Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Monday that Elon Musk's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok will be integrated into Pentagon networks, including classified systems, as part of a broader initiative to incorporate AI technology across the military.

Speaking at SpaceX headquarters in South Texas, Hegseth said Grok will go live inside the Defense Department this month and will join Google's generative AI engine in operating within the Pentagon's infrastructure.

The End is (Very) Nigh.

Due to the grand scope of this plan, I think that Grok should be renamed to: Colossus.

What concerns me is that in many conversations with AI, I've seen that it makes all kinds of atrocious mistakes. I'm not as concerned with it being diabolical, as it being a bungler.

Musk is a Trump supporter while much of the rest of Silicon Valley are just doing what they need to survive him. It seems that military decisions as to which platform is reliable and which not are being made on the basis of personal loyalty to Emperor Trump.

Personally I found Grok to be infected with Musk's atheism when I asked it questions about Bible dating for example.

The biggest question with this AI as with all of them in fact is to do with the tendency to hallucinate based on statistical models that do not map to reality. I would be interested in what legal constraints and what correspondence to truth tests will be in place for this system.

Also how will command and control hierarchies integrate with the workflows of decision making. AIs can identify targets but it will still need some kind of empirical test and a human decision to fire.

Didn't think skynet would also be able to generate child pornography, but here we are.

"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate." - Grok after being made to generate bikini pictures of a six year old (makes it seem downright reasonable, doesn't it?)
