    a secure generative artificial intelligence

    Well…1 outta 4 ain’t bad susie-laugh

    But I have to say, I’m rather looking forward to the monstrosities they try to engineer when they remove humans with respect for what is actually possible/useful and replace it with drunk tv personalities just repeating ‘make the gun bigger and more manly’ prompts

    At this rate, the century of Amerikkan humiliation will start early! Gen AI is a security hole waiting to happen. I hope Hegseth fires anyone who won’t use this tool, aka, folks with smarts.

    This memo doesn’t feel like it was written with AI, he’s not practicing what he’s preaching. Particularly because no AI uses double space after periods.

    Tabbed indents for new paragraphs look incredibly ugly if you double line space between the paragraphs too. They should either leave the indents out or they should not double space the paragraphs, not both, it’s ugly.

      Military memorandums have to follow the formulaic manual set forth by the Department of War via respective departments having their own specialized version, to maintain efficiency of communication. i.e the army has (AR) 25-50, the navy has SECNAV M-5216.5, the marines because they’re an appendage of the navy have to follow navy regs those losers lol, airforce got AFM 33-326, and the department of war has, funny enough, the DoD 5110.4-M

      That said I’m all for this jackass just absolutely emptying a whole bargeboat of monkey wrenches into the guts of the war machine. I guarantee every intel branch is gonna get absolutely pissed off over the fact the infosec of the DOW is about to get turned into a mesh strainer everyone can fiddle with like never before.

    It’s guerrilla marketing for AI, they get to show off how successful and influential they are because the DoD is being forced to use them in everything, that means it must be valuable because why else would so much of the US government be forced into propping it up?

      I wouldn’t be surprised either if it’s guerilla marketing for the military and a captive audience for AI.

      The document is leaked in the sense that it was not intended to be seen by the public. Someone sent it to Ken Klippenstein, who is a journalist. Ken Klippenstein published the document on twitter.

      I haven’t seen other websites post the document. I’ve seen other website report Pete Hegseth’s official announcement that he made on twitter and the genai.mil url which requires a government account to access.

      This was the public announcement, below. The leaked memo is a private document.

      • Oh for sure- not meant to be a critique in any way. My observation was just that usually “leaks” are all the same version of the info (eg same screenshot) that gets shared between all outlets. But in this case, I’ve seen so many different screenshots of the same info (ie some in dark mode, etc) that it seems like a inordinately high number of people found it funny enough to share.

        Ty for sharing o7
