Does anyone have any idea what the DoD could possibly want from OpenAI? Less accurate/more sycophantic missiles?

Yeah, tons. SIGNT / HUMINT analysis. After action report summaries. war gaming to optimize deterrence. human machine teaming. LLM-in-the-loop for warfighters. rapid code gen in field deployments for units to spin up software solutions. The list is endless, imho.

I would guess it’s for mass surveillance. Even just the ability to extract names and entities from audio, video, and text on every piece of public media would be useful.

Let's hope before they wire it directly to the controls "because speed" they've trained it on Stanislav Petrov up down and backwards..

I don’t understand but that sounds funny

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov

> On 26 September 1983, three weeks after the Soviet military had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to four more. Petrov judged the reports to be a false alarm.
