*No I do not agree, especially if the Commander-In-Chief of that military
is one of the most untrustworthy bipeds that ever walked the Earth. And the
generals, the people that actually understand and use military tactics,
were perfectly happy with Anthropic, and they thought Claude was better
than GPT at military stuff, that's why they used Claude and not GPT for
both the Venezuela and Iran invasions. But POTUS, who knows absolutely
nothing about military tactics, is forcing his generals to switch to GPT
anyway even though it is inferior.*

*And I'll be damned if I can understand why the military needs Claude or
GPT or anything else the AI companies can make if they have this super
secret, super smart, super cool, James Bond comic book style AI that you
claim they have. *

*So all these super geniuses not only agreed to work for peanuts and
renounce seven or eight figure paychecks they could've received from the AI
companies, and were OK with the fact but they have far less than 1% of the
computing resources that the AI companies have to test their ideas, but
these mega minds also renounced any fame and admiration they could have
received from their colleagues for their brilliant discoveries and were
fine with remaining anonymous nobodys forever. *

*When it comes to your theory it's one absurdity on top of another
absurdity on top of another absurdity. Spike, your bullshit detector is
broken, you need it replaced immediately, very fortunately a top-secret
clearance is not required to do that.*

* > You don’t hear their names because they are not motivated by fame*.


*Not just fame, these mythical scientists are not motivated by money
either. So you are hypothesizing a bunch of anonymous super geniuses who
also happened to be utterly selfless saints that have decided to dedicate
their entire lives to one and only one thing, the manufacture of more
efficient weapons. Absurdity to the absurd power! Spike, the light on your
bullshit detector is blinking red indicating a malfunction, you need it
checked out. *
