[Dan Hon in MIT Technology Review]

The always-brilliant Dan Hon on DOGE:

"We’re seeing in real time that there are no practical technical measures preventing someone from taking a spanner to the technology that keeps our government stable, that keeps society running every day—despite the very real consequences.

So we should plan for the worst, even if the likelihood of the worst is low."

The suggestions that follow - identifying risks, working together, standing up and saying "no" - are all sensible and needed.
