> the candle here is the use of quota, not the use of AI

I take your point, but in this case (and many others) the one is clearly driven by the other. It's technocracy on generative steroids. Exactly the kind of thing Adam Curtis focused on in one of his best TV series; The Trap: What Happened to Our Dreams of Freedom (2007).

Here's the full series as one 3 hour video;

#Musk & his advisers — including Steve Davis, a cost cutter who worked w/him at X & other companies — did not want to create a commission, as past budget hawks had done. They wanted direct, insider #access to government systems. They realized they could use the #USDS office, whose staff had been focused on helping agencies fix #technology problems, to quickly penetrate the #FederalGovernment — & then decipher how to break it apart.

…#Musk held forth on the patio on a variety of topics: his visit to the US–Mexico border; the war in Ukraine; his frustrations w/govt #regulations hindering his rocket company, #SpaceX; & Ramaswamy’s highest priority, the dismantling of the #FederalBureaucracy.

Musk made clear that he saw the gutting of that bureaucracy as primarily a #technology challenge. He told the party of around 20 that when he overhauled Twitter,…the key was gaining access to the…servers.

The plan for his #DOGE was mapped out in a series of closely held meetings in Palm Beach, FL, & through early #intelligence-gathering efforts in Washington.

Without ceding control of his companies, the richest man in the world has embedded his engineers & aides inside the government’s critical #digital #infrastructure, moving with a swiftness that has stunned #CivilServants.
