Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI

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.

I wonder if they’ll make it operational on August 29th
Is there something special about that date?

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.

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

And here I thought Trump and musk were no longer buddies.
This is probably Trump trying to get Musk to shut up about Epstein.

Not really, too many lives at stake.

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

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

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.

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

I understood that reference.

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

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.

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.
Why would you be glad?

They’re going to get someone killed
Isn't that their business anyway?
