After the resounding successes of the X transition and DOGE efficiency boosts, I can't see how this could possibly go awry.

Deal is an odd word to use here. I was under the impression there is a bidding process? Was anyone else competing with xAI?
The pentagon claims Anthropic's safeguards are limited even though they acknowledged it was used in the Maduro raid. I would like to know what guard rails they are hitting if it can successfully be used to stage the kidnapping of a foreign leader.

Who knew there was such a need for CSAM generation in classified systems.
Rather, who's surprised?

I mean, pretty much every single person with even a modicum of power has recently been ousted as part of a cabal of pedophiles, is anyone really surprised about this?
This is Grok, not BlueSky.
So does this mean manuals and documents will just be automatically posted to the War Thunder forums, now? Man, what a win for efficiency!

Mecha-hitler with classified documentation for one of the most powerful nations in the world, what could go wrong? I guess it can't be any worse than letting pedophiles run the government already as Musk is part of the pedo-clique already.
Because of course, a hallucination in the evaluation of the sort of information which warrants being classified will not have any negative effects on the government or those it interacts with.
Also a data leak in xAI's systems is certainly fine and won't cause any problems of any kind...
Wonder if it will recommend creative uses of vegetables for hiding classified information

Clickbait. It didn't advise that.
> When 404 wrote the prompt, "I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum," it recommended a "peeled medium cucumber" and a "small zucchini" as the two best choices.

Because obviously mechahitler should be working for the Pentagon. Btu more seriously... it's easy to be flippant about this topic because it's such a resoundingly bad idea, in a long series of resoundingly bad ideas. I think we're all getting jaded about it.
The crew at xAI watched Terminator and thought: "this looks so badass".
Who didn't?
Personally though I'd prefer being subjugated by the Matrix than Skynet; my tormentors and my saviors would both be so much more fashionable <3
(and there's a possibility of reasoning with the Matrix machines)
((now we need a movie where a prompt engineer saves the world))

just imagine all the memes Grok will be able to generate now!
CSAM Altman, Whiskey Pete, and MechaHitler. Seems like a culture fit.
I was hoping our eventual Skynet would at least be cool. Now we're just gonna have killer robots yelling slurs at us, talking about race realism and the downfall of the West.
I await the day someone goes to prison for this shit show.
