- Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) utilized Meta’s Llama 2 AI model to analyze civil servants’ responses to a resignation email, contrary to rumors of using his Grok AI model.
- The "Fork in the Road" letter encouraged civil servants to resign simply by replying "resign," a strategy Musk had previously employed with Twitter.
- DOGE processes data locally through a Llama 2 startup, ensuring no transmission of data to the internet, and is under the HR service umbrella of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
- Concerns arose regarding data security as civil servants were required to submit weekly reports, with many believing Llama 2 was used for processing.
- DOGE is linked to various AI tools for government applications, including AutoRIF for staff reduction and GSAi chatbot, alongside developments integrating Grok into government services by Microsoft and Palantir.
