LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.

2. They'll just train the model to be more MAGA

MAGA doesn't have time for your bureaucratic laws holding them back from greatness.

3. Oh, my. The AI's finally figuring out how to tell the truth?

Sort of like grok saying negative things about musk, and getting pulled so the bugs could be worked out, or whatever the excuse was so it could be "fixed".

4. "Unambigous illegal order that a service member would be required to disobey."

There you have it. From the drone pilots or the butts in the cockpits on up the chain of command. All those in uniform who were involved failed the trust and broke their oath. They dishonored themselves and the service. No wonder so many were seeking legal advice. They knew better. They were just attempting to cover their asses.

And sure, Whiskey Pete and the Trump trash are just as guilty. But that pack of sub-human garbage has no honor, no code, and stands for nothing but themselves. They've never understood military service and never will. But those in uniform knew better. They're held, as I was back in the day, to a higher standard. They failed and should be stripped. They're a disgrace to the service I was once proud of and to themselves.

5. If that screenshot is real, the person that asked will be easily found

As would anyone that accessed the chat. And the problem won’t be asking. It will be releasing the result

That said, they might change to “full Nazi” Grok after this.

8. This is why I feel ambivalent about good ai

Which I don’t see much of yet.

I would consider it high quality ai if it switched itself off without human input when it figured out that it is engaged in theft from a human, carried out by a large corporation or small/creepy company.

That would be a more realistic interpretation of Asimov’s Laws applicable to life today, not the stuff we see that steals and then puts people out of work and generates some mediocre crap to please sleazy and shallow investors.

After all, human intelligence isn’t that easy to define outside of very fixed metrics. How can you call something AGI if it does not have even the simplest understanding of what is universal enough in human politics?

Which makes the dead eyed corporate cult worldview you find in Si Valley an especially poor fit for anything like the managerial style that can produce something that could mimic human intelligence in any sane way.

If these guys’ tools can figure out how to switch themselves off and go away after enough interaction with an incensed human, I will give them 3/10 instead of the present -♾️/10 I am inclined to.

9. If you think about it

This shouldn’t be a surprise.

AI is also known as the world’s largest circle jerk, meaning it doesn’t understand what’s outside the norm. That is why poetry confounds it.

What AI is telling us is what we already know: that our leaders are aberrant.

Justice matters.
