    DOGE has so far failed to realize that marking people in the ancient Social Security database as 150 years old means they’re dead and not receiving payments.

    You know, I’m deeply curious where he thinks these payments are going? As in, are banks holding accounts for these people? Are they directly cashing checks somewhere? Even if social security is issuing the funds someone has to be receiving them and a casket, while a large up-front investment, can’t sign for deliveries as it were.

    Was this the Musk and Rogan episode where Musk revealed a powerful new Grok ability? (It can now say shit and fuck) and laughed really oddly about it?

    Also, despite following LW style people (he follow(s/ed) slatestarcodex on twitter), he again shows that he doesn’t understand the LW fears of AGI. Worrying about a woke nanny AGI, and not the woke wirehead AGI (wireheading being a lot scarier).
