Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI
-
Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.
Being 90% corrupt gives you more territories than being 99% corrupt

Oh, ok, you're saying they are more corrupt, not less. Didn't get it.
-
Isn't that their business anyway?
If you vote and pay taxes, it’s your business too.

Oh I can't wait until 7 astronauts explode because fucking Grok told the construction team not to bother with the O-rings.
We don't use O rings because there's no 'O' in "Hitler"
-
Just copy paste it in
No, Elon specifically said to cut and paste.

On the plus side, the first thing it's gonna do is nuke Israel
why would nuking another country be a good thing?

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

You should be more terrified. And also more glad
They want both of these things.

I mean killing people is literally what they do, right? So the comment above is not very surprising

Wow. End of line man.
Game over man, game over!

Where are you going to deploy it? On your laptop?
On a 200mil laptop? You can run llama4 on a 64GB RAM machine, albeit slowly, which is already an upper scale model. TBF, I didn't do the math to see how much that would add up to along with salaries and server costs etc, mainly because this is pentagon we are talking about so it should already have access to some pretty decent computational capacity. So yea 200mil feels like too much when you already have most of the resources needed (compute and open LLM models for specific tasks).
The really huge upside is you don't have to share confidential information with a company whose CEO is a lunatic who will likely have no qualms about sharing that data with other agents when money and power is involved. Hell you shouldn't share any confidential/sensitive information with any of the large tech companies to be honest. They have become what they are not by sticking to ethical principles and they are likely to grossly overcharge (which defeats the purpose of outsourcing and makes it more reasonable to invest in permanent infrastructure rather). They will surely use it as some sort of leverage, %100 guaranteed.

Grok goes full nazi and Pentagon thinks "ooh we should hire it!"

I agree that $200M is way too much to spend on a LLMs but talking about downloading open source models is completely missing the point. They are not paying for some sort of Grok license so that they can access this amazing model. They are paying for the computational capacity needed to run this model and provide access to thousands of people over some period of time. The alternative here is to simply buy everyone a subscription to OpenAI or something.

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

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.

And all the pentagons info is compromised…
To be fair it probably has been for a while

Since this came right after a post from !theonion@sh.itjust.works on my feed i honestly thought it was the onion.

Why would the Pentagon deploy it on a laptop?

I thought about this movie
Elon thinks he's Tony Stark when he's clearly Justin Hammer.
