Doge Meme Army Declares War on Red Tape—Using AI

You’ve probably seen Dogecoin fans do silly things—like funding a NASCAR race or trying to send a literal Dogecoin to the moon. But their latest stunt? Using AI to wipe out hundreds of federal regulations. Yeah, you read that right.

A group calling themselves the “Doge Goons” (because of course they did) fed thousands of pages of government rules into an AI model and asked it to find regulations that were outdated, redundant, or just plain ridiculous. The result? A list of hundreds they argue should be scrapped.

Why Bother?

The Goons aren’t just trolling (though let’s be honest, there’s probably some of that). Their argument is simple: Bloated regulations slow everything down. They pointed to rules like obscure paperwork requirements for small businesses or conflicting environmental standards that even experts struggle to navigate.

Their AI didn’t rewrite the rules or lobby Congress—it just flagged them. But the bigger question is: Should we trust an algorithm to decide what stays or goes?

The Good, the Bad, and the Meme-y

On one hand, AI can process mountains of text faster than any human. It might catch redundancies we’ve missed for decades. On the other, laws aren’t just code. Nuance matters. A rule that seems “pointless” might exist because of a disaster we’ve forgotten about.

And then there’s the Dogecoin of it all. This started as a joke. But like so many internet antics, it’s stumbling into real-world consequences. Whether you love or hate regulation, it’s hard to ignore the irony of a meme currency’s fanbase playing bureaucracy busters.

What Happens Next?

Probably nothing dramatic. But it’s a weirdly fun example of how AI is creeping into unexpected corners of life. And who knows? Maybe the next time you’re stuck filling out a baffling form, you’ll wish the Doge Goons had gotten to it first.

What do you think—should we let AI clean up red tape, or is this a job for humans?
