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?

You’re saying Nazis are losers like it’s a bad thing.

Not at all

Just saying that this current group of roaches have nothing going for them. Nazi's at least made it look impressive, they had their ideology as fucked up as it was.

These fucking losers don't even have that, and it just makes me wonder how the fuck were losing to a bunch of dweebs like that.
