Maybe the Pentagon can insert it into NORAD. Then we could re name it to "War Operation Plan Response" or just whopper for short. *So sorry for the reference that only old people will get.

But WOPR learned that there are no winners in a nuclear war. I fear this thing will “learn” the opposite.

I'm not even sure about how they could begin to integrate something like this into NORAD. The whole operation's pretty well sealed up in terms of classification, but what I understand is that it's built like a Cold War brick shithouse, even without considering it having been built into a mountain lol It stands to reason that they've been throwing money at it to modernize the analog systems, but I couldn't even speculate about how far along it is or how Grok could be integrated without compromising its integrity. Only time will tell, but it's good enough for a joke as it stands now, I guess.

Whopper would suit it well, both for the scale of the bullshit involved, and the cost.
