Damn, even most of what we know is already a decade old information. I wouldn’t be surprised if the intelligence agencies had much more crazy new projects going on the last few years.
I also suspect there will be a point in the future where they’ll break encryption and we won’t find out until years later.. they already started looking into building a quantum computer in 2014, and I’d bet it’s not necessarily for morally acceptable research.

- Mo3 4y agoWhat I meant is, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual intelligence agencies themselves had much more crazy projects going on.
- bombcar 4y agoI suspect the intelligence agencies are still in absolute surprise that all their hard work was for nothing and everyone will happily tell Facebook, Google, et al everything with no prodding at all, and all they have to do is slurp it up.
