    Musk remains true to his Disney villain character and I stand by my previous wish for his fate to be:

    …eaten by hyenas. Preferably hyenas he had recently betrayed to save his own skin.

    At the rate were going were going to get the bad ending which is:

    …Chinese bombers over Washington blotting out the sun.

    Let me guess.

    A bunch of kids who have never seen COBOL before use AI to rewrite it all into a language they also can’t read, do the bare minimum of checks, and then run millions of payments through it.

    This from the genius bar whose hard drive “overheated” when they ran a query on 60,000 records.

      It does sound a bit like creating plausible deniability for some sketchy transactions later on.

      Ugh that overheated shit pisses me off. Everyone decided they can just make up whatever they want and there will be no repercussions for flat out intentional lies. So annoying.

    He’s going about it all wrong. Make the new system run parallel to the old system, THEN take the old system down. This is being done wrong on purpose.

    For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:

    What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn’t already doing?

    I would bet that there will be an “accidental” bug in the code that deletes every single Social Security account.

    “Are You Alive Project” targeting what these operatives believe to be improper payments and fraud within the agency’s system by calling individual beneficiaries.

    They won’t be when you starve seniors to death on the streets, fucking ghouls.

    Hopefully, when it’s all broken and nobody’s getting their social security payments, maybe some of them will wake up.
