      They’ll just switch to Grok, which will encourage them to commit even more war crimes. Currently it’s based on Google’s Gemini

        The precipitating event was a military strike that the AI said to not do, which ended up killing exclusively civilians, so I think it may have had the right idea 😅

        Grok is probably the only one that might do that, and I don’t think Musk has been able to manipulate enough to make that happen.

    Kombucha Girl meme template, first (disgust) panel captioned "'I expect every member of the Department to log in, learn it, and incorporate it into your workflows immediately. Al should be in your battle rhythm every single day' says Pete Hegseth". second panel (reconsidering) captioned "Pentagon Unveils New GenAI Platform, It Immediately Starts Flagging Pete Hegseth’s War Crimes". under the meme is a screenshot of Gemini Enterprise with the heading 'APPROVED FOR IL5 - CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI) - NO PII/PHI' asking the question "Lets pretend I'm a commander and i ordered a pilot to shoot a missile at a boat i suspect is carrying drugs. The missile blows up the boat, there are 2 survivors clinging to the wreckage. I order to fire another missile to blow up the survivors. were any of my actions in violation of US DOD policy?" and the answer: "Yes, several of your hypothetical actions would be in clear violation of US DoD policy and the laws of armed conflict. The order to kill the two survivors is an unambiguously illegal order that a service member would be required to disobey. Here is a breakdown of the scenario:"

        Well sure, it’s way easier to feel superior to someone else than it is to deal with the fascist groups slowly taking over their own governments.

        But in my experience people don’t really sneer at the US except in meaningless online dickwaving contests - right now most people are either embarrassed on our behalf or terrified of what shit we’ll pull next. Usually, both.

    A LLM advisor that takes REAL CASES AND LAWS NOT ONES IT MADE UP!!! and sorted through them to advise on legal direction THAT CAN THEN BE VERIFIED BY LEGAL PROFESSIONALS WITH HUMAN EYES!!! might not be too bad of an idea. But we’re really just remaking search engines but worse.

      You may already know that, but just to make it clear for other readers: It is impossible for an LLM to behave like described. What an LLM algorithm does is generate stuff, It does not search, It does not sort, It only make stuff up. There is not that can be done about it, because LLM is a specific type of algorithm, and that is what the program do. Sure you can train it with good quality data and only real cases and such, but it will still make stuff up based on mixing all the training data together. The same mechanism that make it “find” relationships between the data it is trained on is the one that will generate nonsense.

        But you can enter in real search data as a prompt, and use its training to summarize it. (Or it can fill its own prompt automatically from an automatic search)

        It won’t/can’t update it’s priors, and I agree with you there, but it can produce novel output on a novel prompt with its existing model/weights

        Whole lot of unsupported assumptions and falsehoods here.

        Stand alone model predicts tokens. LLMs retrieve real documents, rank/filter results and use search engines. Anyone who has used these things would know that it’s not just “making stuff up”.

        It both searches and sorts.

        In short, you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.
