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.
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
