Grok goes full nazi and Pentagon thinks "ooh we should hire it!"
Certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

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.
With open source you have the advantage of being able to use different LLMs for different tasks which can be more efficient. Surely Pentagon has access to enough compute power to set this up for a thousand people? The rest is UI, IT and fine tuning by a couple data scientists/programmers trained in LLMs. Surely it is better than Elon who changes his mind on politics every five days and thinks that twenty year olds can run critical government infrastructure because they worship him. Not an expert, just don't like big tech companies, particularly Melon.

People will no longer laugh at the term "military intelligence" for the obvious irony. Now, they'll say "remember when the military tried to use artificial intelligence? ha ha what a disaster"

Yes, that's what needed. It's not just about downloading an open source LLM. That was my point. I see we agree now.

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.
Fun fact: Hitler's actual plan when he invaded Poland was to reproduce the trench war stalemate of WWI on the Western front. He knew that in that war, about 2.5 million German soldiers had been able to stymie more than 4 million French and British troops while the remainder of the German army pillaged Russian territories. This is why during the Winter of '39/'40 he devoted almost half of German productive capacity to making artillery shells that mostly ended up not being used until the later invasion of the USSR. His biggest success of the war was the blitzkrieg of France, and it was absolute blind luck (mixed with French ineptitude and lack of preparation) that it ended up going the way it did.

Well that's fucking fantastic

Elon thinks he's Tony Stark when he's clearly Justin Hammer.
Ha, he wishes he could be at least as cool as Justin Hammer.
Instead of this:
We got that
and that
and the most embarrassing one

Alright let's go then!

It becomes operational August 4 and self-aware on the 29th.
Ah you’re right

Wait til you learn about MCP and how much better it has gotten in the last 3 months
Honestly thought this was a snarky Tron reference at first. Then I realized this is Lemmy and not reddit and so looked it up. Very interesting, but not sure how that helps it do math better.

In theory at least, if you have a math problem, and a protocol for how to ask a real calculator to compute it, the model can ask a real calculator to compute the value of an expression.
I don’t know if anyone has done it, but it is feasible. Could also be extended to more robust solving tools. Think matlab and the like.

Game over man, game over!
A Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.

One can rather say that the French too prepared for Germans trying to
reproduce the trench war stalemate of WWI on the Western front
, except when it became visible that they are not putting all their effort into that, it also became imperative for Germans to act offensively. They couldn't afford a long standoff without France actually bleeding.
And here it became apparent that French politicians were not prepared for France actually bleeding at all.
