Also visas expire, so why not simply implement better checks for new visas. Most of the 55M visas are probably fine, so you have to spend an exorbitant amount of resource on finding very few issues. It's much cheaper to add additional check to new visa applications.

55M is also just a crazy amount of visas for a country with 350M citizens. Especially given that I'd guess that a large amount of people travel to the US on a visa waive program.

Have you heard of Palantir? They have all the data they need after all the DOGE thefts.

Why can't they retain stories like Dredd, The Minority Report and Continuum as fiction? They were supposed to be warnings, not user manuals. Something being possible doesn't always mean that it's a good idea.

PS: This rather useless comment is actually an expression of frustration. We are a population of more than 8 billion. Why are such concepts even tolerated?

get a DOGE staffer to run it through AI like they've been doing for all the other things they are wrecking

Yes, literally the first thing I thought of was "oh, another government LLM use case." Exactly the same crap doge was doing.

Whatever contractor is working on this is probably salivating at the opportunity to refine capabilities. I still think at some point this is going to be used to field questions like "ok, show me the top 10 citizens in this area who regularly engage in X online behavior."

"For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law."
