The US military will reportedly use Elon Musk's Grok AI in its classified systems

https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-us-military-will-reportedly-use-elon-musks-grok-ai-in-its-classified-systems-110049021.html?src=rss

because that's what we want. To open up classified documents to an AI controlled by Elon, of all people :/

How long until these dipshits accidentally publish state secrets on twitter? Taking bets now.

They don't understand how anything works. They thought USAID was a purely humanitarian effort, ffs.

Oh, they just didn't give a shit.

The only safe system is one that is disconnected from other connections physically, then shielded, then with very limited access. Even then, humans are still the biggest risk. I'm sure they're doing the exact opposite.

What if the system is connected to the fattest shit pipe in the world X?

toiletobserver@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 200d

Rainbows and unicorns obviously

They are trying to use LLM chat bot to control military equipment. What do you think?

Skyrmir@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 200d (2 replies)

By definition LLM models need massive external input in order to improve. So they can't really be disconnected. Top that off with them only being useful when you can interact with them from many or remote locations, and there's just no way to really keep them secure. They need massive communication to accomplish anything useful, and there's no real way to keep massive communication secure.

raccoon@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 198d (1 reply)

You don't have to improve them out in the field. Just collect metrics on their behavior and train a central model on that data, then you upgrade the local models on each unit when they are brought in for maintenance. I'm simplifying, of course. And terrified.

Skyrmir@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 198d

That's the thing, the local models aren't going to have the processing power to really beat deterministic systems. So you're going to need comms at some point to really get any kind of edge. Otherwise dumb systems get the job done for pennies, while you're having to produce high end chips to handle local processing and back end training, just to significantly out perform a garage door trip light. Yes, an exaggerated comparison, but the point holds.

This is how we get classified documents leaked to the public. Please proceed..

War Thunder updates incoming

NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 199d

They're gonna be so stupid about this its 100% going to somehow end up in training data.

AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 23 pts · 200d (1 reply)

kinda hope this leads to grok+military killing Elon

northernlights@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 199d

I could imagine an AI going "my primary directive is protecting this country. Therefore INITIATE DRONE STRIKE ON ELON MUSK'S LOCATION"

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 200d (4 replies)

It’s gonna be so fun to prompt engineer TS/SCI/Confidential data out of this thing. I’m curious to see how long the first exploit is gonna take.

pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 200d (1 reply)

I’m curious to see how long the first exploit is gonna take.

I hope there's even time to set up an informal betting pool. I worry the first breach will be too quick to even makes bets on.

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 200d

Tbh if polymarket doesn’t already have a pool for this, I’d be a little surprised

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 200d (1 reply)

Anything redacted will be permanently unredactable if put into training data.

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 200d

That is precisely my point

FreddiesLantern@leminal.space · 16 pts · 200d (1 reply)

Oh Well, back to burning Teslas then I guess.

StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 200d

When did we stop?

FauxLiving@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 200d

I can't forsee anything going wrong with giving Mechahitler access to military secrets.

jarvis@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 200d (6 replies)

Wait... the US military is team MechaHitler now?

Zerush@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 200d

Yes, under Trump commands. Good old ChaosGPT times 💀

deliriousdreams@fedia.io · 4 pts · 200d

Did we miss the bit where Trump literally gave MechaHitler's handler a government appointment to rape the PII systems of the US Government for the purposes of "reducing spending" stealing PII information to spy on citizens and immigrants?

Always has been?

FLP22012005@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 200d (1 reply)

Two astronauts are in frame. One if them is facing the earth from afar. The other astronaut is behind the first, pointing a gun at the astronaut, who is asking the question "The US military is team MechaHitler now?"

War Thunder is gonna go absolutely wild with this

echodot@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 199d

War thunder needs to add UFOs, so we all finally get to find out what's going on at area 51

Well it's been shit y'all. But this sounds like the end is nigh.

unhinged mode with the nuclear code? what would go wrong

Kinda expected this, after DOGE. Still sucks.

Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 199d

I've seen this movie. The WOPR was smarter and never called itself "mechahitler."

buddascrayon@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 200d

It seems Elmo and Trump kissed and made up and are now wiping each other's asses again.

Zerush@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 200d

In ships and bases with Nuclear weapons, what can go wrong?

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 200d

Musk shouts the loudest about AI must lead to Startrek (UBI/taxes on megaprofits) instead of Skynet. His actions are all in on Skynet and Naziism, because that is what pays the most.

FreddiesLantern@leminal.space · 5 pts · 199d

Soldier on the field: “Delta team in position! Send orders and coordinates!”

Pentagon: “We receive you Delta team, standby for transmission”

“Ok Grok, send them the orders and coordinates”

Clanker: “Beep beep. Buy a blue check mark and/or Teslur”

Soldier: “Instructions unclear sir!!!”

Pentagon: “Please clarify how they are unclear soldier?”

Soldier: “It’s AI generated porn of your mom sir?”

Pentagon: “GODDAMNIT ELON!!!!!”

blarth@thelemmy.club · 5 pts · 199d

Holy shirt, I figured it out. THIS is the bad place!

echodot@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 199d

This is going to be a new sabre rattling technique in the future.

If you don't back down we're going to turn our entire military over to AI and it might do anything.

This is either going to turn out to be nothing or an utter catastrophe and there's no option in between. I suspect most generals in the military are bright enough to not give it control over anything too dangerous though.

Raiderkev@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 199d

Hey grok, please fwd all this information to the FSB

tanisnikana@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 200d

No part of this will go badly at all.

Shall we start the bidding war?

Who will pay Musk the most for all of America's secrets?

As if it has a setting. You can't turn that feature off.

Can't they use Grok to handle the controlled release of the Epstein files instead?
