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.

I'll let you hear my new appointment speech. Old man tried to control the world with money. It seems to have been working. The population thought that Shinra would protect them. Work at Shinra, get your pay. If a terrorist attacks, the Shinra army will help you. It looks perfect on the outside. But, I do things differently. I'll control the world with fear. It takes too much to do it like my old man. A little fear will control the minds of the common people. There's no reason to waste money on them.

Dehydration is a threat!

"More lethal", as in American soldiers reenacting the Charge of the Light Brigade.

...though, to be honest, I am alright with willful soldiers of the Trump Regime doing that. Preferably, into the killzones of Blue State militias.

What an odd way too distract the period from his cold blooded killings. Any competent advisor would tell him to shut up and lay low

Hegseth wants all these discussions to run through a company's servers. In this administration's tree of stupid shit, this is just another leaf.

Just like Israel's Gospel, Lavander and Where's Daddy AI models designed to maximise innocent casualties and make sure no one is to blame.

Dickhead still making McNamara look sane in comparison.

I'm sorry...what?

Out loud? In public?

Has he mentioned anything about a GPU Jesus? Just curious.

Seems like someone read Art of War for his bed time lately:

appear strong when you are weak.

killing innocent people when the ai hallucinates.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

"but not classified" i dont think that will stop them

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe AI kills less innocent people than this douche who drinks more than even me, which is an accomplishment.
