The fact that an organization with the budget and security requirements of the U.S. Military wouldn't develop on-premise AI demonstrates just how much grift exists in the military industrial complex.

Why develop your own when a perfectly functioning option exists? This is why the military uses PlayStation controllers for robots; cheap to replace and minimal training needed.

Because PlayStation controllers aren't a service and are easily replaced. Bit harder to do with LLMs.
