Comment on The government probably has super advanced AI at this very moment that we won't see for decades

First commercial satellite phones were developed in '98, based on satellite phone technology Lyndon Johnson used publicly in '63, meaning that the tech had already been tested and was working for who knows how long privately.

Pretty amazing that was also ~35 years before average people had access to mobile phone service.

Yea, it’s an insane fact. Darpa has a list on their website where you can see a whole bunch of dates for now disclosed technology that they developed way before it was commercially available, and obviously that’s only the things that darpa is allowed to share.
