The bros over at the Pentagon are now integrating Elon Musk's Grok AI into their systems to "feed it as much of the military's data as possible". This is the same AI that is producing deepfake porn images of woman and underage girls. Hypermasculinity is destroying this entire planet.
Pentagon is embracing Musk's Grok AI chatbot as it draws global outcry
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google’s AI engine inside the Pentagon network.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Trump is delusional about Venezuelan oil
Trump is banking on Venezuela’s vast oil reserves to justify US intervention. But the state of the industry, global energy shifts and basic economics point to failure.
