Literally on the timeline for AI-2027.

https://ai-2027.com/

<edit> AI-2027, not Project 2027

FrustratedMonky•1h ago
Not sure why the downvote.

Part of AI-2027, one of the early steps, was government dependance on AI for routine jobs. They become dependent on AI, and thus less willing to slow down or put on any guard rails. Because they can't live without it, they keep accelerating.

lelandfe•22m ago
Likely because they said Project 2027 which is something different
FrustratedMonky•18m ago
Did not realize there was a follow on to Project 2025, called 2027.
lelandfe•17m ago
evokes something different/doesn't exist

At minimum that link does not describe a project and does not use that Proper Noun

cyanydeez•54m ago
ok, first, this isn't superhuman AI; this is slop production at scale. we could do these with markov chains decades ago.

The only difference now is the slop looks critically better, but there's no quality accounting.

defmetrix•1h ago
I have no problem with this. If the AI has access to the funding and schedule data, it will probably give a more honest answer that the humans. And in reality, nobody in congress is going to take the time to read the report anyways. They will just vote the way they are told.
cyanydeez•56m ago
Me either, bullshit vs bullshit AI is exactly the same. It's not like this administration was going to produce anything of merit anyway, so why not just go as quickly as possible to the bullshit instead of this 2weeks song and dance.
FatherOfCurses•31m ago
You're assuming the AI will not be given any instructions to produce the report with a certain data bias.
creaghpatr•25m ago
If so, that would be auditable (in theory; whether it would be audited in practice, probably not).
galleywest200•10m ago
How many audits has the Pentagon failed in recent years?
dgellow•5m ago
Audits have literally no impact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Accountability_Offi...
FrustratedMonky•1h ago
The shocking part of the story is the scale.

1.5 Million Users just within the Pentagon?

"The Pentagon has made AI tools, starting with Google Cloud’s Gemini for Government, widely available to members of all six military branches through the department’s bespoke GenAI.mil platform since December 2025."

"The number of Department of Defense personnel using commercial AI tools such as Gemini through GenAI.mil has significantly increased from just 80,000 in December 2025 to 1.5 million in June 2026, the Pentagon CTO claimed during his remarks at the Hudson Institute."

not_a_bot_4sho•58m ago
"The Department of Defense is the country’s largest employer, with more than 2.1 million Military Service members and over 811 thousand civilian employees."

Presumably the whole point of AI is that we can start reducing that number. I am sure there's a significant number of people just working on various administrative tasks processing data and documents.
thatguy0900•4m ago
That's exactly what I want from the Pentagon, less real humans involved and more automated systems that don't even have the concept of morality and the social responsibility to be a potential whistleblower

AI slop reports from lazy, incompetent leaders? I'm shocked!
margalabargala•23m ago
That only matters to the extent the report is read, though.

Everyone is starting to use AI. I use three AIs daily. Why would the US military be different?
FrustratedMonky•10m ago
I think, assume. With the Military, with the goal of killing people, that there is assumption of more human judgment being involved. Beyond even the issue of a man-in-the-loop for targeting systems. But even generally, that these are big decisions that shouldn't be farmed out completely.
