"The news" is a broken media format, causing more harm than good. Alternatives? INTREP - A intelligence report, consisting of “context”, “assessment” & “theory”. Contains documented and verifiable information relating to all sides of an event and/or issue. Provides contextual information, both current and historical, and factual assessments that lead to a theory.
Next Generation Technology-Focused Conspiracy Theories. Real is what you believe is real. If you don't believe it, we will make you believe it. Don't worry, this memory fragment will self-destruct in 24h. Now smile.
"At the level of the collective human species unconscious, the psychokinesis is sufficient to materialize symbolic tulpoids thought forms, given a sufficient stress stimulus in large groups.. the author shows that most major UFO waves in the literature precisely fit the model."
The automation of social engineering, influence- and psychological operations, information- and cognitive warfare at scale was one of the biggest early successes of Artificial Intelligence. It was so successful, that virtually nobody talks about it publicly in detail. On the flip-side, Artificial Intelligence is rapidly bringing down the cost of conducting such operations at scale. Access to tools & methods are being democratized which creates asymmetries in the ecosystem and changes the balance of power.
Were the NSA's old and the new supercomputer buildings are located. If you ever forget your password or accidentally delete your data, don't worry. These guys can help.
China is leading the world in space launches. Since 2018 China's military space programs have ramped up exponentially- and they're now at a launch a week.
Simply put, HAARP is a large facility in Gakona, Alaska (northeast of Anchorage about half way between that city and Tok Junction) with a field of phased array radio antennae. A phased array of antennae broadcast a radio signal from each antenna in the array, but the signals coming from each are slightly out of phase with each other, and this feature allows the signal to be shaped and directed via the interference pattern that emerges when the signals mix in the atmosphere. This allows the broadcast power of HAARP - some have estimated it to be about a gigawatt - to be focused or concentrated in a specific region of the ionosphere. As such, the ionopshere can actually be lifted - creating areas of low pressure - and those areas can be moved around as the signal itself moves. In other words, one can loosely steer weather systems as well as affect their intensity. And given the magnetic coupling between this planet and the Sun, some people - myself among them - have theorized that such heaters might be capable of affecting the Sun, or other nearby planets.
A Boulevard trash headline and article? Yes, sure. Yet, it refers to a research paper written by Marcus Hutter et.al, currently at Deepmind, that is worth taking serious and carries the same basic message. Very few in the AI community have the foresight and courage to see and name the monster than is being concocted in hidden corners. Troubling how few critical voices are speaking up.
When it comes to tech relevant for the military industrial complex, revelation is a more useful term than invention. Consider Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) was likely created over 60y ago, through wetware interfaces.
