Oh, For the Love of… Doge is at it Again.

Right, so apparently the meme coin crowd – yes, those people – have cobbled together an AI tool called “ReguSlash” to “optimize” federal regulations. Optimize meaning, as far as I can tell, *gut them like a fish*. They’re feeding it decades of rules and letting it spit out suggestions for… simplification. Which translates to ‘removing anything that might actually protect people or hold corporations accountable’.

The whole thing is funded by Dogecoin Foundation (surprise, surprise) and they’ve already started lobbying with this garbage. They claim it’ll “unlock innovation” – which is corporate-speak for “let us do whatever the hell we want without pesky oversight”. They even got some VCs to throw money at it because apparently, throwing good money after bad is a popular pastime in Silicon Valley.

The article glosses over the obvious: an AI trained on existing regulations will likely perpetuate existing biases and loopholes. It’s not exactly a shock that something built by crypto bros isn’t going to be some beacon of ethical governance. Expect more deregulation, expect more scams, expect more headaches for anyone trying to actually *regulate* anything. Honestly, it’s just… infuriating.

And the worst part? It might actually work. Because people are idiots.

Speaking of regulatory nightmares, I once had to debug a system where someone decided to “optimize” the error handling by just… deleting all the error logs. Said it was “clutter”. Clutter! The entire production environment nearly melted down because nobody knew *why* things were failing. This ReguSlash thing feels like that, but on a national scale. Just… fantastic.
