DARPA’s “CARCOSA” Program: Cybersecurity or Conspiracy Theorist Catnip?

DARPA’s new “CARCOSA” program is giving conspiracy theorists online a field day. But fear not, it’s just a $40M AI cybersecurity initiative, not a secret society from HBO’s “True Detective.” Oh, the irony! #PentagonPlotTwist

Hot Take:

Someone at the Department of Defense must be binge-watching "True Detective" because the Pentagon's latest cyber initiative, CARCOSA, sounds like it's straight out of a Lovecraftian fever dream. But fear not, internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists, it's just your garden-variety AI-powered cybersecurity program, not a shadowy cult gathering. Still, one has to wonder if the name choice was a subtle nod to get us all to pay more attention to cybersecurity—or just an epic troll move by a DARPA employee with a dark sense of humor.
