    the Department of War used Grok to “deploy over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury.”

    Let that euphemism sink in for a second.

      I wonder if Grok is also the justification they’ll start using for claiming that random fishing boats in the Pacific are actually drug runners

        It surely is an easy justification. It was not in their hands, how could grok fail them, it was a slight miscalculation that was already fixed, blahblahblah

    What’s even the point of exempting something like a military base, like the article says.

    Or exempting Grok from pollution regulations.

    Like that’s just backwards. Let’s increase national security, by exposing residents to harmful toxins.

    At that point you’re just doing the work of foreign adversaries, by killing citizens yourself.

      That’s a common reason the big ones in history fall. In the end it’s by the rich, for the rich, and f the citizens. A population strongly divided doesn’t unite in time against an external enemy and the enemy wins. So far they’re just following history’s playbook.

          People also overestimate AI. Mostly those who do not understand it or are generally technically challenged. No offence meant. As there currently is no “I” in the “AI”. It sure has many great applications, but also a shitton that will be vastly destructive to many things we like and love.
