The Algorithm first tested by Cambridge Analytica and Palantir with Peter Thiel and Collegues, to see if they could manipulate the emotions of Facebook users (they could).
He went on to develop people-targetting data systems so the FBI and CIA could locate and track people around the world by their demographics, internet footprint and data.
Thiel then did the same for MOSSAD, eventually taking over at MOSSAD’s R&D company Carbyne (after Thiel’s friend Epstein died in Prison).
That’s how the Algorithm got started, developed, and was used, now most big tech companies have their own versions of it.
Words are cheap; actions matter. Judging by behavior and not rhetoric goes a long way to a more realistic perspective of the world.
aka information silos
It’s a real problem. And the scary part is that if somone told you that most of the info you see everyday was lacking, manipulated or flat out lies, would you believe them or double down?
I’m wrong all the time. Anyone who never admits to being wrong is an idiot. That’s a person that never learns anything. I just want solid proof.
Although it would take a metric fuck ton of proof to believe that conservatives are anything but parasite and idiots, because I’ve witnessed soooo much greed and ignorance first hand.
But there are definitely things that I’ve been manipulated into believing that aren’t true. Police are good. Anything with the recycling logo will get recycled if I put it in the right bin. Roundabouts are stupid.
I try my best to learn from my mistakes, and to be wary of propaganda and gossip disguised as facts that I want to believe.
Double down, I trust you guys to tell me what’s really going on
unfortunately, i can only prove that which has been put before my eyes and/or what has been testified and corroborated to by multiple sources. everything else is faith without extensive documentation which can conveniently be done away with by royal decree, apparently
Successful interest-based curation will always lead to information silos of conformation bias.
I find that less tech-minded people really respond to the way it’s described in the Netflix special “A Social Dilemma.” It’s a very accessible documentary that you can recommend to your Facebook recipe loving grandma or your tinfoil hat wearing uncle.
