There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database.
That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

Once you start merging that much personal data into one system, you’ve essentially created a digital ID for every American. And history has made one thing clear: that kind of power will be abused.

44/ Kriel knew he needed to understand more. He reached out to Chris Vickery, who had exposed the voter records database. Vickery explained that churches didn’t just have data on members – they were merging it with voter data, social profiles, and more.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for secretly merging millions of Americans' personal data to create a national database.
Some states are already using this “Big Brother” database to purge voter rolls and open criminal investigations.
It’s illegal. We’re in court to stop it.

Elon Musk is merging xAI with X in a $33B stock deal—folding AI, social media, and user data into one empire. This isn’t innovation. It’s consolidation of power. One man now controls the feed, the algorithm, and the tools to manipulate them both.

Since the final data merging/postproc will be open source, at least in its algorithmic version, this also opens up that area of the system for community development and research. I fully expect people will end up messing around making their own ML models for this too.

This is a *deep* nerd cut.
Simpson's paradox (unrelated to the show) is about subgroup analysis, where a trend in subsets of the data is eliminated or reversed by merging all the data together.
I've always considered it the counter to more data points = better causality.
