I for one am celebrating the Trump administration's commitment to ending US military hegemony.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

go figure the us military is infested with AI from grok, and palintir.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 232 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 73 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Grok goes full nazi and Pentagon thinks "ooh we should hire it!"

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

Hitler was so fucking inept that many military projects had to be kept hidden from him in order to stop his meddling. Even some weapon systems such as the StG. 44 (world's first operational assault rifle) was once called the MP-44 in order to sell it to Hitler as a submachine gun since his parkinson's riddled mind would not comprehend how revolutionary the new rifle was.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

MechaHitler will be right at home

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 54 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

We don't use O rings because there's no 'O' in "Hitler"

[–] Cuboos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago

I understood that reference.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 60 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

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

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

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

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Trump is letting the baby have its bottle. that's all this is. hand him a cookie every now and again so he stops crying. The administration is treating Musk like a toddler.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

a toddler giving another toddler some milk.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

That doesn't make sense. The US government doesn't have to treat musk at all.

It's quid pro quo. The only question is what for

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 32 points 2 days 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 76 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I've seen this movie.

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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

~~Grok~~ Mechahitler.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought about this movie

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Elon thinks he's Tony Stark when he's clearly Justin Hammer.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

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.

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 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should be more terrified. And also more glad

See?! I knew Elon and his main minion Trump were playfighting.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

he was trying to force more contracts out of him, it was a show. he doesnt want the files released anymore than trump is, hes on it as well.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

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

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 23 points 2 days 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.
