Trump's Second Term

Pentagon is embracing Musk's Grok AI chatbot as it draws global outcry

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.

Effective immediately, the Defense Innovation Steering Group, the Defense Innovation Working Group, and the CTO Council are DISESTABLISHED AND ABOLISHED...



@SECWAR "Today, at my direction, we are ending the alphabet soup of councils that meet and brief and write memos and schedule meetings – but never decide and rarely, if ever, accelerate outcomes.

Effective immediately, the Defense Innovation Steering Group, the Defense Innovation Working Group, and the CTO Council are DISESTABLISHED AND ABOLISHED...

Every organization in this ecosystem must earn its place — by delivering warfighting advantages faster than our adversaries can adapt. No sacred cows. No exceptions."

Wonder why he drinks, he seems quite good at getting high on his own supply.
 
Its his 25% tariff on any country doing any business with Iran that is driving it up.

I mean, I actually agree with that one, and we should do more to support the rebellion in Iran, like arming them, which would drive up prices even more. But that'd be totally worth it.
I assume you are in the US? It may be hard to convince Americans, but flooding places with weapons isn't a good thing*. The US provision of weapons to Syrian rebel groups ended up arming ISIS and leading to a massive number of civilian deaths and destruction. Supplying arms to Sunni groups allied to ISIS who are opposed to the Iranian government will not reduce deaths. They are the ones who bomb mosques etc. If you want to make things better for the people of Iran and stop the riots and consequent deaths ease up on sanctions. Take actions that will reduce deaths not increase them.

Just possibly talking may be more effective. Perhaps a bit of carrot rather than just the stick. remember it was Trump that ended the deal with Iran on non-proliferation, not the Iranians.

* viz Mexico. The instability in Mexico murder rate and power of the drug gangs would be far less if it wasn't for the massive number of illegal weapons smuggled into the US from Mexico. If the US put as much effort into stopping weapons that kill thousands of Mexicans crossing the border as they do into drug smuggling the drug problem would disappear as the Mexican police could easily police Mexico, if not faced with heavily armed criminals.
 
am I the only one who finds the term 'warfighters' slightly ... childish? Like it comes from an Action Man advert or something?
Like so much else with this administration, it's performative puffery by people whose depth of understanding of policy doesn't go any deeper than "reality" TV, a show they're putting on strictly for ratings from an audience that doesn't understand (or care about) the actual realities they play at addressing any more than they do. Their ICE performances are the same thing- they don't actually care about fixing immigration issues, they're just putting on a show for the vicarious satisfaction of a resentment that same audience feels at not being as respected as they feel they are entitled to for no other reason than that they are the "True American Patriots."

How does that support the uprising and the people? Most of the current unrest came from the terrible economy, people not being able to afford basic items such as food. Make it more expensive and all you will do is starve Iranians.
