Of course they were gonna do this. These people cannot be fucked to understand anything
UPDATE: Responses to the Elon Musk-directed email to government employees about what work they accomplished over the past week are expected to be fed into an artificial intelligence system to determine whether those jobs are necessary or not, sources say.
DOGE will use AI to assess the responses from federal workers who were told to justify their jobs via email
The revelation comes as federal workers face a midnight deadline to respond to an email from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
