The military’s track record of developing classified technology decades: The Hidden AGI
- The military’s track record of developing classified technology decades before public release suggests AGI may already exist.

OpenAI’s top executive has toured Washington, D.C., this week, ahead of President Trump’s America AI Action Plan.
Every AI firm need the support of the U.S. government, including OpenAI. They want infrastructure investments, fewer regulations, and protection from China.
In the process, Altman made several exciting comments about the arrival of GPT-5 in ChatGPT. “I am very interested in what it means to give everybody on Earth like a free copy of GPT-5 running for them all the time,” Altman said at the Federal
