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

    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.

      No, no - It’s because it’s mechahitler that this contract is now in place.

    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.

    I’ve seen this movie.

    “The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug Skynet Grok in.”
