LLM to review PDFs, a demo of a LLM chat bot, and zero self-awareness.

Yes, let's trust the person scared for their job talking to the person representing the group responsible for letting people go. I'm sure they had a completely unbiased opinion and had no reason to blow smoke up your butt. /s

Reading through the Fast Company article that lost him his job [0] it really comes across as someone who should know better but doesn't.

> “I’m basically taking Elon at his word,” he admits.

Bozo bit flipped.

Also someone who has a very self-inflated sense of worth

> But in the government, I really believe that I can have billions of dollars of positive impact just by being technically minded.

Does the government need improving/modernizing? Yes. Is the way to do it with a sledgehammer? No.

I don't know what you call someone who seems unconcerned of the fact that the wool has been pulled over their eyes and wears their gullibility proudly for all to see. To get fired for talking to the press without explanation and just being ok with that?? Just insanity.

I honestly wonder how the author can sleep at night.

Probably spends all night smelling his own farts.

His claim to fame is that he made a simple url shortener, added stripe integration to it and tried to sell people on this as a billion dollar business.

And a bunch of SV angel investors were dumb enough to give him over a million dollars in seed funding for this.

Sounds like someone who genuinely wants to make an impact, donated his time to do so, and wrote some stuff to potentially help while giving us a glimpse into the daily life of a high-profile group. I really appreciate this.

The article literally writes "Meanwhile, the public was seeing news reports of mass firings that seemed cruel and heartless, many assuming DOGE was directly responsible. In reality, DOGE had no direct authority." as well as "Built org chart tools: Interactive visualizations to aid RIF execution for 473,000 employees".

The guy assisted in firing 1/2 million people but thinks that DOGE had nothing to do with it.
