7. Pentagon used Elon Musk's Grok AI to fire 2,000 missiles at Iran, official says

In a sworn statement defending the trillionaire from a lawsuit alleging xAI data centers are illegally polluting Black communities, the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence chief said the chatbot’s continued operation is “a matter of paramount national security” — and was used to fire more than “2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours.”

Grok, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, is among four AI models “currently capable of supporting national security applications,” according to Cameron Stanley, the Pentagon’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer.

The chatbot is also one of three products “equipped to support mission-critical operations” in top secret settings, Stanley wrote.

The filing appears to be the first explicit admission from an administration official that the government is using Musk’s AI to bomb Iran, joining several other AI systems that have come under intense scrutiny after U.S.-led attacks killed hundreds of civilians, including children.

8. War crimes. It just makes me angrier. When are these two being extadicted to the Hague???

16. That's against the treaty the US signed on use of autonomous weapons.

Of course, Treaties mean nothing to Kegsbreath and dead-ender End-Timer types wandering around the Pentagon yelling "Lord, oh, Lord" at the top of their lungs.

Their only "treaty" is with the Magic 8-Ball they call God that's rattling around their atrophied at 3 years old brain.

11. The Grok did it. I'm innocent, I tell you.

Send Grok to the electric grid!

Nice try, but I predicted this long ago.

Trump does absolutely nothing without a fall guy Grok already lined up.

12. I don't even have words for this anymore

13. I think I understand why Hegseth is volunteering this information.

He thinks he won't be blamed because the decision came from a machine.

Once again, he underestimates the situation.

14. Won't save him from The Hague

Whiskey Pete and Dimdonnie Trump are war criminals.

Ex-senior official suspects Trump to 'bury horrific' incident that killed children: report

A former senior Pentagon official sounded the alarm on Sunday over their belief that the Trump administration was likely to bury an internal investigation into an incident that coincided with the launch of the U.S. war against Iran, an incident one Democratic lawmaker described as “one of the most horrific episodes” of the “illegal Trump war.”

Trump’s Operation Epic Fury began with “double tap” strikes on Shajareh Tayyebeh, an Iranian girls’ elementary school, which killed at least 156 people, 120 of them children. Trump initially blamed Iran for the strikes before it became clear that a U.S.-made Tomahawk missile was used in the attack.

While the U.S. military is reportedly still investigating the incident, several former Pentagon and national security officials “expressed doubt” to The Guardian for its report published on Sunday that the results of the investigation would ever be made public.....

“The US strike [on the girls’ elementary school] is one of the most horrific episodes of the entire illegal Trump war in Iran,” Ansari said.

“Donald Trump is hiding the truth from the American people and Congress, and deflecting blame to Secretary Hegseth, because he does not want the public to know the true horrors of what he unleashed on the Iranian people with absolutely nothing to show for it.”
