Look i get wanting to modernize. Some government agencies desperately need too.
And maybe this is my old person yells at technology moment but ai is a menace. It makes work more complicated and makes too many mistakes to be reliable. Supposedly the reason so many ppl have been getting letters for deportation that are citizens is because of ai.
I'm also an old person who yells, and I agree.
Mostly, though, if we're going to 'modernize' the system (with or without AI), it needs to be done smartly and methodically, and by people who aren't philosophically opposed to Social Security's existence.
Yeah when I say modernized i mean computers that aren't from the 90s lol
I don't know about the hardware, but I think the software is substantially older than that — dates back to the 1960s. I might be wrong, though, and I'm too stoned right now to Google it.
