"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.

Good news, comrades! The hated capitalist pigs have just cut the legs off of their military!

The secdef...er...secwar is an alcoholic Fox News host. Way past that already.

How can anyone with a sound mind trust a guy who used a public chat program for top secrete military actions.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

It wasn't public, didn't he use a fork made by an Israeli company that removed the message encryption and "securely" archived everything on a remote server where hackers (and other foreign states) could download everything?

I like how the media keep referring to him as a journalist.

No, he was a monkey trained to read an autocue. On the weekend.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

We are currently clean on opsec tho, it's fine.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

When is Grok being onboarded. Then the real shit show starts.

AI is being peddled to govt to stave off the bubble bursting.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

I’m sure it’s a little bit keeping the economy afloat for a little longer while also a bit of jumping on the opportunity to have as many fake bullshit pictures as possible in a time when president pedo is at risk of legitimate photos leaking.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 9 hours ago

This is exactly it, isn't it? Force integration, make it critical and boom "too big to fail" and unlimited bailouts.

“dEpArTmEnT oF wAr!”

I expect this to be written in sharpie on a cardboard box with the letter “r” backwards.

What a bunch of fucking children.

I can’t imagine the level of reality one must suspend to live with the shame and embarrassment that comes from having voted for this trash.

Literally hard piping the entirety (remainder) of military intelligence to the highest bidder. Goddamn America is gonna kill America in the most American way.

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.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 51 points 2 days ago (2 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.

Gemini according to the letter, but yeah, same difference, just slightly less naziified

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.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Interestingly, producing unbelievable amounts of bombs does help ammunition companies.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It looks like from a low budget science fiction parody movie from the 80s

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Reads like it was written by AI

Coincidentally Behind the Bastards is talking about Nuclear armageddom in a 5-part series this week and oh hell they're a shred of a veil from plugging this into the armageddon trigger and killing us all.

I'm beginning to think "Be nice to ai because it will be an all powerful god" was the plan, not a crackpot excuse for fascism...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Someone on here pointed out that the host of Behind the Bastards says, "Right!?" after every other sentence, and it made listening to it harder for me.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

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

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (11 children)

He uses that term as if it's something that people in the military say. Maybe it is, but it sure seems like a bullshit term.

But, even if it's a term they use, is "battle rhythm" sounds like something that might happen, I dunno, during a battle? And if you're in the middle of a battle, is that really a time when you should be using AI? "Hey ChatGPT, what -- BOOM -- coordinates should I tell them to use


ratatatatatatat -- for the -- POW -- artillery strike!?"

A lot of people are going to start dying because of AI hallucinations.
