    As we all know, Hitler was a brilliant mind regarding military matters. Mecha Hitler can only improve on that!

    /S. Seriously, the bastard wasn’t competent at military affairs. Thankfully. Here’s hoping that Grok guides Musk and company into the grave.

      Fun fact: Hitler’s actual plan when he invaded Poland was to reproduce the trench war stalemate of WWI on the Western front. He knew that in that war, about 2.5 million German soldiers had been able to stymie more than 4 million French and British troops while the remainder of the German army pillaged Russian territories. This is why during the Winter of '39/'40 he devoted almost half of German productive capacity to making artillery shells that mostly ended up not being used until the later invasion of the USSR. His biggest success of the war was the blitzkrieg of France, and it was absolute blind luck (mixed with French ineptitude and lack of preparation) that it ended up going the way it did.

        One can rather say that the French too prepared for Germans trying to

        reproduce the trench war stalemate of WWI on the Western front

        , except when it became visible that they are not putting all their effort into that, it also became imperative for Germans to act offensively. They couldn’t afford a long standoff without France actually bleeding.

        And here it became apparent that French politicians were not prepared for France actually bleeding at all.

      Hitler was so fucking inept that many military projects had to be kept hidden from him in order to stop his meddling. Even some weapon systems such as the StG. 44 (world’s first operational assault rifle) was once called the MP-44 in order to sell it to Hitler as a submachine gun since his parkinson’s riddled mind would not comprehend how revolutionary the new rifle was.

    Oh I can’t wait until 7 astronauts explode because fucking Grok told the construction team not to bother with the O-rings.

    People will no longer laugh at the term “military intelligence” for the obvious irony. Now, they’ll say “remember when the military tried to use artificial intelligence? ha ha what a disaster”
