Pete Hegseth Says the Pentagon's New Chatbot Will Make America 'More Lethal' (www.404media.co)

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the rollout of GenAI.mil today in a video posted to X. To hear Hegseth tell it, the website is “the future of American warfare.” In practice, based on what we know so far from press releases and Hegseth’s posturing, GenAI.mil appears to be a custom chatbot interface for Google Gemini that can handle some forms of sensitive—but not classified—data.

Hegseth’s announcement was full of bold pronouncements about the future of killing people. These kinds of pronouncements are typical of the second Trump administration which has said it believes the rush to “win” AI is an existential threat on par with the invention of nuclear weapons during World War II.

FFS why does the next generation Nazi's have to be such losers? I'm not trying to say anything positive about WWII Nazis but at least...

I don't know but these losers here have here now somehow make Nazi's seem competent and semi respectful.

At least the Nazi's exploded onto the world because they had something going for them? They had good generals and in the beginning made strategically good decisions?

How is the world losing to these worms?

Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, at least it's an ethos !

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Well, yeah. At least they had an ideology, at fucked up as it was, that is what drove them and from their perspective, they could at least say they wanted something better (they didn't, not the point). Also, Nazi's at least made it look impressive.

These roaches today don't even have none of that.
