While everyone has been watching the DOGE of Venice Elon Musk’s DOGE software programmers chew their way through the corrupt federal government, one wonders exactly where all this will end. Don’t get me wrong, I’m entirely in favor of much of what I see going on. The administrative bureaucracy is far too big, far too inefficient, and far too independent of any oversight or responsibility. I’ll even say I’m very pleased to get rid of USAID, and I’m not terribly upset about the squawking about constitutionality and oversight that’s going on, since many of the people doing the squawking and shrieking weren’t doing so until now, when something real is finally being done to rein in the out of control racketeering that we call a government.

Perhaps one might go so far as to say that Mr. Musk is owed yet another debt of gratitude for exposing a few other things: the fact that no cyber system is secure (especially the government’s), and the fact that, if he can do it and track all these payments, what was FINCEN and all the other government agencies like the General Accounting Office or even the Pentagram doing when they informed us that they had lost a few trillion dollars and can’t find any of it? If nothing else, the Venetian Doge’s Musk’s Doge’s efforts are clarifying that when the government says they’ve lost some money, they’re probably lying. They know where it is, they just don’t want to go and get it for a variety of reasons, not the least of which would be because it would probably expose their own lawbreaking. Catherine Austin Fitts once remarked to me, and has also said this publicly, that when she was at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), she discovered the entire department was being run as a criminal enterprise. It’s becoming apparent from the revelations coming from the Piazza San Marco Musk’s Doge that the entire federal government is being run that way, and that fraud – to borrow another observation from Ms. Fitts – has become its business model and standard practice.
But I have to wonder something else, and I’m sure it’s occurred to many in the readership of this website: as Musk’s software mice are chewing their way through the porous cheese of the federal government’s computers, who’s to say they’re not planting stuff in them? Permanent backdoors perhaps, or who’s to say someone else presently unknown is not piggybacking on their efforts? I raise all these types of questions not because I’m against what I’m seeing per se, but rather, questioning what could be other deeper and more covert purposes entirely. We also know, for example, that the Doge Mr. Musk wants to install his neuralnet in people’s brains so we can be permanently attached to, and be tracked and monitored by, the “net.” Or to put it in Venetian terms: all those old lion’s heads on the Doge’s palazzo in Venice with a little hole in their mouths beneath signs that read “For Secret Denunciations” will simply be planted in your brain. No lion’s heads needed, and you can denounce yourself, or be quickly brought to heel if you’re getting out of line. Did I mention he’s put up gobs of satellite, and wants to go to Mars?
So… as I’ve been contemplating these things, S.C.G. sent along the following article that has me wondering about another possibility as the Most Serene Republic of Venice the not-so-serene-and-dystopian-States-of-Amurikah might have other uses entirely for all this computer wizardry being so generously provided by the newest member of its Golden Book of Nobility (with our thanks to S.C.G.):
US firm unveils plan for 100,000-strong humanoid robot army to counter China
The first thing to observe about the robotic technology being discussed is this:
A notable aspect of Figure’s robots is their reliance on artificial intelligence. “Last week, we successfully began running an end-to-end neural network on the new client’s use case,” Adcock said in his update. “Learning the use case with AI is the only path here as heuristics would be impossible to write.”
He also mentioned that each instance of these AI-driven policies in action “feels like pure magic,” highlighting the potential for self-learning robots to adapt quickly to different tasks.
Now I’ve mentioned in this blog Ms. Catherine Fitts’ various statements over the years, and one of the observations that she has also repeatedly made is that she believes one reason for artificial intelligence and “neural nets” such as the Doge Mr. Musk has promoted is not really for the purpose of enhancing humanity, but rather so that humanity can go about its daily tasks, dutifully recording how to do so on the attached neural net, and this in term can be downloaded to robots, and voila, the “learning and programming curve” for the robot is dramatically reduced. As one of the spokesman for the company doing all of this, Figure AI observes, this approach is necessary because
