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

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

        - Heil Hitler!

        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.

    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.

        Were it 90% of what Pentagon did, the rest of the world bar China and India would be US territories.

          Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.
