Original title: The US Military Is Taking Generative AI Out for a Spin

Summary: The US military is testing five LLMs as part of an eight-week exercise run by the Pentagon’s digital and AI office. "It was highly successful. It was very fast," a US Air Force colonel is quoted as saying. "We did it with secret-level data," he adds, saying that it could be deployed by the military in the very near term.

So, there's a high probability that people will die because an AI lied for the US military. Plausible deniability has a new toy.

Terrifying, but inevitable…

What a strange game, the only winning move is not to play.

Honestly, I was freaked out when I read that "secret-level data" in the article, but it's probably a choice between (a) giving an officially approved LLM for people to use, that's set up in a way where it's safe to feed secret-level data into it, or (b) having people fire up ChatGPT and put the secret-level data into it. There have already been issues of employees pasting proprietary code into ChatGPT and doubtless that'll happen with military data try or not to prevent it.

Inevitable, but still scary AF.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.

  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.
