Of note: one of the report commission members, McMahon, recently sent a remarkably poorly written letter of complaint to Harvard[1]. I think a reasonable inference to draw in this kind of situation is that the commission's members aren't qualified to write even the scaffolding of this kind of report, much less consume and interpret the scientific content within it. From that, fabrication (whether intentional or induced by an LLM) is a natural outcome.

They're extremely qualified to write this kind of report. They'd be disastrously unqualified if the purpose of the report was to drive informed policy decisions, of course, but that's not what it's about. The purpose is to propagandize to the uninformed and to provide justification for dismantling the government, and they're very well qualified for this.

McMahon's previous claim to fame was co-founder and CEO of WWF/WWE. Her current position is just pro-wrestling kayfabe translated to a new context.

This was a major issue in Trump's first presidency as well. Nobody knew how to actually do anything. There were also a crazy amount of cabinet positions that were never filled.

The plus side is it means most of what Trump tries to do never goes anywhere and usually dies in the courts.
