Four Coders With Unprecedented Access And Algorithms Ready To Run

I am new to posting so I hope I get this right. It is a link aTrumper friend emailed to me that is an inside story on the Musk operation that I find both telling and troubling and I wanted to share with the DU community. I found it to be fascinating reading because of the extreme boasting, so here goes. It is somewhat long but well worth the reading as it represents what we are up against.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four young coders with laptops proved that. One thousand pre-positioned personnel proved that. A president counting weeks proved that.

The sun continues rising over Washington. Classical columns still cast their shadows. But inside those buildings, everything has changed. The administrative state finally met its match: preparation plus presidential will plus technological precision.

This isn't the end of the story. This is just the beginning.

The revolution isn't just continuing. It's becoming the new normal.

And for those who thought the D E E P S T A T E would rule forever?

They're about to learn what happens when smart strategic minds meet determination. When preparation meets opportunity. When a new generation decides it's time for change.

The storm isn't just gathering. It's here to stay.

Does that actually make them coders?

It would be the algorithms for Musk's AI software. Obviously, the code would be at a very high level.

Both links are the same thing so sorry about that. On proof I didn't see the link so I added it again as the 1st link was hidden on the 2nd page. Like I said, I am new at top posting.

liberated stalled projects so suddenly potholes in Springfield OH were fixed, and a woman was in tears over the potholes finally being fixed, while "data analysts with laptops" oversaw the crews filling the potholes and then showed her "real-time data flows" of her tax dollars "actually working."

So I googled it, and it's pure BS. Like Trump's idiotic "sir" stories.

Btw, the info on that site says these are stories "crafted to help us see what's possible."

So, propaganda as fiction.

So that was a warning. But the Trumpers see this as the gospel. How scary is that?

I should have said "top posting". Yes, I have replied many, many times to what others have top posted. I have tried top posting a handful of times but have a high rate of rejections for technical reasons such as posting in the wrong forum.
