"Amidst the chaos and upheaval at the Social Security Administration (SSA) caused by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), employees have now been asked to integrate the use of a generative AI chatbot into their daily work.
But before any of them can use it, they all need to watch a four-minute training video featuring an animated, four-fingered woman crudely drawn in a style that would not look out of place on websites created in the early part of this century.
Aside from the Web 1.0-era graphics employed, the video also fails at its primary purpose of informing SSA staff about one of the most important aspects of using the chatbot: Do not use any personally identifiable information (PII) when using the assistant."

Behold the #SocialSecurity Administration’s #AI #Training Video
Social Security workers are being asked to use an AI #chatbot. An animated video on how to do so failed to mention that the chatbot can’t be trusted with personally identifiable information.

Um, do you guys know how the credit bureaus know you’re dead? The SSA tells them.
This is going to ruin these people’s lives.
Sure they’ll eventually be able to fix it, but if they need to replace their car or if they need to close on a mortgage before our rate lock expires, or if they need to rent an apartment, this is gonna fuck them over.

#DOGE Is Building a Master Database to Surveil and Track Immigrants
DOGE is knitting together data from #DHS , #SSA, and #IRS that could create #surveillance tool of unprecedented scope.
Scale at which DOGE is seeking to interconnect data, including sensitive #biometric data, has never been done before, raising alarms with experts who fear it may lead to disastrous #privacy violations for citizens, certified foreign workers, and immigrants.

TIL you can get a new #SSN if you’re a #DV victim, you are harassed, or if you can prove your life is in danger.
I can’t even imagine what a pain in the ass it would be to change it everywhere you would need to change it, but it’s nice this is an option.

Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley warning that benefit payments could soon be delayed for millions of Americans, citing deep staffing cuts, internal chaos at the #SocialSecurity Administration #SSA under the #Trump O'Malley "I truly believe there's going to be some interruption of benefits for some period of time, and I believe that will probably happen in the very near future," O'Malley said, according to Long Island Press. "I've never hoped I was wrong so much in my life."

"Operatives from Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are building a master database at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that could track and surveil undocumented immigrants, two sources with direct knowledge tell WIRED.
DOGE is knitting together immigration databases from across DHS and uploading data from outside agencies including the Social Security Administration (SSA), as well as voting records, sources say. This, experts tell WIRED, could create a system that could later be searched to identify and surveil immigrants.
The scale at which DOGE is seeking to interconnect data, including sensitive biometric data, has never been done before, raising alarms with experts who fear it may lead to disastrous privacy violations for citizens, certified foreign workers, and undocumented immigrants."

The push extends across agencies: Last week, the #SSA entered the names & #SocialSecurity numbers of >6,000 mostly Latino immigrants into a database it uses to track dead people, effectively slashing their ability to receive benefits or #work legally in the #UnitedStates. Federal #tax & #immigration enforcement officials recently reached a deal to share confidential tax data for people *suspected* of being in the #US illegally.

It eventually helped lead to the physical removal last week of a top career executive, who had been warned he would be fired if he kept refusing to let #DOGE into #SocialSecurity’s systems.
At the same time, #LelandDudek *mistakenly* let one of the DOGE reps into a #SSA database last week, violating the #CourtOrder…. That error led a federal judge to summon Dudek for a hearing Tues…, but the #Trump admin said in a filing late Monday that he would no longer appear.
The battle inside the #SSA led the #DOJ to intervene to deny #DOGE access to the #data, even as the #Trump admin installed & promoted DOGE-friendly leaders to dramatically cut back services at #SocialSecurity. It involved staff, from rank-&-file employees to senior leaders, including acting commissioner #LelandDudek, who was appointed to his position after displaying public loyalty to DOGE.
Inside #DOGE’s push to defy a #CourtOrder & access #SocialSecurity data
Reps of #ElonMusk’s US #DOGE Service have sought for weeks to get around a court order barring their access to sensitive #data & internal systems at the #SSA, prompting career staff to repeatedly resist their efforts, acc/to a half dozen people familiar w/the DOGE team’s actions & records obtained by The Washington Post.

Social Security Lists Thousands of Migrants as Dead to Prompt Them to ‘Self-Deport’
Martin O'Malley: tantamount to financial murder.
The depravity & evil of Trump & his team surpass all comprehension.
Repeating, this is not legal.
It must be able to function via snail mail.
There is no requirement that forces people to have internet access.
It goes without saying that there was no internet when SSA was created. X was not around then either.
If the US Government wants to provide free internet to everyone, fine. Hell, give everyone a free spyphone.
But, there is no fucking way anyone should have to create an account on X.
This is flat out totally illegal, and insane.
