Musk’s DOGE expanding his Grok AI in US government, raising conflict concerns (www.reuters.com)

Billionaire Elon Musk’s DOGE team is expanding use of his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok in the U.S. federal government to analyze data, said three people familiar with the matter, potentially violating conflict-of-interest laws and putting at risk sensitive information on millions of Americans. Such use of Grok could reinforce concerns among privacy advocates and others that Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team appears to be casting aside long-established protections over the handling of sensitive data as President Donald Trump shakes up the U.S. bureaucracy.

It's okay, states rights will protect people from AI.

If that fails, we'll build a wall of sarcasm.

Surround that with a pit of despair.

Hopefully someone finds an exploit for Grok to get it to divulge personal details of billionaires and their homes so we can visit.

This kind of language is exactly why the non-radical part of population loses every time.

So, the de facto co-dictator of US putting his bullshit machine which he can directly influence to leave out whatever he wants is "raising conflict concerns?"

You sure those are the words you want to use? This is ridiculous.

Conflict concerns is basically the theme song of the Trump presidency
