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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 67 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

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 28 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 51 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 31 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Trump is letting the baby have its bottle. that's all this is. hand him a cookie every now and again so he stops crying. The administration is treating Musk like a toddler.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

That doesn't make sense. The US government doesn't have to treat musk at all.

It's quid pro quo. The only question is what for

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

We don't use O rings because there's no 'O' in "Hitler"

[–] Cuboos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 12 hours ago

I understood that reference.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 44 points 18 hours ago (9 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 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You should be more terrified. And also more glad

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 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 19 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 6 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 25 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 21 points 20 hours ago

What could possibly go wrong?

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 21 points 13 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.

[–] trailee@sh.itjust.works 19 points 20 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?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 18 points 18 hours ago

There's the grift.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 13 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

As we all know, Hitler was a brilliant mind regarding military matters. Mecha Hitler can only improve on that!

/S. Seriously, the bastard wasn't competent at military affairs. Thankfully. Here's hoping that Grok guides Musk and company into the grave.
