I'm very curious what will be found when the .@FBI/.@NSAGov overlay the data seized from Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, et al & overlay it on everything else.

Mass shootings. #Cryptocurrency bribery patterns. Media subversion.

Evolutionary algorithms take a multitude of programs and throw them at the same problem. You eliminate the ones that fail & mix together those that succeed.

But you can also do that with people & the stimulus directed at them.
.@FBI/.@NSAGov

But if you have access to medical/psychological records & target accordingly, you have a target set whose mental landscape & even psychological triggers have been elaborately mapped out.

& if you consider *people* as disposable as your programs, you can test.
.@FBI/.@NSAGov

If you already have "psychographic profiles" for, say, a couple hundred million Americans you're actively influencing, you can isolate the groups you want.

Some for initial, non-critical tests, some for operations, some as controls.

Because you can test reactions to stimuli directly - shares & various emotional responses on Facebook, comments on posts, etc - & can microtarget & control feeds going to individuals via Facebook - you can find the most effective stimuli to run.

Once everyone is mapped out and your human "bombs" are primed, you use them as you wish.

What I didn't mention when very vaguely alluding to such things in 2011?

You lay down incredible amounts of evidence to all manner of horrendous crimes.

If any companies such as Facebook or Cambridge Analytica prove to be involved in such activities, their records would serve as evidence and to a large degree the crime itself, frozen in amber.

I have some thoughts on countering these efforts on a large scale.

Some of it involves vastly increased processing power - I believe I have the means to create 3D chips, quantum supercomputing & something else that would get us to post-zetascale supercomputing.

But obviously, right now only the worst would be apt to use it.

I had some plans for evolutionary algorithms as well, and have remained silent largely because I feared we would be opening the door to the above possibilities. And worse.

So again, I will remain silent for now.
