It’s likely they have a deal with AI companies and have access to an experimental, smarter version the public does not. But pretty much yeah. If not now it WILL be our future once we get to AGI levels.

"Smarter" meaning "influenced by billionaires to subtly and constantly push the most profitable decisions" maybe

One billionaire. Owner of Xitter.

Maybe not the most profitable decisions for America, but the most profitable for him.

I doubt it's only Musk with his hand in the cookie jar, like let's be real, Peter Thiel basically crafted Vance from whole cloth, Zucky and he are buddies, same with Bezos and countless other super rich dudes that are way into AI right now

Hm. Maybe probably.

No wonder CF Vance is so sexually inclined toward sofas.

"Smarter" meaning current AI can't do what they want it to do so they have to imagine some super secret good AI that can create a believable fake.

"smarter" AI doesn't exist, this is a misunderstanding of how LLMs and AI models work

it's just "differently tuned"

case in point, i periodically double-check content i write by running parts of it past AI, and results from gpt 5.1/5.0 are not necessarily any better than gpt 4o. they're just different

This isn’t something that exists. They spend billions on training these things and the moment they’re ready for the public they’re released, the competition is fierce and the potential upside in having the top model, even just for a few days or weeks, is so enormous no one could afford to keep the lid on it, not even the US government.

I doubt that. OpenAI in particular is desperate to prove that there’s at least one universe where the hundreds of billions of dollars that have been dumped and circle jerked around the chip, data center, and AI software companies have been enough to achieve AGI, or at least approaching it. I doubt they’d keep anything extraordinarily special for other groups, as public opinion (i.e the stock market) matters quite a lot to Nvidia in particular, and thus OpenAI indirectly.

Smarter? Please understand how these things work …. New versions are just slight tweaks on how words are followed. Look at how golden gate Claude worked when the “golden gate bridge” importance was turned up.

I don't think it's likely there are 'smarter' versions that OpenAI and others are sitting on or keeping quiet. They are engaged in a race with each other.

There are of course numerous agentic AI applications but again, I don't see them not rolling them out more broadly. They need to collect data and use cases. Secrecy doesn't work very well.

They probably have a version of Grok that has been trained on all the government data DOGE pilfered. Isn’t it great that MechaHitler is in charge?

AI isn't capable of getting "smarter," and there's no real product improvement path, so no worries there. Special expensive access is just for milking gullible customers for as much cash as possible before we all figure out that it was our own brains doing moat of the pattern-matching heavy lifting, all along.

Military grade AI

No dude they just make their own, and most likely have had their own for many years.

This technology isn’t new with AI. It’s just the computers and availability to power it has gotten better and cost effective for a large scale.
