Donald Trump’s administration turned to Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to launch thousands of missiles in Iran, according to a top defense official.
In a sworn statement defending the trillionaire from a lawsuit alleging xAI data centers are illegally polluting Black communities, the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence chief said the chatbot’s continued operation is “a matter of paramount national security” — and was used to fire more than “2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours.”

One of the biggest risks is the lack of responsibility. Ex: it wasn't my fault we bombed that school full of children, the AI said it was a military base.

"Hey Grok when you're done generating me an image of my high school crush, fire a missile at Hezbollah."
How long do we have before collateral damage happens just because the AI hallucinates if it hasn't already happened.

In all fairness, some of the worst atrocities might be humans deliberately doing that.
AI is wrong so often, but so believed by many, it’s the perfect cover for war crimes done on purpose

I hope they just selfdestruct
As in, firing missles at their own data centers

The Terminator was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual.
