Saturday Morning Covfefe: 5 Stories That Made Me Reach for Stronger Coffee
Olivia of Troye
Let’s get into it.
1. When DOGE Let ChatGPT Judge the Humanities
This week, the internet learned something remarkable about Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE): ChatGPT helped decide which humanities grants lived or died.
Yes, really.
In depositions tied to a lawsuit over sweeping cuts at the National Endowment for the Humanities, two former DOGE employees testified they used ChatGPT to identify projects that supposedly violated Trump’s executive order banning "radical and wasteful DEI programs."
Their backgrounds? Technology and finance.
Their experience in the humanities? None.
