And ALL the top minds in the field of AI are known and accounted for, and they ALL work for AI companies, and NONE of them work for the military. And to make a new cutting edge AI model you not only need a gaggle of brilliant scientists with boiling water IQs, you also need tens of billions of dollars worth of computing power to teach your AI, and if the military was doing that there's no way in hell that could be kept secret.

The military is seldom at the cutting edge of technology, my new iPhone is more advanced than any of the electronics in a F-22 fighter jet.

John, you seem very sure of yourself.  Do you have a clearance?  What level please?  Do you know what goes on in the pentagon?  From reading your comments, I must assume you do.

 

Do you know what the US Space Force is, and what it does?  Do you know what technology it has?  Do elaborate please.  Inquiring minds want to know.
