Pete Hegseth is urging members of the military to embrace GenAI.mil, a "secure generative AI platform for every member of the Department of War." I'm sure this will be fine.

"I expect every member of the Department to log in, learn it, and incorporate it into your workflows immediately. AI should be in your battle rhythm every single day. It should be your teammate. By mastering this tool, we will outpace our adversaries. The power is now in your hands."

I wonder who came up with their logo, which looks like a worm invading the Pentagon.

BrianKrebs Dec 11

I'd bet dollars to donuts that they just asked AI to create the logo.

@briankrebs this looks exactly what several of the early vector loras für Stable Diffusion did.

@briankrebs dollars to donuts a soldier has already used it to generate porn

@briankrebs If they did, it will be the only clever thing a LLM has ever done. A worm invading the Pentagon is exactly what it is.

@briankrebs is the outer part meant to represent an artificial brain?

…

So, there’s a worm in the brain of DoW…

…as well as in the brain of the head of HHS…

…that tracks.

Passwordsarehard4 Dec 11

@pedro_mateus @jackemled @briankrebs yeah, let’s give the military AI an existential reality crisis. Nothing bad can happen there.

Luna Lactea Dec 11

@passwordsarehard4 @pedro_mateus @briankrebs Don't worry, it can't think or reason.

BrianKrebs Dec 11

@jackemled @passwordsarehard4 @pedro_mateus Is that supposed to make us feel better?

Luna Lactea Dec 11

@briankrebs @passwordsarehard4 @pedro_mateus No, like don't worry about "poor old" chatgpt. Worry about the bad that happens when people believe what it says during that. I was being sarcastic & I meant that as an agreement with passwordsarehard4.

@briankrebs they asked the AI to come up with the logo.

BrianKrebs Dec 11

@ezrasf haha. you're probably right.

Patrick Schmitz Dec 11

@briankrebs due to the lack of real intelligence in the department, they are now introducing the artificial kind. The amount of BS produced will most likely remain the same.

@schmitzel76 @briankrebs

The quality of the BS might remain the same, but the quantity will skyrocket. Nothing can pump out re-hashed bullshit faster than an AI.

fuzzyfuzzyfungus Dec 11

@briankrebs In line with the unofficial 'AI' company style guide; I think it's a diagram of the pentagon's intestine.

Being a side view rather than a front view is a stylistic innovation.

@Fringedcrow @briankrebs The picture in question comes from a SANS article and then before that from an /r/airforce post. I do notice some things that make me question if the screenshot is real.

There is some scribbles in the upper left that could be from text that was not fully removed, and the bottom right corner is rounded, despite the text in the message being cut off. This could indicate that the text of the response was replaced with different longer text, and they forgot to fix the edge.

BrianKrebs Dec 11

@Fringedcrow i'm still laughing/crying at "GI Gemini"

Mark Stosberg Dec 11

@rk @briankrebs You know, your daily battle rhythm.

@rk @briankrebs
It means that some of the Administration's friends are going to get even wealthier on the DoD's dime. I mean, the "Department of War's" dime.

@rk @briankrebs It means he wants all internal work at his department piped through a third party LLM to peel off the interesting queries while giving bad analysis.

Rob McKenna Dec 11

@briankrebs “I wonder who came up with their logo, which looks like a worm invading the Pentagon.” AI obvs, but the interesting thing is that trained on all the other AI logos that look like sphincters, produces yet another AI logo picture of an arsehole.

It’s arseholes all the way down!

@prolixian @briankrebs they should have called it WOPR, but they would, most likely, not get the wargames reference.

@Em0nM4stodon @briankrebs Breaking news: boat in Carribean destroyed by barrage of US em dashes

@briankrebs Sigh. Of course he's the type to say "Incorporate it into your workflows immediately" rather than "evaluate with your teams and determine whether your workflows can be improved using this service".

Graeme 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Dec 11

@briankrebs "Dept of War" "daily battle rhythm", "give me a nobel peace prize"... Something not right here..
And yes, that's a snake in the pentagon, not a worm. A sort of orange snake....

AI is an accountability sink.

Something used for blameshifting, to excuse the awful.

Ai is a cyber fall guy?
No wonder so many in the C-suite and at upper government levels are embracing the hype so enthusiastically.
Like Trump, who stupid people think is smart, Ai is a form of computing that stupid people think smart.

dragonfrog Dec 11

@Guillotine_Jones @Npars01 @briankrebs
More like the user is the fall guy.

Management assigns a workload that can only be accomplished by handing off to AI and rubber stamping whatever it does.

But the workload is assigned *to the human*, who is theoretically "checking" the AI's output - so any crimes committed by the AI, any civil liabilities it incurs, fall on the human accountability sink.

Guillotine Jones, Flâneur Dec 12

@dragonfrog @Npars01 @briankrebs
Sounds super-thruthy, dragonfrog.
We're all fall-guys now, living at the pleasure of the buyers of the bullshit.
