Rumors of the demise of DOGE have been greatly exaggerated. One particularly cool project: DOGE using AI to do what no agency ever could - find 100,000 federal rules to cut, in weeks! For decades, layers of rules have agglomerated - some inserted by special interests, others by activist bureaucrats, and perhaps even more from the weight of sheer bureaucratic kludge and misguided busybodies over time. The current system chokes innovation & growth, slowing everyone while favoring entrenched corporations with armies of compliance lawyers. It’s much too easy to add red tape versus to cut it, and incompetence and inertia mean minimal garbage removal. Under the current system, it would take 3.6 million man-hours to review and kill these 100,000 regs. But AI help makes it possible in a matter of days. At HUD alone, it helped complete over 1,000 regulatory decisions in under two weeks. Many regulations don’t protect the public – they protect fiefdoms, contracts, and legacy make-work jobs. Our projects at @InstituteCicero and reg-tech leader have done this sort of AI-driven reg-tech work at the state level; it's cool to see technologists taking this on in DC. Great to see DOGE continue to move fast, and bring top private industry talent & tech to the government.
