I get it I get it. Let me peel back the curtain a bit more for you. Technical marketing works primarily through flattery and manipulation of non-technical people. Non-technical people think that by reading an article about some aspect of tech, they're "in" with higher IQ people a standard deviation or more above the average. Once they believe this, they're easily manipulated into giving the company about which the article is written money.
All mainstream technical journalism is marketing paid-for by tech companies behind the scenes.
I don't have time to go into all the CIA failures over the past decades to prove its ineptitude and likely the ineptitude of any of its contractors. I will say that while we may have used this tech to find Bin Laden, we've lost the war against his organization and the Taliban. We have all the tech; they have all the time.
EDIT: lol at that second article. The AI scam has come and gone every decade since Shannon invented information theory, confirming my points above. AI winter is upon us again:
