Describing a social network directed by digital GAN - Generative Adversarial Network! Be interesting to see this in action. I’m torn on whether we will get a real AI. I think intelligence is deeper than the data the models are eating. A highly sophisticated computer agent built for a specific task - that I see.
A sufficiently motivated actor could convince mediocre reputation accounts to poison or boost a story very subtly. Imagine havoc of a bot net riding off real credentials. Things teenagers would do without a fare.
I think of it like assembling creatures out of parts. Lots of different patterns for lots of different actions. The goal probably is to make really generalizable parts in the near to mid term. I have additional thoughts on how to make it general in the sense that we are general and reduce data consumption (which I think intrinsically increases the time it takes such a model to learn) but I on purpose don’t write those down and they are also kind of crazy even to me.
I can see adjudicating software agents amplifying/downplaying reputable info. Hilariously, this would be a great application of blockchain - bookkeeping reputable vs garbage information chunks for an issue or event. Ironically, wouldn’t conspiracy fans give more credence to lower reputation info sources since it’s “intentionally suppressed?”
I do think end-state puts all of this on a blockchain because it’s infrequent and lower bandwidth updates but also would put it in a spot where even the CIA couldn’t hack it to push disinformation.
The conspiracy theory stuff I go back and forth on. I love conspiracy theories because they are fun but I also know that people used to generally speaking trust the news. I think once the Index revealed a few conspiracies as being actually true and people saw how their own information was up-regulated (in its end-state the Index is scored by category, so you could be wrong about all kinds of other stuff but the stuff you’re right about is scored independently) I think that over time it would do a lot to bring back the public trust.
I finally told my wife about this. I don’t think she fully understood it but I’m hoping in a few months when I have some time to set up in the garage that I can make a few videos. I’ve been spying on a few twitter PM’s and Sriram to figure out who to bombard with the message. Now here’s hoping I don’t get fired from my irl job for sounding like a nut job.

Am babbling. Likely sleep drunk.

Would you consider using blocks of scrap wood with googly eyes and pipe cleaners in your videos instead of your face? Worried about opsec.
Most of my opsec is being boring and uncharismatic.
