The chatbot has been cleared for use in systems handling secret intelligence analysis, weapons development and battlefield operations

He should outsource the AI... Maybe Cyberdyne would be a good name. And the AI should be named Skynet.... Just saying.

The worst part is, using Grok is going to put real, human Nazis out of work.

@bascule Since Grok and Musk are unbothered by ethics of any kind, the Pentagon won't have worry about Anthropic/Claude squeamishness about letting the AI run as hogwild as it wants.

As I recall there was a spot of fuss not long ago that whichever-AI-it-was started using nukes no matter what it was told.

So this should get, um, ^interesting^.
