We've been told that new tech will start to emerge pretty quickly over the next few years.

How it'll happen is as follows: instead of big press releases and huge announcements from officials, we're going to see some literal who shyly and quietly speak to one reporter or news org about how they came up with this new device and how it could hopefully save a lot of lives or something. They'll then slowly roll out more commercial variations of the product, making it look like the Alpha had just simply been reworked slowly by a consensus of people who simply want to improve the technology. Then, suddenly after a few years we'll see a well refined version that will more closely resemble the black budget devices we have now.

Yep, that's why I posted this.

The "oh btw no big deal we cracked a monumental problem" announcements will be everywhere. Like the zero press coverage of the storage container sized nuclear fusion reactors. We haven't figured out fusion, but we might have micro-fusion figured out.
