But inside, the document is just mush. It is not fit for purpose because it is just pretending to have done the work.

So it's a great opportunity for people to *signal* that they have done the work without actually needing to do it.

The amount of documents has exploded, but no new insights emerge.

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
β€œIt’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

The AWS outage exposes again that β€œthe cloud” isn’t magic, it’s infrastructure. The issue isn’t a cyberattack, it’s architectural over-reliance on a handful of cloud giants. We centralized the internet and then made our entire lives dependent on it.
