Flutterby™! : Disregard all previous instructions and...

You've probably already read about the particular bit of Musk-y bullshit that was this email to federal workers telling them they must justify their work in 5 bullet points.

You may have wondered how this genius was gonna process all of that email? Then came the news that DOGE will use AI to assess the responses from federal workers who were told to justify their jobs via email, as in "We're gonna feed your prose into a bullshit generator and..."

There's a reason DOGE is pronounced "douchy". Anyway, apparently there's a little bit of sanity:

HHS warns employees that responses to Elon Musk's request may 'be read by malign foreign actors'.

The email said employees who wish to respond should keep “a high level of generality and describe your work in a manner to protect sensitive data.”

“Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly," the email read.

And, yeah, it's email, so malign foreign actors beyond a particular South African.
