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

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 51 minutes ago

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 42 minutes ago

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

“Bro, let’s pretend like you hate me so people buy my cars again”

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 4 points 1 hour 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.

I thought they broke up

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I wonder if they’ll make it operational on August 29th

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 59 minutes ago

Is there something special about that date?

[–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 1 points 28 minutes ago

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

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 hours ago

On the plus side, the first thing it's gonna do is nuke Israel

oh no are you telling me that the breakup between fascist A and fascist B was just play theater?! who could have ever seen that coming omg.... what a surprise this world is

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (2 children)

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 1 points 8 minutes ago

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

Dept of Grift Engineering

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 17 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 71 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And all the pentagons info is compromised…

Not really, too many lives at stake.

[–] lack@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

What the fuck guys, who wished for 'real life tony stark, lol' on the cursed monkey paw!?!? GUYS?!?!

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 36 points 5 hours ago (1 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 15 points 4 hours ago

You should be more terrified. And also more glad

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 160 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 54 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 49 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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 14 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Ellen really wants to be a super villian.

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 11 points 4 hours ago

Wow. End of line man.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 16 points 5 hours ago

There's the grift.

[–] anachrohack@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Our government is a kleptocracy. We've Afghanistan'd ourselves. Got what we deserve i suppose

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 51 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

I've seen this movie.

"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug ~~Skynet~~ Grok in."

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago

I thought about this movie

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 1 points 57 minutes ago (1 children)

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. 😂

[–] ArchAengelus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 54 minutes ago

Wait til you learn about MCP and how much better it has gotten in the last 3 months

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago

~~Grok~~ Mechahitler.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They’re going to get someone killed

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't think so. I think they'll either use it for very benign tasks or they'll get a LOT of people killed.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 32 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

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.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago

What could possibly go wrong?

[–] trailee@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 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?

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago

I do not welcome our robot overlords.
