If you actually believe that he didn't, you are, at best, out of touch.
His little "DOGE" endeavor was actively caught exfiltrating personal data about everyone in the country, and the first thing that happened after SpaceX acquired Cursor was pumping all of the data Cursor had acquired into Grok training.
He is quite literally the shining example of "Imma do what I want, even if it's against my own terms of service or otherwise illegal, and then you can try to sue me over it later".
I dunno how it is in America, but in my country if the largest individual donor was granted carte blanche to run his own department within the administration, with his own people, answerable only to the head of the government, it would cause a helluva lot of outrage.
"Carte blanche but don't touch all of these things"
Yeah. There's a reason he had a falling out with Donald.
There's a ton of agencies with a lot of power. DOGE ideally would have used said power for good, but got blocked again by again by an infinite mountain of corruption. People should not work in favor of said mountain.
And people really don't recognize the value of DOGE's self-sacrifice by design, having a limited time to act out its mission. Nothing comes even close to the honesty in the operation in such a swamp.
Don't really get the incredulity considering he needs to justify the tens of billions already spent on AI infrastructure by, you know, training a model or two ...
Claude just added Health Connect integration for Android.
Meanwhile Copilot launched a full bot for it:
"Dos and don’ts of medical AI
While AI is a useful tool that can help you understand medical information, it’s important to clarify what it’s designed to do (and what it isn’t).
Dos:
Use AI as a reliable guide for finding doctors and understanding care options.
Let AI act as an always available medical assistant that explains information clearly.
Use AI as a transparent, unbiased source of clinically validated health content.
Don’ts:
Don’t use AI for medical diagnosis. If you’re concerned you may have a medical issue, you should seek the help of a medical professional.
Don’t replace your doctor or primary care provider with an “AI doctor”. AI isn’t a doctor. You should always consult a professional before making any medical decisions.
This clarity is what makes Copilot safe"
