Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the rollout of GenAI.mil today in a video posted to X. To hear Hegseth tell it, the website is “the future of American warfare.” In practice, based on what we know so far from press releases and Hegseth’s posturing, GenAI.mil appears to be a custom chatbot interface for Google Gemini that can handle some forms of sensitive—but not classified—data.
Hegseth’s announcement was full of bold pronouncements about the future of killing people. These kinds of pronouncements are typical of the second Trump administration which has said it believes the rush to “win” AI is an existential threat on par with the invention of nuclear weapons during World War II.

Christians attempting to follow their favorite commandment: Thou shall kill
A truly memorable story! I remember the tale of Jesus jumping down from the cross, jumpstarting his campaign to overthrow the Roman Empire. The greatest lesson to learn from Jesus is that mercy is a weakness.
(This is based off the “The Inquisitor” universe where Christianity is openly based off of cruelty against one’s enemies)
American “Patriots” are fucking weird, man. Like… “You can’t disrespect the flag, but here’s a snot-rag with the flag on it.”
You people are nuts.
American here.
Can confirm.
Over 4 decades living in this circus sideshow and I can tell you with certainty that Americans have a serious mental health crisis. I see it all around me, all the time. Uneducated fools with no concern for the future, no critical thinking skills, and deep psychological problems.
Shoes to drag it through the dirt, undies to rub your crotch on it and if anyone shows me condoms to fuck the flag with, I won’t be the least bit surprised.
They MUST have an artificial taste, what is it?
Burger of course
I applaud you for finding what I was reluctant to even search.
I get it, it just occured to me that I’m going to be getting Star Spangled Condom pop-ups for the next month.
American here, and I was a little boy scout like 30 years ago so I actually learned some of the rules of the US flag code.
Ever since then I have constantly noticed many of the people who most need to display their patriotism also being ignorant of the official rules for showing respect to their favorite flag.
And to be clear, I don’t care about the rules surrounding the flag. It’s just amusing and/or sad to see how superficial people can be and how little effort they put into learning about anything, much less something that is core to their identity. See also: rules in the bible.
to be clear, I don’t care about the rules surrounding the flag
Oh I agree. As a Canadian we have our fair share of people who do the same weird and wacky shit with our flag. The only difference being I don’t see (most of us) idolizing the flag itself as much as our southern neighbours (proper spelling) seem to.
To me (and most Canadians…and I presume at least some Americans) it’s just a piece of cloth. Respect the country…but don’t idolize a piece of cloth…
I mean - given it has already hallucinated wrong health and safety information, plus has merrily led several people to self-terminate in their paranoia, I’d say that AI is already making America more lethal - towards itself!
Now he can put the blame for committing war crimes on the AI!
Thats most definitely a major point
His “announcement” reads like it was written by Google’s marketing department.
No, just sponsered by Google. Yeah, I wouldn’t put it past this administration to BE ads.
Shit, they did it the first time around.
What a cringey, cowardly beta cuck he is. Go back to the bar Kegsbreath.
killing innocent people when the ai hallucinates.
He seems really gung ho about America going around killing people, huh.
Prolifers in a nutshell
He’s really gung-ho about killing people. Less legality more lethality
Because he believes that the best way to get America’s way is through unspeakable murder.
Hear that Nobel Committee? Violent escalation will continue until you give Trump the Peace Prize.
i mean they gave it to the us puppet opposition leader who supports killing civilians at sea so i think they know
It’s like USA is proud of having enemies.
They’re emotionally stunted bullies who equate animosity and fear. Just like bully will assume that you’re afraid of him if you ignore him, the US thinks “If they hate us, they must fear us, therefore it means we are strongest and bestest.”
The concept of “soft power”, which is what the US used to trade on, is completely alien to these idiots. All they know about “might makes right” is to use naked displays of it and then call themselves strong
Right. It used to be that everybody knew how strong America was, and most decided that it was better to be friends than enemies.
Now we’re reaching the point that America is becoming dangerous to the rest of the world, in multiple ways, and the World is learning to avoid us. Being friends isn’t worth it, if they get caught in the crossfire, or get tossed under the bus.

I’m not going to dispute that, but America has a lot of company.
Remember how WWI started with the assassination of a minor guy nobody had heard of, but it dominoed into a conflagration that killed millions? Now imagine that domino effect starting with one small psychopathic nation getting froggy with their nuke (because what’s the fun of having if it, if you aren’t going to play with it?), and it’s on.
Like 700 typing monkeys, one day some scenario will all line up, and there’s as good a chance of this scenario as any.
You can’t be the biggest bully on the block without victims.
I mean we live in the dumbest possible timeline and I still think this sounds stupid as fuck. Imagine what me from 10-15 years ago in the less stupid timeline would have thought reading this.
Truly a clown nation.
10 years ago we were all saying “this shit is getting fucking CRAZY but it will all blow over soon, we’re better than this!”
We were not, in fact, better than this :(
Come on, 404… don’t tickle their pickle with this “secretary of war” bullshit.
Honestly, I prefer it. Sure, the method used is wrong, but the change from DoW to DoD was bullshit. What are we defending from? The US hasn’t fought a defensive war since the War of 1812. The name change was just to make it appear like a nice friendly organization your should support, rather than a bloodthirsty organization you should be wary of. It’s the department of war (or “special military operations” really) no matter what the name is. They aren’t defending us with 99.99% of their actions.
While I agree DoD was used for anything but in practice, we should still hold it to those defensive goals instead of giving in to MAGA’s wet dreams.
Too bad Americans voted otherwise.
Guarantee you that actual Americans (i.e., the ones whose ancestors were here long before this shithole country) did not vote for this. It’s the old white immigrants that voted for this.
I take your point, but I disagree with just letting it run rampant and moving on. Like the OP mentioned in their reply to you, we should hold them accountable instead of greasing the machine just because the name fits their actions better.
If the US populace wasn’t so fucked, mentally, we would be dissolving the DoD into DoHS instead of tearing apart the DoE, but here we are.
I just think that calling it the DoD was greasing the wheels of another more prevalent group. I don’t know if DoW actually greases their wheels here though. Does it actually manufacture consent like calling it the DoD does? I think they just did it, to be crude, to grease their cocks.
Google, WTF happened to your company motto?
They removed that a long time ago, for a reason
This has always been one of the more crazy “telling on ourselves” moves a company has ever done.
and that reason was being evil was a lot more profitable than not being evil
The definition of evil, for them, changed.
Don’t beevil.
Just like Israel’s Gospel, Lavander and Where’s Daddy AI models designed to maximise innocent casualties and make sure no one is to blame.
