Das Pentagon wird Musk's AI-Chatbot Grok für strategische und interne Entscheidungen einsetzen, explizit weil selbsternannter Kriegsminister Pete Hegseth eine KI möchte welche nicht woke ist und bereit ist Kriege zu führen.
Der Verteidigungsminister sagte, er wolle verantwortungsvolle KI im Pentagon. Zugleich winkte er Modelle ab, „die Kriegsführung nicht zulassen“.
Seine Vision bedeutet, dass militärische KI „ohne ideologische Einschränkungen arbeitet, die rechtmäßig…

„Schon bald laufen die führenden KI-Modelle auf allen Netzen des Ministeriums, offen wie geheim“, sagte US-Verteidigungsminister Pete Hegseth. Er sprach bei SpaceX, Musks Raumfahrtfirma.

ESA’s space probe #JUICE is headed towards a truly unexpected encounter: on November 2nd, observations of interstellar object #3IATLAS will begin. Read more about contributions from #mpsgoettingen

Simultaneously NASA and ESA have published new spacecraft images of #3IATLAS, https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/3iatlas/2025/12/04/nasas-hubble-space-telescope-revisits-interstellar-comet/ from the Hubble Space Telescope on 30 November (just the inner coma with a central condensation) and https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2025/12/Comet_3I_ATLAS_shows_activity_in_Juice_navigation_camera_teaser from Juice's NavCam on 2 November with an early sighting of the plasma tail - more contributions to understanding the behavior of the interstellar visitor.

SOOLIN: Just like that.
AVON: More or less. He is strongly identified with rebels, you see, and very popular with rabbles. They will follow him, and he will fight to the last drop of their blood. [smiles] Idealism is a wonderful thing. All you really need is someone rational to put it to proper use.

It's also interesting that we're only tangentially making the connection between shit social media and fascism. What we are not saying is that control of social space *is* a form of governance. Humans have the right to free social spaces, both physical and digital.
When we think about social media as a system of control, as a government, we see that capitalist social media results in incredibly abusive dictatorships. These dictatorships exist solely to exploit their citizens, extracting both labor and attention, for the gain of a few. They manipulate their citizens to keep them locked in. It's not a coincidence that these systems algorithmically promote fascist ideology. They are themselves a type of fascist government that pushes fascism into the physical space.
