"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

SECRETARY OF WAR

1000 DEFENSE PENTAGON

WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1000

DEC - 9 2025

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL DEPARTMENT OF WAR PERSONNEL

SUBJECT: Harness Artificial Intelligence Now with GenAl

I am pleased to introduce GenAl.mil, a secure generative artificial intelligence (Al) platform for every member of the Department of War. It is live today and available on the desktops of all military personnel, civilians, and contractors. With this launch we are taking a giant step toward mass Al adoption across the Department. This tool marks the beginning of a new era where every member of our workforce can be more efficient and impactful.

The first GenAl platform capability is Google Gemini, a frontier Al application that can help you write documents, ask questions, conduct deep research, format content, and unlock new possibilities across your daily workflows. Gemini is the first of several enterprise Al applications that will be rolled out on the GenAI platform. It is secure, certified up to Impact Level 5 (ILS), and is fully authorized to handle CUI.

Victory belongs to those who embrace real innovation. Rather than being reliant on the dusty, antiquated systems of a bygone era, we are thinking ahead here in the Department of War. GenAl.mil is part of this monumental transformation. It removes wasted time and focuses more of our energy into decisive results for the warfighter.

Access is straightforward. Navigate to GenAl.mil and you will be able to access the tool with your CAC. The platform is certified secure for operational use on NIPR.

I expect every member of the Department to log in, learn it, and incorporate it into your workflows immediately. Al should be in your battle rhythm every single day.

It should be your teammate. By mastering this tool, we will outpace our adversaries. The power is now in your hands.

Battle rhythm?

Who is this insufferable little twat?

This freak has his head so far up rich tech bro's assholes he could lick their tonsils.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

Sorry about rolling that grenade under your bunk Mr. Secretary, GenAI told me to do it.

I miss thinking the general populace might understand sweet fuckall about computers someday.

*sighs, drinks*

[–] III@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't this just proof they don't understand a thing about computers?...

Battle rhythm?

The only rhythm this guy has is the aRHYTHMia his heart goes through when he hasn't had a drink and the DTs kick in.

Not only do I expect it to produce nonsensical advice that results in combat losses and other negligence, I also expect it to be used as an excuse to deflect blame for war crimes.

We are still operating on the basis that carpet bombing works, despite having executed some of the biggest, deadliest, longest, widest, most precise, hottest and expensive bombing campaigns since planes were invented, and, with the exception of dropping nukes on Japan, it has never won a war.

Not saying AI is smart, but also neither is military command.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 30 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why did you massacre these unarmed children private?

I was just following orders sir.

Who's orders?

Grok sir.

Well in that case, I think that ones still breathing.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago

Grok called for that secondary strike on those fishermen.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 51 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Now taking bets for when the major leak of military secrets will occur

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Annnnnd they've gone.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Leak? Never. Google will secure those assets for itself and use them to build the Torment Nexus.

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Oh, that device from the classic "Don't Build the Torment Nexus!" series of science fiction novels? Wow, I can't believe the future is finally here.

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 9 points 10 hours ago

AI probably wrote Hegseth's email, TBH.

[–] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 41 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Oh boy, it will be doubly difficult now to tell insane policy apart from the hallucinations.

[–] Red_October@piefed.world 20 points 12 hours ago

I've been hoping the entire past year was a hallucination, myself.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 20 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Is Petey on the sauce again?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

He used to be. He still is now, but he used to be as well.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah pretty sure he never left it.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 14 points 12 hours ago

Go ahead Trumpmerica, shoot yourself in the foot.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

Had to use daddy's sharpie to sign

I hope the plague wipes his entire family line. Seriously. Black death? Take this one. We don't need him.
