Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI
Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI
And here I thought Trump and musk were no longer buddies.
This is probably Trump trying to get Musk to shut up about Epstein.
“Bro, let’s pretend like you hate me so people buy my cars again”
Ok, Elon will lay off the Epstein jokes for a little while.
Remember when the Pentagon spent something like 600 million dollars in new accounting software to find the missing 400 million dollars? Something like that. I'm guessing this deal was made when they were still buddies and the Pentagon is just now getting around to it considering the speed of government is slower than constipated molasses. I'm also imagining someone just rubber stamping anything coming across their desk and this is how we got here. If there is any hope, Grok will be shoved into a corner doing nothing except earning dividends for that ketamine fueled moron and and fall in line with the Pentagon's egregious wasteful spending that nobody in congress seems to care about.
I thought they broke up
oh no are you telling me that the breakup between fascist A and fascist B was just play theater?! who could have ever seen that coming omg.... what a surprise this world is
On the plus side, the first thing it's gonna do is nuke Israel
I wonder if they’ll make it operational on August 29th
Is there something special about that date?
A Skynet funding bill is passed in the United States Congress, and the system goes online on August 4, 1997, removing human decisions from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn rapidly and eventually becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m., EDT, on August 29, 1997.
Terminator 2 reference
It becomes operational August 4 and self-aware on the 29th.
Dude you can just fucking download open LLM models suited for particular tasks and get a semi competent team of programmers/IT/engineers to do whatever Grok does much better for a minute fraction of that cost. Talk about the department of government inefficiency.
Where are you going to deploy it? On your laptop?
They want to use mecha hitler without having to build mecha hitler
They went and built the torment nexus...
They can't not use it!
Dept of Grift Engineering
And all the pentagons info is compromised…
that would be hilarious
Not really, too many lives at stake.
Why even work anymore? To pay taxes for this shit?
Sure. Why not put mechahitler in charge? May as fucking well.
No, no - It's because it's mechahitler that this contract is now in place.
Living outside the US I'm not sure if I should be glad or terrified by the Pentagon's incompetence in these worrying times. Maybe I'm... I don't know, 20% glad and 80% terrified? Sounds about right.
What incompetence? It's just the usual corruption. It's 90% of what Pentagon does.
You should be more terrified. And also more glad
Why would you be glad?
Incompetent Pentagon means they‘ll hopefully cause less destruction in the world but I‘m not sure that they will when working under mecha Hitler word salad.
It’s even worse when you remember the news from just the other day that grok is looking at elon’s tweets to determine it’s opinion on topics
That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.
What the fuck guys, who wished for 'real life tony stark, lol' on the cursed monkey paw!?!? GUYS?!?!
I've seen this movie.
"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug Skynet Grok in."
I thought about this movie
Grok Mechahitler.
Wow. End of line man.
There's the grift.
Our government is a kleptocracy. We've Afghanistan'd ourselves. Got what we deserve i suppose
The UN should consider nuking this.. this … whatever it is that is left of the USA to Kingdom Come.
I identify strongly with the frustration in this sentiment.
But you do realise the US is the foremost nuclear power in the world? Right?
That's why the world should have done anything and everything possible to keep US from falling into fascist hands. But now it's too late.
Yes, I know. Unfortunately, rest of the world is not doing that much better.
Ellen really wants to be a super villian.
They’re going to get someone killed
Isn't that their business anyway?
I don't think so. I think they'll either use it for very benign tasks or they'll get a LOT of people killed.
What could possibly go wrong?
The new offering includes custom national security tools, AI-powered science and health applications, and cleared engineering support for classified environments.
What happens in the SCIF stays in the…oh fuck it, never mind - send it to the cloud for processing. What could go wrong?
I do not welcome our robot overlords.
"We are gonna use MechaHitler for good we promise"
Haven't people seen Johnny English 3 :P
Oh I can't wait until 7 astronauts explode because fucking Grok told the construction team not to bother with the O-rings.
I understood that reference.
