Yup this is one of the reasons why when I see people talk about how it can't do this or that I am shocked by the blinders people have. Specially people working in science fields. There are millions of very smart people with access to a lot of data that previously that they might not have been able to use but now they will be able to. I can't read the millions of science papers published over the years but the kinds of AI/language models that have started to crop up can. I predict a lot of different scientific fields not just medical will have sea change as more people start realising what kind of tool these language models are and how they can be used.

I call it denial. Given GPT4, I am terrified of what three letter agencies have available today.
Do you think the 3 letter agencies have better AI or just similar LLMs aimed at inteligence purposes ?
Definitely. One of the most incredible things about LLMs is that you don't need to design an API to get it to execute stuff, you don't need to normalize and scour through data, you can just ask it to retrieve it and export it in the format that you want.

If compute is not an issue, then the sky's the limit.

I will actually go one further, they have AGI or near AGI.

Easy guess. Yes, they do. It's their duty to be ahead in the information-gathering field. I trust their brand reputation, more than I do for Nike or Apple. Remember how they rung bells more than 3 months before Ukraine's invasion. Also, I think that there more agencies in the know, not only the 3 letters.
