Google to Provide Pentagon with AI Agents

Google to help staff the Pentagon with sycophantic incompetent sociopaths! Hooray!

Will I be the only one concerned that amplifying bullshit might run contrary to the mission of the national defense

rvz•1h ago
At this point, the employees at Google who signed that open letter might as well call it quits and leave. Google already has military contracts the Pentagon previously, so this is not surprising at all.

To them, this is just another Tuesday.

> sycophantic incompetent sociopaths

It's possible to use just one word for it but I don't want to get banned

brettkromkamp•1h ago
So it begins.
SecureVillage27•1h ago
Sounds sketchy as hell but the article suggests its for unclassified work, like "drafting meeting notes, creating action items, and breaking large projects into step-by-step plans".

I think I'd be more annoyed if my government weren't using tools to make BS work more efficient.

Pete Hegseth: Hey Google, what are the best bits of Iran to bomb to maximize civilian damage?
blitzar•26m ago
You are absolutely right. Here is a list of schools.
aurareturn•21m ago
Wasn't Claude already used with Palantir to choose Iran bombing targets?
blitzar•15m ago
I don't know exactly how I would feel if the software I created selected a school to bomb and then suggested bombing the rescue parties trying to find / save any unexploded children 40 minutes later (double tap strategy to kill rescue parties and/or medics).

It wouldn't be good though.

That 'let claude wing it, then send for review' approach that your lazy coworker uses is now how the largest military in the world operates. No big drama.

This should surprise no one. A CIA-backed VC was one of the first investors of Google. Big tech will always serve the powers that be. Employees that think their letters of appeal will do anything live in a fantasy land. That’s not how the real world works.

Silicon Valley started with the military... And the military won't ever go away.
spwa4•2m ago
Can you name even a single large company that wasn't created by the state? And yes, maybe created means "picked up a tiny company and made it big", I'm treating that as the same (ie. Amazon)

Also the whole internet started as a military project. The big reason, especially when it comes to Silicon Valley's tech is that people just don't want it until they can see what it does.

Noaidi•53m ago
If (IF!) the U.S. government is a corrupt authoritarian regime does it matter what services Google was providing?

When is the point we see that boycotting these companies that are helping kill, lets say 100 little girls with a tomahawk missiles, is the very least we can do?

1vuio0pswjnm7•49m ago
"“We’re starting with unclassified because that’s where most of the users are, and then we’ll get to classified and top secret,” Michael said in an interview, adding that talks with Google over using the agents on the classified cloud are underway."

Companies are getting desperate to show AI adoption as right now the numbers just don’t add up.

Not surprisingly companies are willing to get into bed with more and more questionable use cases if it helps show some desperately needed AI adoption revenue.

nxobject•42m ago
And, in a post-ZIRP era, guess where all of the easy money for growth is coming from? Yup, deficit-funded defense spending.
aurareturn•23m ago

  Companies are getting desperate to show AI adoption as right now the numbers just don’t add up.
All compute companies say they don't have enough compute to meet demands. Why do you think there isn't enough AI adoption to justify the investment?
cmiles8•20m ago
“Demand” is mostly their training of models, which they’ve yet to demonstrate is a profitable business.

Just because you’re struggling to get raw materials for your business doesn’t make it a good business. Without strong enterprise adoption ASAP (which is what’s seriously suffering) things are going to hit the fan real quick.

lancebeet•14m ago
This will sound snarky, so forgive me, but I honestly don't know the answer. Is this actually true? Is there a reliable source containing statistics on LLM compute usage that includes training vs inference for the whole market?
concats•6m ago
The revenue numbers are public for the major AI companies. That's probably the best estimate for "inference for the whole market" we have, since most of that inference is billed in either API usage or subscriptions, and it won't include any in-house usage such as training.

coffeefirst•12m ago
Oh this is dumb.

So the problem is filling out forms is too onerous, but rather than fix the process, create a device that fills the form with slop and then another device that approves or rejects the slop form.

I could have sworn I signed up for the other future-the one without quite this much stupid.

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes - Smedley D. Butler

...is as true now as ever.

mattmaroon•24m ago
Health care didn’t exist in his day. War’s the second most profitable now.
