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.”
Child porn and child murder. What can't it do?
So this is how a school full of kids was bombed in Iran... or at least the convenient excuse for it.
I wonder if it was used for asset recognition and targeting. The girls school that was bombed was essentially in a military base, just meters away from military targets and was originally part of the military base. I think it wasn't more than a few years old so I can definitely see it not being updated in the database and 100% missed by an AI asset selection and targeting system. If it was a person, obviously they know now they fucked up royally.
