Donald Trump’s administration turned to Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to launch thousands of missiles in Iran, according to a top defense official.
In a sworn statement defending the trillionaire from a lawsuit alleging xAI data centers are illegally polluting Black communities, the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence chief said the chatbot’s continued operation is “a matter of paramount national security” — and was used to fire more than “2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours.”
Grok, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, is among four AI models “currently capable of supporting national security applications,” according to Cameron Stanley, the Pentagon’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer.

Needed more “training data”.
It would be really awkward if you made a bunch of comments saying you wanted the CSAM generator to be incorporated into the American public sector, and that it would benefit people.
Nope, wrong:
“USA Missle Command Turns Their Brains Off When Selecting Targets, Leaves National Security Decisions to Elon’s Porn Chatbot”
The AI didn’t “do” anything; a human used it to be functionally negligent in their duties. That’s how this should be reported on.
lol, what was the prompt?
“yo grok, can you click this button that launch the operation so we can justify the bribe to elon”
AI cannot make management decisions. The idea that anyone should hand over responsibility for missile deployment to a machine completely undermines the integrity of any military decision. Also, Grok is a CP creation tool, an evil automaton that should be turned off.
All the misinformation that grok was trained with for political reasons will surely help with good management decisions.
“xAI is allowed to hurt black people because it is helping hurt iranians” is a wild take if you don’t want your caste physically rendered by a slavering mob
Are they really admitting they used Grok for the war they lost?
So grok killed all them kids?
In all the comparative tests, that’s consistently the most psychopathic one…
We will use AI to make bad decisions more quickly, but not only that, we will use the worst AI to make the worst decisions possible.
We would have used a Chinese AI because it’s cheaper, but we weren’t allowed to. So Grok it is, which is fine, because Musk is the only ally to the current administration that is as reliable as Trump.Wasn’t Grok absurdly expensive because it rambled a shit ton when talking to itself?
So much for DOGE
No wonder they lost to Iran
Did they all miss?
The targets for Operation Epic Fury were identified with the aid of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Maven Smart System, which uses AI to lay out data on a dashboard to support officials in their decision-making.
Those AI products do not explicitly create targets but work within Maven to identify potential points of interest for military intelligence.
