What really struck me was how Microsoft's big pitch for defense applications of LLMs was ... corporate slop. Just the same generic shit.
The US military has many corporate characteristics, and I'm quite sure the military has even more use cases for text that nobody wanted to write and nobody wanted to read than your average corporation. But I'd also have thought that a lying bullshit machine was an obvious bad fit for when the details matter because the enemy is trying to fucking kill you. Evidently I'm not quite up on modern military thought.
they have to, otherwise they risk interfering with something real that has real-life consequences, starting with things like not being in specification and getting reports that this shit doesn't work, breaks something mission-critical or worse yet contributed to fatal incident
