Holy shit you have got to be kidding me.
When they said they are using AI I thought it was like a lot of scientists and engineers use "AI". Like some sort of expert system with a neural network somewhere in the guts. Some math thing that gets labeled as AI to keep the funding going.
But they are actually using Grok. An LLM. A bullshit generation machine.
They are actually going "@grok Where do we bomb the brown people?"
That's fucking batshit insane. They don't actually think that it is an AI right? They don't actually think it can reason or think at all? Or solve problems? Or any of the things that would actually be useful, instead of simply generating the next most probable piece of bullshit in a long line of never ending bullshit.
This world is actually fucking insane. The amount of brain washing going on when it comes to AI is wild.
it's just a plausable deniability machine, the "AI" attachment is just excuse to ratfuck more public funds
For any other administration I would agree with this. For these guys? They are absolutely stupid enough to really be using Grok for decisions like this.
Who knows? That is either just an excuse to protect that illegal facility of an oligarch or they are really using that facility to target girl schools in Iran.
Or both.
