- simonw 2y agoI wonder if they have? My current intuition is that the US military / NSA etc have been just as suprised the explosion in capabilities of LLMs/transformers as everyone else. (I'm using "intuition" here as a fancy word for "dumb-ass guess".) I'd be interested to know if the NSA were running their own GPT-style models years before OpenAI started publishing their results.
- pphysch 2y agoYou don't need a LLM to do this. A dedicated image->coords model would likely perform much better, and that's old school ML at this point.
- kenjackson 2y agoThe US military probably has tons of satellite data that they can cross against an image, but not the automated reasoning. But put those two together and it really gets scary.
