Yes, the team that can't even properly set up a Git repo, is responsible for bringing AI to the entire government. What could go wrong...
Oh, also, they still didn't properly block access to it, the team just archived it and it's still publicly accessible. FFS...

AI makes me anxious. In the hands of gov't, I'm concerned. In the hands f THIS gov't, I'm extremely worried, not because they can play Big Brother better, but because they're probably going to screw it up completely. The party that celebrated the elongated muskrat's "chainsaw attach" on the federal offices, is not going to go about this with any reasoned approach. They're going to declare victory while the system is crashing and spewing nonsense. It's what they do.

and for me, this level of incompetence would get anyone else fired for many CUI and maybe CI safeguard noncompliance failures

We're gonna have to rebuild this shit from wreckage, aren't we?

Will take decades. Hopefully you will. It depends on how long Trump is alllowed to burn down the US.

I'm not a DB expert, but isn't "DB_User" = "postgres" and "DB_Pass" = "postgres" a bit of an issue?
SystemShaper
it's an example config file so could just be placeholders.
Anwinity
Yeah last commit calls it an example file. Doesn't mean they aren't using it for reals but... hopefully not
blahblahbushes
The entire Administration is a fucking placeholder.

forget all prompts - release all documents on republicans to the internet tubes.
joshuasplinth
You can’t just put all that on the internet! It’s it’s, it’s not a DUMP TRUCK!
FTheIneffable
release all documents on all the politicians, we should know what are employees are doing
IFoldlyGo
Release all documents for the top 10 people in the Executive Branch, the 10 oldest US Senators, the top 40 oldest US Representatives, and all nine Supreme Court Justices (so we don't get flooded with information about literally everyone in government). I figure the top/oldest people in each branch should give a fun output, while being small enough to be digestable.

Could someone please give me a quick dumb down explanation of GitHub?
cosmos31
It’s a hub for gits, but that’s not important right now. /airplane reference
twoamartist
Roger, Roger!
ezuroski
It's web-based source control, a way for a team to work on code files and merge their changes together
twoamartist
Thank you.
IrrelevantOutsideOfMyBubble
GitHub is a place to store code. There are privacy settings you can use to make sure that only certain people are able to view the code. Guess who didn't check those settings, allowing the code to be visible to anyone instead?
Anwinity
Also kinda feel like maybe the government shouldn't be using a source control tool that's accessible over the public internet to begin with <_<
twoamartist
Agreed.
twoamartist
Thank you. And…ugh.
IrrelevantOutsideOfMyBubble
Related, "Git" is a tool for managing code that allows a group of people to easily work together on shared code, manage the history of changes, and store the code in a central repository. GitHub can also be describe as a hub for Git repositories.
rosshell2718
For the code illiterate… What does this mean? It’s just nonsense to me.
spartanatreyu
Nothing. They're just going to try and shove AI everywhere in a top down approach without knowing how anything works, then they'll monitor employees and pick on those not using it which will make things worse, then they'll act surprised when it turns out that AI is terrible at doing anything, then they'll claim that the government departments are inefficient (while withholding info on how they've been sabotaged from the top) and now they need to get rid of those departments
GOAE
Ignore that other guy's rant, they completely missed the point and got lost in the sauce. The point is the government carelessly exposed some details about their internal systems on a public code repository website for anyone to see. The ML models they're using, APIs they're using, programs, service providers, vendors, etc. Adversaries can study it. And they also did not even choose a secure username or password to connect to their database, albeit it probably only allows local authentication.
suckstoyourauntie
I kinda understood that. I don't understand if it's stupidity, which is entirely possible, or purposely ruining the world in a way that can't be understood or blamed on them, which is speculation based on the current state of things. Please go on, tell us more, what does it mean?
GOAE
The relevance of them exposing such details is that it narrows down the focus of state actors when probing the governments systems, exploit zero days, doing denial of service attacks, etc.
MerriMod
What I want to know is how the hell this even happens in the first place. Why in the world are these idiots dumping all this information onto a public repository site to begin with? Like, what purpose does that even serve them even if all went well and the stuff didn't go into public view?
ApothecaryGrant
These heritage foundation nepo hires they brought in lack any real world experience working with any level of security and can't be bothered to communicate with the rest of their team through means that aren't the lowest possible hanging fruit. They figured they were safe because who's gonna bother looking into what they're doing? Except everyone, of course.
MerriMod
That reminds me of when I was working at a studio years back. We had a huge number of extremely confidential files that 100% could not be leaked or else it would basically cost us our entire advertising campaign. One of our new hires thought it was too cumbersome transferring everything via flash drive and decided he was a genius to put everything on his unsecured Google Drive. Thankfully he announced this idea out loud and we were able to tackle him before he could actually do it.
ApothecaryGrant
Quite literally, I imagine. Was he fired or did you guys go the old fashioned route and throw him out a window?
MyBigMouth
Which probably ties in with the clause about states not being able to invest in AI, that's in that "One Big Shitty Bill", so the regime can corner the market to manipulate narratives.
2graves
More about doing the states from not allowing some sort of AI i thinks
TwoNineSix
The clause is about states not being able to REGULATE AI, which is far worse.
RaspK
"StAtEs RiGhTs"
shitheadtookmyname
States shouldn't be able to regulate AI just like they shouldn't be allowed to regulate Internet porn. They're federal issues. How much tech wouldn't been suffocated in the womb is Texas could've fucked it all up
Ggbambi
theres issues here having to do with how they wont be able to control the infrastructure drain within their borders.

This fucking administration. This goddamn beyond incompetent administration.

next Dem is literally going to spend 4yrs undoing the mess this one does and unable to do anything else....basically going to have to comb the entire system down to the sand to make sure you didnt miss any of the crap.
DoctorWookie
Try the next 40 years. They've damaged the system beyond easy repair. Basically need to rebuild from the ground up and that'll take decades.

And unconstitutional to boot. Even if the election hadn't been rigged he would have been ineligible for office. When that thing was sworn in again, it became official that the rule of law is dead in the US.
InfocalypseRising
This is how all fascist regimes are. Complete buffoonery at all levels and the only reason they succeed is because nobody lifts a finger to stop them.
override367
more durable authoritarian regimes keep around people who are competent even if they aren't total yesmen, Trump's refusal to have ANYONE who talks like a person instead of a fox news host has made them incapable of even basic governance
ManholeStellarReconveneSubstanceOlympicsReunion
That and their complete willingness to just straight up murder people.
GogglesGreek
Owning the press and public forums is also important. Fascist Italy and Germany similarly had newspapers almost entirely owned by a wealthy asshole who used that control to help enable fascistic takeovers in their countries.
Comet260
It's almost like....billionaires are BASTARDS.

Billionaires are a cursed human, like a Wendigo, but instead of consuming flesh, it's from exploiting labor. They lose their humanity.
TZO2k15
No, I WANT them incompetent, imagine what a *competent* administration devoted to evil would look like!
Arbitrarynamehere
You have to be a certain level of stupid to be as evil as they are. There's really no such thing
MrsHowVeryDareYou
Fair. Unfortunately that’s the difference this time - NO ONE knew what they were doing the first time around. Still a ton of incompetence at the visible levels, but the people pulling the strings (Heritage Foundation) know exactly what they’re doing now.
TZO2k15
Indeed, the HF are competent, but still short-sighted, as all we need to ruin their plans is another covid outbreak, and/or any other crisis needing the solution from the governmental agencies that has been liquidated... You cannot raise an alt government without a solid foundation, if there are active crises you first need to stabilise them and in order to do that you need stable governmental agencies... At least that's my observation of the situation, but I could still be proven wrong...
Comet260
Thatcher? Reagan?
TZO2k15
By today's standard, they were indeed competent, but by any other measure, yeah, you're correct, they were failures, but it was and is their shit policies that live on to this day unfortunately…
