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

[–] Cuboos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

I understood that reference.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 33 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 19 points 4 hours 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”

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 13 points 4 hours 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.

THEY WERE ON A BREAK

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 87 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

And all the pentagons info is compromised…

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 37 minutes ago

Just copy paste it in

Not really, too many lives at stake.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 29 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (3 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.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 55 minutes ago

Where are you going to deploy it? On your laptop?

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

They went and built the torment nexus...

They can't not use it!

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

[–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Is there something special about that date?

[–] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 20 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 185 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 61 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 27 minutes ago* (last edited 27 minutes ago)

- Grok, summarize our civilization's positive achievements in the last century.

- Heil Hitler!

- Test passed.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 42 points 9 hours ago (3 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.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

What incompetence? It's just the usual corruption. It's 90% of what Pentagon does.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago (1 children)

Were it 90% of what Pentagon did, the rest of the world bar China and India would be US territories.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 19 minutes ago (1 children)

Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Being 90% corrupt gives you more territories than being 99% corrupt

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 19 points 8 hours ago

You should be more terrified. And also more glad

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Incompetent Pentagon means they‘ll hopefully cause less destruction in the world but I‘m not sure that they will when working under mecha Hitler word salad.

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 58 points 10 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 21 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 61 points 11 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 3 points 4 hours ago

I thought about this movie

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours 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 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] speculate7383@lemmy.today 5 points 3 hours ago

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

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

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 12 points 8 hours ago

Wow. End of line man.

[–] anachrohack@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 1 points 16 minutes ago

Whitemanistan isn't exactly "great"

Besides the regressive south, these fuckers are more regressive than white Americans in the 1950s.

They at least believed in science and vaccinations back then.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 17 points 9 hours ago

There's the grift.
