Don't tell me, tell DARPA. They seem to be interested in that sort of thing.

Any particular reason why DARPA isn't mentioned?

I am amazed this wasn't funded by DARPA.

DARPA's already put 10s of millions into #3. What do you know that they and their teams don't?https://cgc.darpa.mil/

DARPA funds work, it doesn't do it itself.

Isn't DARPA investing in this space? Seems like the kind of thing they're usually interested in.

not sure what you trying to get, but hundreds if not thousands of universities are working closely with DARPA, which is an DoD agency that sponsors mostly high-level and non-classified researches. Many of the researches have weak connections to actual military usages (there has to be _some_ connections, but many of them are pretty weak).
