nonprofits seeking to maximize their impact, investing in the right software is not just an option—it’s a necessity.

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) operates on a core underlying assumption: The United States should be run like a startup. So far, that has mostly meant chaotic firings and an eagerness to steamroll regulations. But no pitch deck in 2025 is complete without an overdose of artificial intelligence, and DOGE is no different.

AI itself doesn’t reflexively deserve pitchforks. It has genuine uses and can create genuine efficiencies. It is not inherently untoward to introduce AI into a workflow, especially if you’re aware of and able to manage around its limitations. It’s not clear, though, that DOGE has embraced any of that nuance. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail; if you have the most access to the most sensitive data in the country, everything looks like an input.

Wherever DOGE has gone, AI has been in tow. Given the opacity of the organization, a lot remains unknown about how exactly it’s being used and where. But two revelations this week show just how extensive—and potentially misguided—DOGE’s AI aspirations are.

At the Department of Housing and Urban Development, a college undergrad has been tasked with using AI to find where HUD regulations may go beyond the strictest interpretation of underlying laws. (Agencies have traditionally had broad interpretive authority when legislation is vague, although the Supreme Court recently shifted that power to the judicial branch.) This is a task that actually makes some sense for AI, which can synthesize information from large documents far faster than a human could. There’s some risk of hallucination—more specifically, of the model spitting out citations that do not in fact exist—but a human needs to approve these recommendations regardless. This is, on one level, what generative AI is actually pretty good at right now: doing tedious work in a systematic way.

There’s something pernicious, though, in asking an AI model to help dismantle the administrative state. (Beyond the fact of it; your mileage will vary there depending on whether you think low-income housing is a societal good or you’re more of a Not in Any Backyard type.) AI doesn’t actually “know” anything about regulations or whether or not they comport with the strictest possible reading of statutes, something that even highly experienced lawyers will disagree on. It needs to be fed a prompt detailing what to look for, which means you can not only work the refs but write the rulebook for them. It is also exceptionally eager to please, to the point that it will confidently make stuff up rather than decline to respond.

If nothing else, it’s the shortest path to a maximalist gutting of a major agency’s authority, with the chance of scattered bullshit thrown in for good measure.

At least it’s an understandable use case. The same can’t be said for another AI effort associated with DOGE. As WIRED reported Friday, an early DOGE recruiter is once again looking for engineers, this time to “design benchmarks and deploy AI agents across live workflows in federal agencies.” His aim is to eliminate tens of thousands of government positions, replacing them with agentic AI and “freeing up” workers for ostensibly “higher impact” duties.

Here the issue is more clear-cut, even if you think the government should by and large be operated by robots. AI agents are still in the early stages; they’re not nearly cut out for this. They may not ever be. It’s like asking a toddler to operate heavy machinery.

DOGE didn’t introduce AI to the US government. In some cases, it has accelerated or revived AI programs that predate it. The General Services Administration had already been working on an internal chatbot for months; DOGE just put the deployment timeline on ludicrous speed. The Defense Department designed software to help automate reductions-in-force decades ago; DOGE engineers have updated AutoRIF for their own ends. (The Social Security Administration has recently introduced a pre-DOGE chatbot as well, which is worth a mention here if only to refer you to the regrettable training video.)

Even those preexisting projects, though, speak to the concerns around DOGE’s use of AI. The problem isn’t artificial intelligence in and of itself. It’s the full-throttle deployment in contexts where mistakes can have devastating consequences. It’s the lack of clarity around what data is being fed where and with what safeguards.

AI is neither a bogeyman nor a panacea. It’s good at some things and bad at others. But DOGE is using it as an imperfect means to destructive ends. It’s prompting its way toward a hollowed-out US government, essential functions of which will almost inevitably have to be assumed by—surprise!—connected Silicon Valley contractors.

Time Management Techniques for Maximum Productivity

 Time control is a important talent that can beautify performance, reduce strain, and enhance paintings-existence stability. Whether you are a student, expert, entrepreneur, or homemaker, managing a while successfully allows you to accomplish greater in less time. Here are a few vital time management strategies that will help you boost productiveness.

Time Management Techniques For Studying

Having well-described desires enables you awareness on what surely subjects and avoids wasting time on non-important tasks.

2. Prioritize Tasks

Not all obligations are of equal significance. Use prioritization strategies to decide which responsibilities require instantaneous interest and that could wait. Some beneficial prioritization methods consist of:

Eisenhower Matrix: Categorize duties into four quadrants:

Urgent and Important: Do straight away

Important however Not Urgent: Schedule for later

Urgent but Not Important: Delegate if feasible

Neither Urgent nor Important: Eliminate

ABCDE Method: Assign letters to responsibilities based totally on their significance, with 'A' being the best priority and 'E' being the bottom.

3. Plan Your Day in Advance

Creating a daily schedule minimizes wasted time and guarantees you live on track. Consider:

Writing a to-do list the night time before or first issue inside the morning.

Using a planner, calendar, or scheduling app to prepare your day.

Allocating precise time slots for each venture to hold awareness and avoid distractions.

4. Use Time Blocking

Time blockading involves dedicating set periods for unique obligations or activities. By assigning fixed time slots to paintings, meetings, exercise, and breaks, you reduce distractions and hold productiveness.

For instance, in case you work from 9 AM to five PM, your time table would possibly seem like this:

9:00 - 10:30 AM: Deep work (excessive-priority tasks)

10:30 - 10:45 AM: Short destroy

10:forty five - 12:00 PM: Meetings/emails

12:00 - 1:00 PM: Lunch wreck

1:00 - 3:00 PM: Project paintings

3:00 - three:15 PM: Break

three:15 - five:00 PM: Admin tasks and wrap-up

five. Follow the Pomodoro Technique

This approach includes running in quick, focused durations (usually 25 minutes) accompanied by a 5-minute destroy. After 4 cycles, take an extended ruin (15–30 minutes). This technique prevents burnout and maintains you inspired.

6. Eliminate Distractions

Identify commonplace distractions that interrupt your workflow and take proactive steps to minimize them:

Turn off non-crucial notifications.

Use website blockers in case you get without difficulty distracted on-line.

Set up a devoted workspace unfastened from noise and interruptions.

Communicate your awareness hours to colleagues, pals, and family.

7. Learn to Say No

Saying sure to the whole lot can lead to overload and inefficiency. Learn to decline commitments that don’t align with your priorities. Politely declining unimportant requests lets in you to cognizance on tasks that certainly matter.

8. Delegate and Outsource

If a venture doesn’t require your understanding, take into account delegating it to someone else. Effective delegation involves:

Identifying obligations others can cope with.

Assigning obligations to succesful people.

Providing clean instructions and expectancies.

Outsourcing duties including administrative work, customer support, or house cleansing can loose up more time for essential responsibilities.

Nine. Use Technology Wisely

Leverage generation to streamline duties and improve performance. Some beneficial equipment include:

Project control apps (Trello, Asana, Monday.Com)

Time tracking apps (Toggl, RescueTime, Clockify)

Note-taking apps (Evernote, OneNote, Notion)

Automation equipment (Zapier, IFTTT, Grammarly for proofreading)

10. Batch Similar Tasks

Grouping comparable tasks together can reduce intellectual switching expenses and growth efficiency. For instance:

Answer emails in distinctive time blocks rather than in the course of the day.

Schedule meetings on the equal day as opposed to scattering them throughout the week.

Handle related administrative duties in a single consultation.

Eleven. Follow the eighty/20 Rule (Pareto Principle)

The Pareto Principle suggests that 80% of consequences come from 20% of efforts. Identify the tasks that have the most big impact and consciousness on them first. Avoid spending excessive time on low-fee sports.

12. Set Deadlines

Setting cut-off dates creates a feel of urgency and facilitates prevent procrastination. Even if a assignment doesn’t have a strict cut-off date, impose one on your self to stay motivated.

13. Take Breaks and Rest

Working constantly with out breaks can lead to burnout and decreased productiveness. Short breaks help refresh your thoughts and keep attention. Consider:

Taking a 5-10 minute spoil each hour.

Stepping outside for sparkling air.

Practicing deep respiration or stretching physical games.

14. Use the Two-Minute Rule

If a challenge takes less than two minutes to complete, do it straight away. This prevents small obligations from collecting and becoming overwhelming.

15. Reflect and Adjust

Regularly assessment your time management strategies to become aware of what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your techniques based on revel in and evolving priorities.
