Sure. Why not put mechahitler in charge? May as fucking well.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 60 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

No, no - It's because it's mechahitler that this contract is now in place.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

- Grok, summarize our civilization's positive achievements in the last century.

- Heil Hitler!

- Test passed.

I've seen this movie.

"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug ~~Skynet~~ Grok in."

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago

~~Grok~~ Mechahitler.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's hilarious that you think that a multimillion dollar over engineered autocorrect is gonna somehow become sentient and destroy the world. It can't even do math correctly. 😂

[–] ArchAengelus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wait til you learn about MCP and how much better it has gotten in the last 3 months

[–] speculate7383@lemmy.today 6 points 6 hours ago

For a certain very specific usage of the word "better"

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

I thought about this movie

collapsed inline media

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 54 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 21 points 11 hours ago

That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 40 points 12 hours ago (8 children)

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.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You should be more terrified. And also more glad

And here I thought Trump and musk were no longer buddies.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 25 points 7 hours ago

“Bro, let’s pretend like you hate me so people buy my cars again”

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago

This is probably Trump trying to get Musk to shut up about Epstein.

Oh I can't wait until 7 astronauts explode because fucking Grok told the construction team not to bother with the O-rings.

[–] Cuboos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 hours ago

The UN should consider nuking this.. this … whatever it is that is left of the USA to Kingdom Come.

[–] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 4 points 6 hours ago

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, rest of the world is not doing that much better.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 29 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They want to use mecha hitler without having to build mecha hitler

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

They went and built the torment nexus...

They can't not use it!

Dept of Grift Engineering

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 3 hours ago

Where are you going to deploy it? On your laptop?

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

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 21 points 10 hours ago

Why even work anymore? To pay taxes for this shit?

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago

What could possibly go wrong?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 17 points 12 hours ago

There's the grift.

[–] trailee@sh.itjust.works 17 points 13 hours ago

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?

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 15 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

Ok, Elon will lay off the Epstein jokes for a little while.

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 12 points 11 hours ago

Wow. End of line man.

[–] anachrohack@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Our government is a kleptocracy. We've Afghanistan'd ourselves. Got what we deserve i suppose

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 hours ago

Whitemanistan isn't exactly "great"

Besides the regressive south, these fuckers are more regressive than white Americans in the 1950s.

They at least believed in science and vaccinations back then.

Isn't that their business anyway?

I wonder if they’ll make it operational on August 29th

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Is there something special about that date?

[–] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

It becomes operational August 4 and self-aware on the 29th.
