I dream of the day the People collectively have had enough and just drag the bastards into the street and beat them until they can bastard no more.
One can dream…
He’s hiding behind glass. He won’t know fresh air ever again.
Only silver lining right now is these idiots might just be too stupid to pull off creating their evil empire.
This reminds me of an interview with a Ukrainian soldier, who said of the Russians “we are lucky they are so fucking stupid”. If only that translated into less air superiority by Russia, because that’s where Ukraine struggles.
Second term same as the first?
Can’t wait for some serbian hacker with Xx69 in their name multiple times to destroy the US government because one of Elon’s script kiddies left 42,069 security holes in the fucking system.
Gonna be awesome. lmao.
I’m on it!
They are even dumber than Leslie Nielsen as American president in his parodies.
This was the feeling!!! I couldn’t put my finger on just how this entire thing felt to me, you’ve cleared the skies and allowed the light of recollection to meet my shores!
It feels like 70s-80s slapstick!
I think part of that is that it conjures up cold war era associations.
Definitely! Those “outside time and space”/“post-modern purgatory” vibes are strong nowadays. Every day feels like making busy until the storm hits.
DB_PASS=“postgres” 😬😬😬
I mean it is called “.env_example” afterall… Probably a env file to use for testing, no?
I’m really shocked by the confidence people have here with clearly zero knowledge.
“.env_example” is literally just the example/template which is only updated if new “config” items are needed and it doesn’t contain actual secrets.
Developers copy “.env”/prod and “.env_local” files, which are used for the specific environments. These are in .gitignore so that they’re not accidentally pushed to .git.
For production the “.env” is generated during deployment from secrets in a locked up environment. (I mean they COULD fuck this up, but there’s no evidence of this AFAIK)
The example postgres password is simply a “hello world” type password that is often used when running a local docker image of the DB so you can get a full dev environment running in a couple minutes, as mentioned in the readme.md: https://github.com/gsa-tts-archived/ai-gov-api
It’s not even a testing environment, it’s a temporary local/dev DB just so you can test your code.
I am NOT defending this project, but holy shit this thread is full of misinformation and I had to correct this.
so, uh… can you ELI5 this for those of us that don’t know anything?
The type of database they are using is called “postgres”, which is also it’s password.
They should’ve used “1234”
That’s the combo on my luggage!
I will assume this is just the password they use in development. But they should probably be using pglite.
Postgres, SQLite, etc are tools for database management, things like user data, application data and so on are collected here.
Edit: the
DB_PASS=“postgres”is the default password when setting up a Postgres database.Take Reddit’s Karma system or Upvotes/Downvotes for example, they’re stored in a database and however Reddit wants to utilize that data Postgres makes it easy to call upon it.
I’m sure others can give more detailed responses, I’m typing this out in a rush.
Interesting that you chose Reddit as an example. They have a fascinating origin story with respect to data mart. Early Reddit had just two tables: Thing and Data, where Thing was metadata about types and Data was a three column table with: type, id, and value.
Wrap your head around that. All of Reddit, two tables. A database couldn’t be less normalized (final boss of normal forms) and they did it in an rdb. So horrific it’s actually kind of cool.
Interesting that you chose Reddit as an example.
I was in a rush! Honestly it was the quickest thing I could come up with on the spot, plus database tools are something I lack a lot of knowledge about so I really couldn’t go in depth even if I wanted to.
Appreciate the history behind Reddit’s database!
It’s like having your password set to “password”
The person you replied to doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It’s just an example password used for running a local empty DB for development and has nothing to do with production or even test databases.
You can see this in the readme: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgsa-tts-archived%2Fai-gov-api
See my longer previous comment if you want to know more. And again, not defending this project, but this whole comment chain was just misinformation.
The stupid is intensifying. They both a) know they can’t run a government and b) are in a rush to make something that will do all the work so they can sit back and rake in the money. No, this is not about actually making the country better because objectively LLMs suck and were never intended for such tasks.
They are too generic and lack the specialization needed to do such tasks. It will only end in disaster
Well good luck to you guys in the US. This AI government will be extremely dangerous. An all knowing advertisement algorithm reaching deep in government data with an unsafe LLM on top? Ouch.
Move fast and break things is not good when government is involved.
What do we want? sKYNET!!!
When do we want it? As soon as it can beat beginner atari chess?!?!

There’s no time! We’ll have to just go for it! (apparently)
I want off Mr Bone’s wild ride
Edit: this was meant to be a reply to a comment on here about how the Dems/Republicans are the same where dude threw in a bunch of links to “show” stuff that the links didn’t actually show. So deserved down votes I suppose but will leave this here.
Not sure if they have a terrible memory, I think you just have poor reading comprehension. Just glancing through a few of the articles you sent trying to “gotcha” some poster(s) here shows you didn’t even read them. If you did read them you did a bad job understanding the material.
Just for the deportation example: Biden’s deportation and immigration enforcement was not the same as Trump’s now. Biden was aggressively going after actual criminals and he was working to create a path to citizenship for folks that have been here illegally for years and put down roots and contributed to our economy. Now we’re seeing ICE rounding up people for nothing more than their skin color and a “suspicion” they’re not documented. So, just straight up racism.
You included an article where the Dems wanted to keep the green party off a ballot, ok … And? They’re not trying to keep people from voting or suppress the vote. They were trying their best to not have a spoiler candidate on the ballot and felt that aligned with the state’s election laws.
Anyways, I wouldn’t call the parties the same when you can just look at what policies and legislation passed under Democrats vs Republicans. Easy example - the affordable care act.
I have a sneaking suspicion you’re in the wrong post dude
That was meant to be a reply to another post you’re right. Not sure how that happened. Whoopsies! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Archived backup here
fucking gross. it’s JavaScript.
Wut
Any backups of the repository itself (and not the GitHub rendering)?
not that i know of
Inb4 unpatchable backdoor in environment directory
Speedrun to Idiocracy.
A new PB!
Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.
With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM “decided” that you probably are a terrorist…
