        The feds creating novel solutions (as of the time of posting) to one of the big problems of computer science to create online furry drama seems unlikely to me

        Beyond just the furry drama it still seems highly unlikely the feds had/have exclusive AI tech that can generate pictures of new, realistic human faces when there have been conventional image editing techniques to do the same for decades now at much, much less cost than AI

        This kind of thing isn’t unheard of but it’s usually exclusive to things like… cryptography (like the NSA figuring out differential cryptanalysis before anyone else) where there is no substitute for having this advantage regardless of cost

          Well feds created the internet and try to propose changes to FOSS so it’s not out the realm of possibility. But it’s unlikely they’re infiltrating the furry community, and if they are, they’re lying to their boss about the reason.
