The news above was released on Tuesday 15th July, and not many people know about it because it did not make international mainstream news. It is news familiar only to those who follow geopolitics, military and defense news, aside from those who are closely following and studying AI and Large Language Models (LLMs).

I felt forced to write this article as part of my VIZIER Unpublished lineup although it was not initially in the early plans, but since I did have some inkling that I would eventually be tackling issues regarding knowledge and truth in an age where AI is accesible to nearly everyone and their mothers as long as they have a cellphone, or even a smart-TV, I decided to bring forward the topic to the priority list beginning with the news I discovered just before the end of September.
