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

        - Heil Hitler!

        - Test passed.

    I’ve seen this movie.

    “The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug Skynet Grok in.”

      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. 😂

        You don’t have to be intelligent to ruin things. Look at Trump.

        At least a thinking machine would have a reason for doing what it might do, instead of bumbling along and overshooting any safeguards left. Which given Musk’s attitude, Grok would be the first and last safeguard for everything. So yeah, this is worse than Terminator.

          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.

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

    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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

    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.
