That said, like we've been saying for a while now, disclosure is almost assuredly never going to happen willingly or unforced. It's going to take some whistleblower - or a group of whistleblowers - leaking something undeniable that finally forces the hand of the supposed gatekeepers.
Based on the AI videos I've seen recently, we're probably past the point of something leaking that is "undeniable". At least in audio / visual format.
It's gonna need to be physical.
I think if enough whistleblowers come forward, together, who can each verify their legitimacy/positions beyond a shadow of a doubt, and between them release corroborating video, imagery, and paperwork, there really wouldn't be much of a question. Granted, yes, no matter what there will be those who doubt them, but most people aren't going to believe that a group of highly credible individuals, with verifiable military/government positions/ties, whose reputations are on the line, etc, would engage in an easy-to-debunk stunt of creating some AI videos/images for 15 minutes of fame. Especially after a massive hearing, where they're able to provide additional context, answer questions, prove their bonafides, etc.
That said, I do agree the sooner the better. I still don't think AI is "there" yet, especially when it comes to video (even Sora), but in a couple of years it likely will be.
However, in the end, for EVERYONE to be convinced, yes, it's going to take actual, physical evidence. I just think whistleblowers + video/imagery is a crucial step to eventually getting that physical evidence.
