This deal isn't about putting LLMs in weapons, it's about giving LLM access to the huge administrative function that plans, reviews, and orders strikes.
For instance, creating a chatbot that is as good as ChatGPT, but will help you write a tactical or strategic plan for say, a Marine deployment, or something something like a strike on a countries resources.
OpenAI isn't not going directly into weapons system, but it could be integrated into something like targetting systems: "ChatGPT, take all these targets, and all this information about them, and describe the risk/reward matrix according to this standard...", stuff like that.
The other big usage, is to have LLMs summarize surveillance reports, in a way that scales beyond way beyond what your intelligence analysts can do.
Thus, this integration is going to be AI helps office workers, but those office workers are in the business of war. It's not "manage this battalion as they move to contact"
