And to add, information fed into an public AI algorithm feeds into the answers it gives to future questions. Does this seem like a good idea? Especially coming from whiskey leaks and his band of merry facists?

This is so, ridiculously dangerous.
Grok has known, obvious issues.
Trusting our military networks to this vulnerable and unpredictable artificial intelligence system risks the security of any connected network to Musk's whims and his AI's hallucinations.
This is the best the GOP can offer.

This seemed apt.

On a less important, note, the announcement could lead to another cease and desist notice.
I'm sure Jack White will be thrilled to learn that Pete Hegseth just used "Seven Nation Army" to promote tech fascism while giving a speech installing Elon Musk and Grok into control of all our military AI, our power grid, and our data.
