Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

a secure generative artificial intelligence
Well...1 outta 4 ain't bad 
But I have to say, I'm rather looking forward to the monstrosities they try to engineer when they remove humans with respect for what is actually possible/useful and replace it with drunk tv personalities just repeating 'make the gun bigger and more manly' prompts
It's 2 of 4 actually
AI should be in your battle rhythm every single day
I don't think you're supposed to tell your subordinates how to jork it but idk anything about the UCMJ
At this rate, the century of Amerikkan humiliation will start early! Gen AI is a security hole waiting to happen. I hope Hegseth fires anyone who won't use this tool, aka, folks with smarts.
A century might not be enough
Doing shit this stupid, I'm not sure there's even a decade left in the tank for Uncle Sam.
This memo doesn't feel like it was written with AI, he's not practicing what he's preaching. Particularly because no AI uses double space after periods.
Tabbed indents for new paragraphs look incredibly ugly if you double line space between the paragraphs too. They should either leave the indents out or they should not double space the paragraphs, not both, it's ugly.
Military memorandums have to follow the formulaic manual set forth by the Department of War via respective departments having their own specialized version, to maintain efficiency of communication. i.e the army has (AR) 25-50, the navy has SECNAV M-5216.5, the marines because they're an appendage of the navy have to follow navy regs those losers lol, airforce got AFM 33-326, and the department of war has, funny enough, the DoD 5110.4-M
That said I'm all for this jackass just absolutely emptying a whole bargeboat of monkey wrenches into the guts of the war machine. I guarantee every intel branch is gonna get absolutely pissed off over the fact the infosec of the DOW is about to get turned into a mesh strainer everyone can fiddle with like never before.
What font does the chatbot use?
Dammit. This memo appears to be Times New Roman, so I can't bring down the entire administration by pointing out their hypocrisy.
I think it would have been more funny if they used Qwen.
Hagseth you utter fool. All you did was instill rightful hope in your adversaries. May you crash and burn.
Hilarious that this is the memo that’s got people heated - I’ve seen this “leaked” across so many sites lol
The document is leaked in the sense that it was not intended to be seen by the public. Someone sent it to Ken Klippenstein, who is a journalist. Ken Klippenstein published the document on twitter.
I haven't seen other websites post the document. I've seen other website report Pete Hegseth's official announcement that he made on twitter and the genai.mil url which requires a government account to access.
This was the public announcement, below. The leaked memo is a private document.
Oh for sure- not meant to be a critique in any way. My observation was just that usually “leaks” are all the same version of the info (eg same screenshot) that gets shared between all outlets. But in this case, I’ve seen so many different screenshots of the same info (ie some in dark mode, etc) that it seems like a inordinately high number of people found it funny enough to share.
Ty for sharing o7
It's guerrilla marketing for AI, they get to show off how successful and influential they are because the DoD is being forced to use them in everything, that means it must be valuable because why else would so much of the US government be forced into propping it up?
I wouldn't be surprised either if it's guerilla marketing for the military and a captive audience for AI.
