US government launches the America.gov AI chatbot
What happened
The US government launched the America.gov AI chatbot this Tuesday, with Google and SpaceXAI participating in its development. Trump said 20-year-old programmer Edward Coristine was one of the project's lead engineers. According to TechCrunch, the chatbot is currently difficult to jailbreak. When asked about Minecraft, it produces a monologue of around 1,800 words, actually an Easter egg adapting Julian Gough's End Poem, which appears after completing the game, rather than a model hallucination.
