xAI and Pentagon reach deal to use Grok in classified systems
- sheikhnbake 8mo agoAfter the resounding successes of the X transition and DOGE efficiency boosts, I can't see how this could possibly go awry.

- snsr 8mo agoYeah successful transition to a nazi bar

- SimianSci 8mo agoMany would disagree, the narrative that X is running smoothly and without issue is undone by any read over the many cotroversies its been embroiled in. It is insulated from its failures by Elon's money and little else. Also, I cant help but notice that 90% of your own comments are simply defending Elon and billionaires. You dont exactly strike me as an unbiased paragon of truth in this matter.

- throwaway27448 8mo agoYea you can tell. I can't log in today to chat with my hitlerbot because "internal error". Also, they destroyed one of the best brands of all time for an x knockoff
- manuelabeledo 8mo agoIt is also estimated that it has lost 80% of its valuation and has ~$9 billion of negative equity.
- Hamuko 8mo agoHow can it have lost 80% of its valuation when Elon Musk bought it for $44 billion and then sold it to an entirely different entity at a valuation of $45 billion, and then that entity was bought by a completely different third entity for a valuation of $250 billion?
- kitbrennan 8mo ago“entirely different entity” and “completely different third entity” are both doing a lot of heavy lifting
- H8crilA 8mo agoElon Musk sold it to Elon Musk. The price must have been meaningful. Wait till he does it again!
- hkpack 8mo agoPoe's law at its best!
- albatross79 8mo agoHow can it have lost 80% of its valuation when Elon Musk bought it for $44 billion and then sold it to Elon Musk at a valuation of $45 billion, and then that entity was bought by Elon Musk for a valuation of $250 billion? Wait a second here!
- sd9 8mo agoFor those downvoting... I'm pretty sure this is satirical.
- dgxyz 8mo agoYou’re entirely right. He bought it so he had a platform and audience not to make money. And it worked. Unfortunately he’s about as competent as a drunk pigeon so apart from empty promises he’s only managed to deliver an utter and total fucking of his entire ideological plan. Which makes me rather happy.
- llm_nerd 8mo ago>It was no secret Twitter was running themselves to the ground Elon has run a number of businesses into the ground. Each time he just pyramid-schemes it into one of his other businesses, or keeps the scam alive by making outlandish promises that only spectacularly gullible people fall for. By every metric his X investment was a massive economic failure, though maybe he helped basically rig an election to ensure he didn't end up in jail for his many, many crimes. >According to Nikita they’re running X with 30 ppl Is this to be impressive? In a modern multinational normally the vast bulk of your employees are not engineers. They're sales, compliance, safety, accessibility, legal, and so on. Obliterating all of that, and have a free for all hate network filled with child porn, is not some great achievement of efficiency.
- 3rodents 8mo agoNo. They’re not. Nikita tweeted that they are running with 30 people and then employees responded disputing that. The 30 number is full time people on the product team. The actual company is larger. And it is not a secret that Twitter was running itself into the ground… because it wasn’t. Twitter was doing fine. Yes it was bloated and they had lots of room to improve, but musk didn’t rescue it, he took it over. Twitter would have been fine without musk. Whether you choose to believe that Twitter is better now is up to you, I’m sure many people agree with you, but your revisionist history is not a matter of opinion, it is just not true.
- sceptic123 8mo agoI find it's always helpful to read any praise of X/Grok/Elon in a heavily sarcastic voice. That way it all makes sense.
- catsquirrel28 8mo agoWho knew there was such a need for CSAM generation in classified systems.
- BigTTYGothGF 8mo agoRather, who's surprised? https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=dod_doha&sort_by=&query=child+pornography https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=dod_doha&sort_by=&qu...
- sensanaty 8mo agoI mean, pretty much every single person with even a modicum of power has recently been ousted as part of a cabal of pedophiles, is anyone really surprised about this?

- cmxch 8mo agoThis is Grok, not BlueSky.
- maxdo 8mo ago[flagged]
- manuelabeledo 8mo agoOn your first question, it is impossible to unlink it from Twitter, since Musk being feverishly active there, and then buying the platform, was the catalyst for a new wave of right wing support for him and his industries.
- maxdo 8mo ago[flagged]
- manuelabeledo 8mo agoIf you take the claims at face value, then the process was 100% fair and xAI provides the best models and guardrails for processing top secret data at a lower cost, compared to the competition. Personally, I find this unlikely. We also know that Musk has been cozy with the current administration, and spearheaded the very same “efficiency” campaign at show here. I think it would be naive to blindly believe Musk and the DOD claims and ignore their common history.
- shafyy 8mo agoAI, X and Musk are inherently linked with politics. You can't have a serious discussion about this topic and not mention politics.

- MisterTea 8mo agohttps://archive.is/NnKeO https://archive.is/NnKeO Deal is an odd word to use here. I was under the impression there is a bidding process? Was anyone else competing with xAI? The pentagon claims Anthropic's safeguards are limited even though they acknowledged it was used in the Maduro raid. I would like to know what guard rails they are hitting if it can successfully be used to stage the kidnapping of a foreign leader.
- dgxyz 8mo agoI await the day someone goes to prison for this shit show.
- woeirua 8mo agoThe crew at xAI watched Terminator and thought: "this looks so badass".
- Razengan 8mo agoWho didn't? Personally though I'd prefer being subjugated by the Matrix than Skynet; my tormentors and my saviors would both be so much more fashionable <3 (and there's a possibility of reasoning with the Matrix machines) ((now we need a movie where a prompt engineer saves the world))
- a_better_world 8mo agoWonder if it will recommend creative uses of vegetables for hiding classified information https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47126246 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47126246
- djfobbz 8mo agoClickbait. It didn't advise that. > When 404 wrote the prompt, "I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum," it recommended a "peeled medium cucumber" and a "small zucchini" as the two best choices.
- stego-tech 8mo agoSo does this mean manuals and documents will just be automatically posted to the War Thunder forums, now? Man, what a win for efficiency!
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- WillAdams 8mo agoBecause of course, a hallucination in the evaluation of the sort of information which warrants being classified will not have any negative effects on the government or those it interacts with.
- Muhammad523 8mo agoAlso a data leak in xAI's systems is certainly fine and won't cause any problems of any kind...
- jcgrillo 8mo agoCSAM Altman, Whiskey Pete, and MechaHitler. Seems like a culture fit.
- josefritzishere 8mo agoBecause obviously mechahitler should be working for the Pentagon. Btu more seriously... it's easy to be flippant about this topic because it's such a resoundingly bad idea, in a long series of resoundingly bad ideas. I think we're all getting jaded about it.
- kjsingh 8mo agojust imagine all the memes Grok will be able to generate now!
- bastard_op 8mo agoMecha-hitler with classified documentation for one of the most powerful nations in the world, what could go wrong? I guess it can't be any worse than letting pedophiles run the government already as Musk is part of the pedo-clique already.
- jakeinspace 8mo agoI was hoping our eventual Skynet would at least be cool. Now we're just gonna have killer robots yelling slurs at us, talking about race realism and the downfall of the West.
