The US Defense Department’s first direct partnership with Open AI fuels concerns over militarized technology– especially as similar systems have already been used to facilitate Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
On Monday, June 16, the United States Department of Defense signed a $200 million contract with OpenAI to deploy generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) for military use, despite the company’s previous commitments not to develop AI tools for warfare.
According to the Pentagon, OpenAI—the US-based creator of ChatGPT—will “develop prototype frontier AI capabilities to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains.”
Under this cooperation, OpenAI plans to demonstrate how advanced AI can enhance administrative functions, such as healthcare for military service members and cyber defense.
More reason to use others like deepseek and claude, etc.

Very disappointing, thank you for pointing this out
If you can, self-host your LLM’s in something like LM Studio (requires a pretty good GPU though)
