I feel like I disagree with this approach to government efficiency:

The examples listed are a tiny fraction of all spending. If a government _optimizes_ for "don't make oopses that look bad on twitter", then it will end up missing a lot of valuable opportunities, and at the same time lots of actually-wasteful large-scale things will remain just because they look respectable.

You _want_ a VC-like approach on small-scale public funding, that is okay with large quantities of oopses, because its goal is to make sure it captures the 1000x opportunities. Concentrate prudence energy on the large-scale stuff.

vitalik看起来对马哥的DOGE部门监督标准方式有不同看法，他不太同意这种政府效率方式：DOGE上面列出的例子只是所有支出的一小部分。如果一个政府“优化”为“不要在推特上做看起来不好的事情”，那么它最终会错过很多宝贵的机会，同时，许多实际上比较大规模的消耗会因为看起来值得尊敬而保留下来。
