I vaguely remember a movie where the government makes an ai intended to defend the usa, and it starts killing off politicians because it saw them as the greatest threat to national security

That's the one!
The AIs we want vs the AIs we got. :(
Well.... Was it wrong?
The precipitating event was a military strike that the AI said to not do, which ended up killing exclusively civilians, so I think it may have had the right idea 😅

See, the quickest way to get AI banned is for it to start telling the truth about those in power.
They'll just switch to Grok, which will encourage them to commit even more war crimes. Currently it's based on Google's Gemini
The most infuriating part is they're so bad at this, yet they're still getting away with it. I mean they're just So. Dumb. and yet...
They are mean. Look at MTG, Democrats have been mad at her for YEARS. When Republicans were mad at her for two DAYS she HAD to get security protection. What does that tell you?
Violence gets results

That we're not doing our job properly...
I enjoy that we haven't even figured out a way to accurately quantify or screen for actual human intelligence, but these clowns think they can synthesis it by making a computer read enough reddit posts.

There's a reason why the rest of the world sneers at them.
Well sure, it's way easier to feel superior to someone else than it is to deal with the fascist groups slowly taking over their own governments.
But in my experience people don't really sneer at the US except in meaningless online dickwaving contests - right now most people are either embarrassed on our behalf or terrified of what shit we'll pull next. Usually, both.
It's definitely both

Fucking clown show
The Defense Department's new ChatJAG turned out to be better than the human chain of command.
So, what the fuck are we waiting for?! You know what to do!

Can media outlets please, please, please start to use the Benny Hill theme whenever they report on something this administration does?

A LLM advisor that takes REAL CASES AND LAWS NOT ONES IT MADE UP!!!! and sorted through them to advise on legal direction THAT CAN THEN BE VERIFIED BY LEGAL PROFESSIONALS WITH HUMAN EYES!!! might not be too bad of an idea. But we're really just remaking search engines but worse.
You may already know that, but just to make it clear for other readers: It is impossible for an LLM to behave like described. What an LLM algorithm does is generate stuff, It does not search, It does not sort, It only make stuff up. There is not that can be done about it, because LLM is a specific type of algorithm, and that is what the program do. Sure you can train it with good quality data and only real cases and such, but it will still make stuff up based on mixing all the training data together. The same mechanism that make it "find" relationships between the data it is trained on is the one that will generate nonsense.

Worth reading just for the amount of vitriolic humor it has.
The fact that the move injects government funds into a financial bubble holding the entire stock market afloat while hemorrhaging cash with scant revenue to show for it is just a happy coincidence.
Damn. You weren't wrong!

Nice
The Pentagon AI immediately notified the DOJ AI and Hegseth's avatar was imprisoned for war crimes.
Ah, but the user made a mistake by asking whether it violated department of DEFENSE regulations. Pete is the head of the department of WAR. All those silly rules don't apply anymore.
