Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A Department of Defense official told Newsweek that the prompt referred to a "Weekly Action Report" (WAR), a standard document used throughout the department to summarize weekly accomplishments.

And if you look at the screenshot, sure enough, right above it there's a Word doc named WAR (10JUL - 17JUL).docx. So yeah that's exactly what this was. Fuck you, Newsweek.

The official said the image showed a warfighter using GenAI.mil to create an agent for generating the report.

Is warfighter like the woke way to say soldier?

It's the anti-woke way to say soldier. Apparently warrior isn't good enough either. They're truly the dumbest people.

Unfortunately, it was chosen to be published so, and not an accident, I believe. We may see the access card is specially pixelated by someone, but nothing else seems altered, so all the images were explicitly and thoughtfully chosen to be published as they are, including the sorrowful prompt message...

Oh, thanks. The source the article appears to be missing!

That model's face of disgust, the laptop in front of a perfectly fine desktop, the AI-ism at the end of the prompt... It's all perfect!

I'd accept incompetence as an excuse. I'd also believe the person blurring the licence would've felt really smart in doing so. Brandon Mizuhara is going to have a bad time.

That's not a license, it's a Common Access Card.

Haha of course it is. That'll serve me for commenting with half of my brain.
