Generating boring one off analysis scripts is the best use case for AI code writing, so can’t fault them for doing so. For serious projects I found LLMs—even cutting edge Claude Sonnet 3.7 in agent mode—just can’t generate a large amount of code with the level of consistency and quality I expect and fixing such code is barely faster than writing it myself with AI autocomplete. But little scripts that I throw away after a single use? What used to take fifteen minutes or longer now takes thirty seconds.

Genuinely curious here. How does this relate to Putin being captured by Russia/Putin? This, to me, looks like textbook ineptitude not foreign interference.
I want to be clear. I'm not casting doubt on observations that Trump does currently echo Russian talking points. I'm also not trying to argue that he's not captured by Russian interests. I'm merely wondering how this specific piece of information points to that conclusion.

#35That is chatgpt generated code too.

#36A bit more on Jordan Wick: https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/doge-agent-jordan-wick/ I'm a bit on the edge regarding to why someone on DOGE should collect data on critical infrastructure, even if it's available to the public audience for free. I'm also quite worried by the possibility to filter federal workers based on the union status
Saying “the quiet part out loud” is kind of a hallmark with this team’s approach though, so watching it steamroll over any auspices of ethical behavior is noteworthy.

#38A nothingburger. Not common to see such blatant misinfo high on HN. I do have higher expectations on this and people here instead of people jumping on a hatewagon :/ Community note on the post: The geospatial data the reporter claims is "sensitive data" is not actually sensitive data. It is open source data. The source files in the DOGE employee's GitHub repository point to an open source site accessible by anyone. h…

I understand your question's fairness, but consider what's actually being exposed here: geospatial data on undersea cables, ports, and "critical minerals" - precisely the vulnerable infrastructure points that would interest foreign intelligence services, particularly Russia.
This isn't mere incompetence - it's a clear alarming pattern. The Trump administration has consistently mishandled classified information while simultaneously adopting positions that align perfectly with Russian strategic interests regarding NATO, Ukraine, and European security.
When a DOGE staffer carelessly exposes sensitive infrastructure data that maps America's strategic vulnerabilities, and does so while the administration pushes policies beneficial to Russia, the connection becomes impossible to ignore.
This incident isn't separate from Russian influence - it's another manifestation of how this administration's OpSec is compromised at the most fundamental level, creating opportunities for exploitation by the very foreign powers they seem reluctant to oppose.

You can even tell that's ChatGPT rather than, say, Claude. Redundant obvious comments are a stylistic signature of their models.
I make comments like this all the time because I write code for people to read, not robots. Well-commented code allows you to skim very quickly, and gives a sanity check, allowing others to ensure a line or block of code does what it is expected to do.
