Dupe., but worth re-watching

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."

"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.

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

Worked fine in The Terminator. Searching the the nasdaq for "Cyberdyne Systems" to add to my portfolio.

Unless we're doing away with human accountability, the responsibility to accuracy (and whatever other statutory requirements) will remain the same, it will just be concentrated among significantly fewer federal employees.

Hell yeah let’s take the largest employer in the country and significantly eliminate jobs. Great for the economic jobs report and economy as a whole. I’m sure you’ll get a check in the mail with the savings.

They still won’t pass an audit, ever.

Imagine if we had a federal jobs program for building high speed rail all across the country. sigh

How do you think OpenAI is going to become profitable? GovGPT.

Well, you are not the Pentagon.

I presume they might view their internal data being used to train a private company's training sets as a concern.

There are a solutions, like Amazon Bedrock, that allow model usage with strict data control.

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.

For every job in the private sector, there's probably someone in the DoD doing the same thing. In 2005, the tooth-to-tail ratio (combat to non-combat roles) was 1:8.1.

I'm guessing the vast majority of the AI usage is for things any typical office worker would use it for.

A military is usually a big supply chain operation with an attached small war fighting branch

How many of your tasks decide whether entire populations of human beings live or die?

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.

In AI-2027, there are many stages before superhuman AI. Military dependence on AI was one of them. This dependence creates incentive to do anything to not slow down, including ignoring any safety concerns.

I read that prediction as being about using AI for mission-critical stuff, which this isn't really.

Likely because they said Project 2027 which is something different

Did not realize there was a follow on to Project 2025, called 2027.

evokes something different/doesn't exist

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

It's not even about an uneducated population. It's about preventing research that might be inconvenient politically. Ocean sensors provide evidence of climate change and the current political agenda is to suppress evidence of climate change.

anyone knowing anything is dangerous to fascists. unmoored radicalism does not appreciate competent people.

destroying the professional class and reducing everyone to serfs has been an active ongoing never-closed plot against America that has never been snuffed out, and that is having it's day. the Business Plot people walk among us, and here, 93 years latter, they are getting the hollowing out of the state and any possible upstanding world anchored in anything good that they've worked for. these people, these people, these people.

I fully 100% agree with this, but in this case I don't think there is much consideration for the education system one way or another. I'm not saying it's not happening, I just think it's a distinct project, carried out using different methods, by different actors and agencies than what we see here.

Also trying to indebt the government so much as to prevent anything useful from being restored.

Could he have written the assembly, but used AI for the MD file? Is there harm if that is case? Because AI is good at spitting out documentation, so why not.

This shows some talent.

It saddens me when people with talent talk about 4 interview stages and still getting turned down. With no feedback? Maybe it was soft skills? What is happening in this market?

I liked how the web page loaded. Others diss it, but I think it was done on purpose as a style.

If you don't have air conditioning, your laptop is going to have problems.

In the hotter parts of summer I typically down clock/undervolt my machines to at least hold off them potentially cooking themselves a little. For most work, I don't even need a whole Ghz yet alone 3+ Ghz so it isn't a big issue.

Yes, there are safety measure built in but I just give them a helping hand.

Only the shitty ones. People in places with 40+ heat do in fact use laptops like everyone else

I have to agree. I'd like Census data to be private, but the cat is out of the bag.

I'm all for keeping all of this data private. But to think it isn't already available is a bit 'head in sand'. Maybe put laws in place for 'general' privacy across all data, before getting too inflamed about Census in particular.

Occam's Razor. This is more about a vindictive government, than the model capabilities.

And, on other side of coin, it is more great publicity.

Joking? Companies absolutely do get into arms races.

They do but they very very very don't have to. They can stop.

In reality there is basically no mechanism by which a large company (i.e. with a board) can do this so long as there is 1) significant profit motive and 2) no government intervention.
