Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google’s generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, as part of a broader push to feed as much of the military’s data as possible into the developing technology.

“Very soon we will have the world’s leading AI models on every unclassified and classified network throughout our department,” Hegseth said in a speech at Musk’s space flight company, SpaceX, in South Texas.

    They’re desperately trying to keep the AI bubble inflating. If it burst now, Trump economics will kick his ass

    I wonder how this would be different under Biden or Harris (or Obama for that matter) maybe we don’t have Grok accessing classified documents, but we certainly would have ChatGPT or something like that.

    I wonder how AI will be keeping classified documents secure. For instance, could the top secret information the AI knows about get shared with people that have lower levels of clearance?

      Even with classified information, part of proper control is limiting things to only people who have a “need to know.” This limits spread of information that anybody can use to puzzle-piece together bigger secrets.

      But AI is fucking stupid, and will tell you whatever you want to hear if you figure out the right prompt. So it’s just a matter of time before you get some lateral spillage.

      The top secret networks are kind of air-gapped, but I don’t know if they can keep this administration’s idiots from connecting to a commercial cloud. At that point, definite spillage.

    I had no idea that the US military would apparently need to generate their own CSAM, nor did I think I could possibly dislike them more than I already do.
