Not only do I expect it to produce nonsensical advice that results in combat losses and other negligence, I also expect it to be used as an excuse to deflect blame for war crimes.
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Why did you massacre these unarmed children private?
I was just following orders sir.
Who's orders?
Grok sir.
Well in that case, I think that ones still breathing.
Grok called for that secondary strike on those fishermen.
We are still operating on the basis that carpet bombing works, despite having executed some of the biggest, deadliest, longest, widest, most precise, hottest and expensive bombing campaigns since planes were invented, and, with the exception of dropping nukes on Japan, it has never won a war.
Not saying AI is smart, but also neither is military command.
Interestingly, producing unbelievable amounts of bombs does help ammunition companies.
Now taking bets for when the major leak of military secrets will occur
Leak? Never. Google will secure those assets for itself and use them to build the Torment Nexus.
Oh, that device from the classic "Don't Build the Torment Nexus!" series of science fiction novels? Wow, I can't believe the future is finally here.
Oh boy, it will be doubly difficult now to tell insane policy apart from the hallucinations.
I've been hoping the entire past year was a hallucination, myself.
Battle rhythm?
The only rhythm this guy has is the aRHYTHMia his heart goes through when he hasn't had a drink and the DTs kick in.
He uses that term as if it's something that people in the military say. Maybe it is, but it sure seems like a bullshit term.
But, even if it's a term they use, is "battle rhythm" sounds like something that might happen, I dunno, during a battle? And if you're in the middle of a battle, is that really a time when you should be using AI? "Hey ChatGPT, what -- BOOM -- coordinates should I tell them to use
ratatatatatatat -- for the -- POW -- artillery strike!?"
Is Petey on the sauce again?
“again”?
Yeah pretty sure he never left it.
He used to be. He still is now, but he used to be as well.
How can anyone with a sound mind trust a guy who used a public chat program for top secrete military actions.
We are currently clean on opsec tho, it's fine.
I like how the media keep referring to him as a journalist.
No, he was a monkey trained to read an autocue. On the weekend.
Good news, comrades! The hated capitalist pigs have just cut the legs off of their military!
Battle rhythm?
Who is this insufferable little twat?
This freak has his head so far up rich tech bro's assholes he could lick their tonsils.
Sorry about rolling that grenade under your bunk Mr. Secretary, GenAI told me to do it.
I hope the plague wipes his entire family line. Seriously. Black death? Take this one. We don't need him.
“dEpArTmEnT oF wAr!”
I expect this to be written in sharpie on a cardboard box with the letter “r” backwards.
What a bunch of fucking children.
I can’t imagine the level of reality one must suspend to live with the shame and embarrassment that comes from having voted for this trash.

I miss thinking the general populace might understand sweet fuckall about computers someday.
*sighs, drinks*
Isn't this just proof they don't understand a thing about computers?...
Literally hard piping the entirety (remainder) of military intelligence to the highest bidder. Goddamn America is gonna kill America in the most American way.
"We can't spell the Department of War without AI" - Pete Kegsdeath
Had to use daddy's sharpie to sign
AI is being peddled to govt to stave off the bubble bursting.
This is exactly it, isn't it? Force integration, make it critical and boom "too big to fail" and unlimited bailouts.
Cringe
A lot of people are going to start dying because of AI hallucinations.

Jesus.
It looks like from a low budget science fiction parody movie from the 80s
When is Grok being onboarded. Then the real shit show starts.
Reads like it was written by AI
