That's not how military intellectual property works. I don't doubt your technical credentials, but I think you lack deeper insight to what the military does, and has done.
>That's not how military intellectual property works.
So your implication is that the military is full of unnamed linear algebra, systems engineering, and linguistics super geniuses and these people never leave, never talk about their work publicly, never publish anything ever, and they're all cool with their huge innovations being kept away from the public forever? All because military IP regulation?
And none of these effective state prisoners ever defect to China (where they could live like royalty) because...
If that is your angle, I very much agree it's possible some deep black project exists that (once) looked into this. In the UFO lore, there are many stories about these advances (tr3b etc).
But all of it is orthogonal to LLMs though. Picking one exceptional area that the military is great at (aerospace) does not suddenly make the military exceptional in other areas like AI.
See above video, even code breaking machines are kept a dark secret. LLM's that could make analytical decisions about war and strategy, must have started with the military first. It explains its massive data gathering operations in the 2000's. And it explains why some countries separation to make their own internet, away from what really is the US-Owned World Wide Web.
U.S. military has engaged in the commercialization of top-secret technologies (after it's considered obsolete by military standards), often by collaborating with private companies or research institutions.
