>In-Q-Tel is the non-secret, non-profit investment arm of the CIA, which was established in 1999. A 501(c)3, the firm is not officially part of the US government (though it is largely controlled by it), and has received over $1.2 billion from US taxpayers since 2011, which it has used to make over 750 investments. In-Q-Tel’s mission is to "Be the premier partner trusted to identify, evaluate, and leverage emerging commercial technologies for the US national security community and America’s allies.”

That’s a decent AI investment portfolio. Only 8 of the 56 are in “Speech & Language AI”, and those could be useful applications of LLMs.

One of them is “Wearables / biometric sensors”. That reminds me of something recently.

My vision that is every American is wearing a wearable (electronic data collection device) within four years.

I don’t know where he got that idea. It seems like there is a push for all of us to voluntarily track ourselves more than we already do with our smart phones.

One look at the website for that biometric sensor company, , and it gets creepier.

Reach new heights of cognitive performance with the world’s first family of AI-powered neural sensors, mobile apps and wearable devices. You’ll get never-before-seen insights into your mental state, improve your decision-making, and sharpen your focus.

Their sensors track your mental state. Imagine having your mental state tracked at almost all times by some sketchy tech company who is sharing the data with the US government. They could roll out new psy‐op programs and test the results in real time.

Yeah, Its creepy as hell. I think that is exactly their intention.
