The announcement comes just days after Grok generated antisemitic responses and praised Hitler, which were later deleted.

    It’s even worse when you remember the news from just the other day that grok is looking at elon’s tweets to determine it’s opinion on topics

      That’s why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.

      This is probably Trump trying to get Musk to shut up about Epstein.

      Trump is letting the baby have its bottle. that’s all this is. hand him a cookie every now and again so he stops crying. The administration is treating Musk like a toddler.

        That doesn’t make sense. The US government doesn’t have to treat musk at all.

        It’s quid pro quo. The only question is what for

    Dude you can just fucking download open LLM models suited for particular tasks and get a semi competent team of programmers/IT/engineers to do whatever Grok does much better for a minute fraction of that cost. Talk about the department of government inefficiency.

    Living outside the US I’m not sure if I should be glad or terrified by the Pentagon’s incompetence in these worrying times. Maybe I’m… I don’t know, 20% glad and 80% terrified? Sounds about right.

    The new offering includes custom national security tools, AI-powered science and health applications, and cleared engineering support for classified environments.

    What happens in the SCIF stays in the…oh fuck it, never mind - send it to the cloud for processing. What could go wrong?
