If someone can conceive of an AI use case, are we all obliged to try to make it work? . Have we sleepwalked into some kind of can-do engineering mindset when what we really need is to do a better job of simply saying NOPE?. Seems like we never say nope? And that canāt be right.

Our statistical community is superb. World class. We must have their backs right now because we all need trustworthy data.

Comm. McEntarfer likely knew she was at risk once these numbers were released, but she did it anyhow. Good that she forced Trump to fire her, rather than acquiescing or stepping down. The stats community is strong & principled. Hold tight folks. Be outraged but do not give up.
I've worked closely with Erika. I know of no economist who is more data-focused & devoted to truth in statistics. She never shied from speaking truth to power when the data were disappointing. Nothing would be worse for US credibility than political meddling in our economic data.

When the govt expresses its reasons for changing regulations ā and let me be clear that this is bedrock administrative law ā we expect the agency to be giving its own, actual reasons. So asking a computer to draft those isnāt gonna work, or at least Iād argue that it shouldnāt.

Iāve got a paper on whether the govt can lawfully outsource its reasoning to AI for rulemaking. TL;DR nope!. I argue that when the govt has a duty to reason (as it does in rulemaking) that duty cannot be fulfilled by someone/thing outside of govt.
SCOOP: DOGE has built an AI tool to cut 50 percent of federal regulations. The goal is to kill 100,000 regs by the one year anniversary of Trump's inauguration. w/ @JStein_WaPo @ddiamond @rachsieg.

If you know me you know that Iām not a hot take factory. Iād rather do anything else. This risk is worth it. This š§µ is why ALL senators (R&D) should oppose Russ Voughtās confirmation. If confirmed, V will (continue to) take an anti-democratic approach to our federal dollars.

Most people also wouldnāt tolerate this in their own life. If someone you made a deal with reneged, I doubt youād keep making deals with them. This is the impoundments problem, but on the scale of the entire country and the world.

Even if you think thatās ok if Trump is President, would you want someone from the other party to be able to do that, too? Probably not.

Thatās Congressā power of the purse working against the Presidentās own powers; checks & balances. When they come to a deal itās bc WE (the voters) sent them there to make a deal. But when a president renegs on that deal he disregards our power & takes it all for himself.

Impoundments are an example of how Trumpās second term is starting off in an undemocratic way. Let me see if I can explain. When Congress comes to a deal with the president on how to spend federal $, they are both doing so on behalf of the voters who sent them to DC.

The OMB is like the governmentās central nervous system ā it, and its director, are at the center of pretty much everything.
