DOGE & the Implications of Jevon’s Paradox

Since Elon Musk's establishment of DOGE, he has been touting the trillions of dollars in "savings" the agency can produce within the federal government.

The collapse community is well familiarized with Jevon's Paradox in terms of material consumption. I'm curious if the paradox will apply to the political aspect of society as well.

More specifically, I do not believe we will get less beauracracy because of DOGE. We will get more. It won't be from people, but from incorporating AI across all services the federal government used to provide. I think the amount of money and resources spent by private sector companies implementing AI into the government or replacing what services it used to provide will ultimately eclipse any savings DOGE is able to muster and on a very large scale. Ultimately, it will still be your tax dollars being spent (and I'm wagering a lot more of them) but for terrible quality service.

Related to collapse because I believe the proclaimed "efficiency" will significantly impact people's quality of life in the US and if other countries follow suit, eventually the world.

I'm hoping for an in depth conversation on this topic and would like to avoid short responses just trying to get an emotional reaction out of people.

I don't have a link specifically related to this topic, but what got me thinking about it was the latest installment of Climate Chat where host Dan Miller interviews Dr William Rees and they discuss William Stanley Jevons.

If anyone is interested in watching that interview it is available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/live/lOQ7IDqRc8Y?si=QwG5fIgurkVhYixb
