In a sworn statement defending the trillionaire from a lawsuit alleging xAI data centers are illegally polluting Black communities, the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence chief said the chatbot’s continued operation is “a matter of paramount national security” — and was used to fire more than “2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours.”
Even putting my opinions on using AI for military purposes aside (obviously very against it), Grok is truly and objectively the worst of the AI options to use for anything, let alone for actual military operations. Grok is Elon Musk’s personal gooner bot and it does nothing else well
How much do you think it would take to get the Pentagon to sue LLM companies for bad intelligence? With as much as this administration refuses to take blame for anything, if they’d just scapegoat the AI companies and sacrifice them on the altar of Trump’s ego, we could at least get a small win out of this whole mess.
We are getting a small win. Trump has done more than anyone else to force the world onto green energy and away from fossile fuels. Apparently he’s even given up on shutting down the approved solar and wind projects because everyone else is ignoring his desperate propping up of coal and oil.
