Editor's note: ...the tens of trillions of dollars, that have flowed into the U.S. government’s classified "black budget" (described as a "parallel system of finance", or a "
financial coup d'etat") where limited transparency and fraudulent accounting have left large amounts of spending difficult to trace, raising serious concerns about systemic opacity in defense and intelligence funding. A significant portion of these funds may have been directed toward the construction of extensive underground facilities (
DUMB facilities), and while this remains speculative, proponents of this view point to the scale of unaccounted spending and longstanding secrecy around classified programs as circumstantial evidence supporting this possibility.

Fun With AI #4: Trillions Into the Void - The Black Budget Black Hole That's Hiding in Plain Sight

What if the real conspiracy isn't secret plots — but the openly insane way "democracy" funnels taxpayer money into unaccountable black projects?
Just a reminder of the premise of this little series of articles: AI cannot inject its own "ideas". It can only recombine what's in existing texts through predefined language patterns. To some extent, that can provide insights that look "new" (but hey, maybe they just look new to
you because
you haven't seen them before - doesn't mean that
nobody has - the AI was trained on more texts than any of us can ever read), but it's not on the same level as what humans can come up with. There is clear limitation: the source material. Any AI output has to be based on that. Human thinking can go beyond that. So how "new" anything from AI is is basically a matter of semantics. The more important metric, IMO, is whether it's useful. And I'd say it certainly can be. Many of the answers are brilliant and capture the inner workings of the system we live in amazingly. And all explained in a clear, easily understandable way.
