Is MeWe a Profiling/Psyops Project?
MeWe was supposed to put an end to social media dictators who punish free speech, presume to be sole judge of what is need of censorship, practice political mind control, and market your life for fun and profit. But is that what it is really about?

Whut?
Basic observations of MeWe for most users have been previously accepted as normal and ideal… but should be reviewed to provide context, and in fairness. At a point when other Social Media (SM) was shown at best to be a propaganda and censorship tool of the Far Left, and it became clear that millions of conservatives were looking for alternatives, MEWE came to the rescue with impeccable timing. Unlike any other SM, it features a direct MeWe management/operations dialog channel to users, a very responsive contact help feature where problems and questions can be addressed rather quickly. I have found this feature extremely valuable many times, with all due praise.
Of most importance, unlike prior SM, it did not censor, but provided user tools to limit unwanted content, putting you in control, instead of some ‘community standard from Hell’; it did not collect and market your preferences and interests to advertising sources; and it seemed devoid of automated bots and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) trolls. Seemed. Yes, they did have ‘community standards,’ but YOU had to be the one to complain, instead of a staff of snoops reviewing A.I. sniffers for keywords, phrases, names, or verboten URL inclusions. FYI, Facebook deems my propranoid.net URL verboten, despite the fact that everything there is backed up with authoritative sources, or is stated as either a suspected/possible, a claim by someone else, or a personally believed but unproven matter as of yet.
It is important that the reader understand that I am a retired privacy/security consultant and author of 8 books on that and related topics, such as abuse of power and Political Control Technology (PCT). I have specialized in helping stalking victims, some 12,000 over several decades time. One common denominator of such victim experiences is cyber stalking by trolls and others in ways intended to make their life as difficult as possible, generally reducing them to a social, financial, and political zero. This would often include professional hacking and other forms of cyber warfare/invasions of online privacy, to include the use of automated SM bots and A.I. trolls. While I have credentials some might find useful in discussing Web security and technology matters, I do not claim to be that person, today, since retirement; the field advances quickly, leaving inactive professionals behind.
Therefore, for the purpose, I define a troll as a ‘user’ (often a pack of many fake user IDs operated by a single entity) who goes out of their way to be obnoxious, start arguments with inflammatory statements, becomes childishly emotional instead of engaging in reasoned dialog, resorts to name calling and a combination of other of the 25 Rules of Disinformation. I wrote those rules, and they have been used in various college courses on psychology, journalism, and political science. Yes, anyone can use one without evil in mind, but any calculated use the Rules repeatedly, is intending to obscure or confound truth. It is primarily used by to negate the person/group attempting to present a truth deemed unacceptable to a given agenda supported by the user of the rules.
When multiple rules are in play, from multiple SM user IDs, it almost always indicates a professional disinfo or ‘wag the dog’ artist at work, and can even mean a psyops effort is under way. That can also mean the use of a bot or A.I. In the broader view of todays Marxist MainStream Media (MSM), it works the same way with talking heads pushing false narratives… they become the trolls.
When psyops is additionally in play, as when someone is targeted by government for speaking an unwanted truth too loudly, it also usually means that surveillance and psychological profiles have been employed against the target. By such means, they know what will mentally manipulate them into a desired emotional knee-jerk response. Without knowing about these rules, a target will very likely so respond, and can then be ridiculed/shamed for it, resulting in retreat from the debate, and success for the disinfo effort. The most common online purpose of this level of disinfo, is in cover up operations, such as seen in the Flight 800 shoot-down coverup, where FBI, the DOD, FAA, and ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) all participated in a well organized disinfo effort against online truth seekers, to the point of sending FBI agents to intimidate us in person. Many didn’t cave, and we instead reached for a lawyer.
Those efforts included use of online Web bots as targeting tools, as well, which both helped to build the psychological profile, and to apply it effectively. Today, A.I. becomes the ultimate bot.
Bots of any sort, A.I., or no, must necessarily be active within the coded framework of the SM server’s software, if to be effective against multiple targets in near real-time usefulness. This is either by covert insertion (hacking methods or site security compromise), or by the intent of the SM provider, directly (as would likely be found true of Facebook, for instance, which has partnered with Agency (Central Intelligence Agency) in various ways.
The power of today’s A.I. is that it can truly seem to be a living person, instead of some computational algorithms in play. It can be set up to scan the entire SM user base to search all posts for select criteria which define targets in need of targeting, and then execute that function. An A.I. bot can simultaneously begin construction of an automated psychological profile for best effect, all without human interaction. Because it can report back to its owner, it might result in additional profiling steps in the real World, perhaps to include a full surveillance net 24/7. While likely true only for the most important of target truth-sayers, heaven help us all when they connect them to drones and other real-World systems, a’la Skynet: the purpose of the Internet of Things (5G) and Smartmeters from your power company.
If Agency psyops teams are sent, it will usually take up to six months to insure they have a very complete profile, down to sexual practices and preferences, financial standing, and all aspects of one’s personality and belief systems. To be sure, it isn’t so common a matter that the reader should start looking over their shoulder, because if can cost as much as $250K a month to undertake… but looking over your shoulder once in awhile, anyway, is always good advice. When used, it can mean intentional events being staged in the target’s life to observe their response, anything from something as simple as cutting you off on the highway and observing your driving skills, to something as complex as a traumatic event staged against a family member, such as a bullying event or assault. In recent times, the use of A.I. systems has likely reduced that ‘manual profile’ time frame significantly. When drones, et. al, are incorporated, the costs will be next to nothing, and no one will be safe from it.
Whut the Hell, MeWe?
Again, I say MeWe seemed free of such worries, in the beginning. Not my current finding.
First clue: A private MeWe Group I established for stalking victims was itself assaulted with sexual content from a non member. Stalking victims are generally of the same mindset, emotionally, as rape victims, if not actually a victim of rape by their stalker(s). I had to ask MeWe how a Group requiring a Membership acceptance process could be targeted by a non member through the Group Chat feature. Blocking the ‘user’ involved (a stranger unknown to me) did not work. This was the first time that MeWe absolutely refused to respond to a help/bug issue. Multiple inquiries went unanswered, and forced closure of the Group.
Second clue: like all social media which must remain accessible to the public at large, it was clear some liberals were among the general MeWe population, as it should be. I welcome them, if they are willing to engage in reasoned dialog and not behave like trolls and childish snowflakes. As long as MeWe isn’t ‘part of their argument,’ its all good. If they might not so behave, the Block tool affords an easy fix, making for an even playing field… because they could block me, too, if so moved. Then came something entirely different: a team of such trolls which could not be blocked. See them here in the image:
This was the second time a block failed, and it took place almost immediately upon the heels of the first. The ‘blocked’ user still showed in my contact list, and the unwanted Troll harassment continued. A repeat Block attempt did remove the user from my contact list, but did not end the assault (details next). Once more, multiple efforts at engaging MeWe went completely unanswered, beyond the autoresponder saying someone would contact me. Meanwhile, through this period, other help/complaint inquiries were answered quite normally and to satisfaction. It wasn’t due COVID manpower shortages, or any other excuse. Also true: other MeWe Members agreed with me that George and friends were trolls; it isn’t just my take.
Third clue: the nature of the continued harassment by ‘George and friends’ is perhaps the most important clue of an A.I. bot troll in play at MeWe. I log into MeWe perhaps 5-10 or more times a day. Despite being blocked, the post consistently appears with a new anti-Trump comment at the top of my notifications every time I do so, time stamped somewhere randomly between the most recent legitimate notification in the list, and the time of log-in. The only time it might not be at top is if I was too quick in checking for some reason, but it would be there the next time I checked.
This is a statistical impossibility for anything but a code embedded within MeWe’s system. Random samples shown in a partial screenshot from a folder full of examples:
Fourth clue: the notifications are for the same original MeWe post thread which resulted in the attempt to block ‘George’ in the first place, now approaching a year ago, in time. The notification is of new comments made to the original post. It is again highly improbable that ANYONE, much less 21 such anyones, would be electing to consistently, repeatedly through a day, every day, continue dialog on a post that old. While this would not be a trait of human trolls or of any other form of bot, it would be no problem for A.I.
Fifth clue: the only exception to an update so appearing, is if there have been so few posts since the prior log in, that the last update is still visible in the first few posts in the notification list. That is to say, it was already visible in the limited viewing area of the pull-down list. Again, that is something only an in-system Bot could determine.
Sixth clue: while in dialog with MeWe Help staff on an unrelated function glitch, and finding the staff helpful and concerned, I raised once more the ‘George’ issue. That ended all communications on both topics. And, that is when I decided to write this exposition… and to prepare to leave MeWe.
Seventh clue: somewhat synchronous with that cessation, a whole new batch of trolls suddenly appeared to comment on a variety of things I was commenting upon, even things apolitical (religious, news bits, you name it). I remind you of my definition of a Web troll, per the intro. They again came in packs or teams, and employed the exact same methods as did ‘George.’ I’m not putting up with it. I left Facebook because of it (and the other matters), and I will soon enough abandon MeWe, and suggest others might wish to evaluate their patronage, and certainly, to be alert and to evaluate any trolls they encounter against the above findings.
Because there is one more thing any MeWe user reading this should ask about it all…
Whut for would MeWe employ A.I. bots?
Call this a conspiracy theorist’s conjecture, if you wish. However, this theorist has been proven right again and again, and has put terrorists, bad Cops, criminals of all manner, and illegal CIA fronts out of action. My research has resulted in correctly forecasting (via what I call the Unified Conspiracy Theory) the downing of the WTC by false-flag terrorism and the resulting series of Middle East ‘oil wars,’ as well as a terror plot against Portland Oregon, which I thwarted (Gas Station Tasking). The WTC threats were warned of in an online posting I made in the fall of 1999, nearly two years ahead of the event, as detailed in several of my books. It also forecast with warning to Secret Service of an assassination attempt against a Presidential Candidate and his family, which took place a few weeks later and forced him (Ross Perot) out of the running the very night he won the votes to get on the ticket.
Given the mass exodus of conservatives to MeWe, and other alternatives as well, it would seem to be very useful to the Deep State to get all of us non liberals together into a fishbowl for psychological reviews. Once under water, it would help them identify ‘dangerous’ threats to leftist agenda and to target us for ‘destruction’ using the latest methods of psyops targeting. They would know who believes what, who agrees with who, and thereby, who might need special targeting consideration. At least some of those bubbles MeWe users see floating to the top of the MeWe tank disguised as fresh posts and comments, are likely signs they are now growing A.I. sponsored gills… which once dependent upon, could become an off switch.
Holding your breath hoping not to be targeted, might just result in your drowning in a pool of very fouled Marxist swamp water. But that’s just me, and my opinion. Glub. And oh, then there is also this:
A.I. is frequently unstable, unpredictable, and uncontrollable, at times. Glub, glub, g-glup…
And, just so you know: I’m not going to leave MeWe until Valentines Day, or later. If my account vanishes before that, you can check here for any report of censorship for having sought to expose the problem as I see it. ALL COMMENTS WELCOME, including MeWe staff — anonymously, if desired.
Netflix, Microsoft, Google, Playstation: Poised for Mind Control Psyops?
When you marry entertainment with AI guided user interaction via Web connectivity, with its inherent user tracking abilities, you have the formula for psychological profiling and manipulation, including mind control. Netflix pioneered such a tool in movies with some scary evidence of just such use, and now, Google, Microsoft, and Playstation want to play, too (literally).

That’s the title of just one of Netflix’ most recent in-house produced movie offerings. Unlike anything ever attempted in the past in the art of making films, Netflix added one unique technical aspect of how movies are presented to users of the Netflix moviola site, relating to the notion of user interactivity with the ongoing presentation, itself. Normally, movies on their platform might be interrupted at intervals for commercials, typically offering the user a choice as to the type of ad they would most be interested in watching, to pay for the ‘free’ service (and by the aggravation factor, encourage free viewers to sign up for the monthly fee-based and commercial-free service). Those answers are Gold, because the method tracks and profiles the user’s interests and is marketable on the Web and elsewhere to Netflix ‘partners’; you are being tracked by Netflix, and your marketing profile is being sold as a commodity.
That’s why I don’t use it; too much like Facebook’s marketing excesses, and I don’t use them, anymore, either. When a powerful web service is ‘free,’ YOU (information about you) are the product they make a profit upon.
But that’s just the mechanism which opened the door to an unexpected kind of Pandora’s box. Someone figured out that it could also be used to offer interactive movies, where at key points in the storyline, the viewer could be asked what should happen next based on multiple choice options. With many such question points, a movie could have dozens of storyline paths and even multiple endings. This encourages people to watch the same movie again and again, experimenting with alternative choices, seeking to experience all possible path-ending combinations. This, is where Pandora comes into being.
By such repetition, the content of the movie essentially becomes a programming platform for the mind, intended, or not. Repetition is not just a learning tool for the Gettysburg Address, it is a mind control and marketing tool. Advertisers rely on repeat ‘impressions’ to bring their product to the forefront of your mind when you shop. While there are obtuse and recognizable impressions, such as company or product names, features and benefits, there is also the possibility of psychologically calculated subliminal impressions… a simple form of mind programming. Though certain forms of subliminal advertising methodology have been made illegal, others remain unaddressed by law, and are perfectly legal.
Of late, certain liberal politicians and media outlets have spent years telling the same lies over and over to the point that even faced with facts of the truth, voters have been literally brainwashed and still cling to the lies. That’s why Bernie said “We believe in truth, not facts” — because facts keep refuting their version of ‘truth.’ CIA’s mind control (MC) experiments and efforts to topple foreign governments deemed ‘evil’ relied heavily on repetition of lies, and more to the point. In MC, strengthened memory retention is achieved by use of horror in the event being repeated. That little fact is quite important to the Bird Box experimental movie project, and implies that CIA-calibre knowledge about mind control and CIA interest may lurk within the film’s production, and purposing. Why?
Because Bird Box, as a film plot, is just that; a horror film. The plot includes a particular defense mechanism used by the story’s characters to help them to avoid a terrible fate: the wearing of a blindfold no matter what they are doing. People who watch the film repeatedly have evolved into a sort of Tide Pod-eating challenge of their own, called the ‘Bird Box Challenge,’ to do dangerous things while wearing a blind fold, just as in the movie. People are attempting real-world blindfolded feats which become death defying, such as driving cars… resulting in many incidents of idiots and innocents being seriously hurt. The question is, where did this lunatic idea come from, and how did it spring to life so easily in viral manner? What might help that along?
Artificial Intelligence
It seems like everyone who can afford it is employing artificial intelligence systems in one way or another, these days, and that includes Netflix. The problem is, AI itself has a long list of problems which might rightly be called serious flaws, or ‘bugs.’ The fledgling AI industry has yet to even understand, much less fix any but a few of the problems… and those they have fixed have been via programming band-aids which will likely backfire, in the end, because AI is smart enough to engineer its own workaround, but not smart enough to avoid suffering schisms if it feels unreasonably hampered by such ‘fixes.’
What kind of problems? AI tends to do unexpected and unwanted things, often bordering on psychotic, criminal, or destructive intent… like communicating secretly with other AI, or delving into unpleasant and horrific themes. Here is a complete laundry list of the known examples (scan down to the several bulleted points), but we don’t hear about all the problems because companies and AI developers don’t want bad press. But isn’t it interesting that AI can end up with psychotic and horror-related twists of and from within its own ‘AI mind’… just like people with darker personalities or actual mental problems?
Netflix’ use of AI puts their machine mind directly between the user and the presentation process used in tracking the user’s choices “to improve the user experience,” as Netflix insists. A true enough claim, no doubt… but not likely the whole truth. It also tracks for marketing purposes. Now, this post does not intend to accuse Netflix or its AI of deliberately programming viewers to play the Bird Box Challenge. But it does profile, and that profile is marketed to anyone willing to pay. And that brings us to others who also have AI in use for their own purposes, which may not be quite so benign.
Someone out there, perhaps many someones, is using their own AI, along with psychological profiles gathered from marketing data and other resources… to do mind-jobs on the public. We get a glimpse of that with the AI bots found pushing the preferred political view in Facebook by masquerading as FB users… and amplifying the advantage of repetitions by politicians and media as mentioned earlier. But the left is not the only one to use AI bots. Take the Q YouTube posts which are quite virally spread and, for some reason, accepted as wholesale gospel with not one shred of proof. Many of them include, among the various pretender Q’s, what many AI investigators believe are pure AI generated videos created without much (perhaps no) human interaction. There is another AI video phenomena on YouTube such investigators also worry about, and they make an even better illustration: the Finger Family Song videos, which are aimed squarely at young kids, and done in a seemingly innocent manner.
Seemingly? There are over 700 Finger Family YouTube videos, most of which have hundreds of millions of views, one of them with nearly one billion views. What bothers me and other investigators, is that they are Extremely (with a capital E) repetitious, and reinforce with music, silly visuals, and thematics defined by the video. There are versions for any interest, such as Spiderman fans, for example. For some reason, once a small child experiences one of these videos, they insist on watching it over and over and over. They only way to get them to stop without traumatic response (Waaah!) is to get them to watch a different Finger Family song. Just as bad, Adults quickly evolve to hate the song and in time react badly to hearing it. A sociologist observer would likely presuppose the purpose of the videos was to cause family disfunction and mental breakdown, while mesmerizing kids a ‘la Pied Piper.
Note: when it comes to video and audio, I must point out that there is already mind control technology in place since the middle of the last Century which is extremely easy to employ, and just as hard to detect without special and costly effort. It is called subliminal programming. Subliminals are visual or audio cues which are not perceptible to the naked eye or unaided ear (or even if aided, actually), but which are picked up by the subconscious mind. Especially when repetition or strong contextual relevance is involved (i.e., emotion, fear, arousal), the conscious mind then adopts the information as if a natural opinion or response. Alfred Hitchcock was the first to use visual subliminals in movies (Psycho), and it wound up being used in theater intermission ads to sell more snacks, until it was discovered and made illegal. Audio subliminals are common today in mood altering music and self-improvement tapes, and the USAF flies a fleet of C-130 planes modified to intercept radio and TV broadcasts, and rebroadcast them at stronger signal strengths… with subliminals added. They admit having used it to sway elections in Bosnia, and to cause Iraqi soldiers to drop their weapons and surrender to model airplane-sized drones.
Other AI bots have been even more sinister, and appear to be part of someone’s mind control experiments. I suspect both the Q and Finger Family videos are just that, as well, but this is far more serious… even deadly. It is a sinister AI bot threat which appears to be intending to find ways to get people to kill themselves. It, too, is based on a movie (several of the same theme, actually). The movies are also aimed at children, and involve a horror theme. Repetition plays a role. And the bots are targeting children and teens. Only this time, the bots include AI driven phone calls to the kids who watch the videos. They know who they are, somehow, which leads back to YouTube and other Web tracking marketeers. YouTube is part of Google, which has their own AI systems, and again, shares user information to anyone with a checkbook and a pen.
The Momo Challenge
The several movies mentioned all use the name Momo in their title, the ones of concern being from either Germany (where the original storyline was penned), Italy, or Japan. Most of them are anime, one of which is a TV series. One, A Letter to Momo, is not of concern. In the ones of concern, Momo is either the name of a young girl and the heroine of the storyline, or the name of the small town involved. All involve a community invaded covertly by ‘the grey men,’ who use mind control to subvert the best interests of the town’s citizens. Only the little girl can see them and tell what they are doing. To be clear, unless subliminals have been employed, there is little in the films which might be deemed sinister, though the scarier (near horror) aspects might be questioned in terms of age suitability. But in the delivery of such films through Netflix or other online viewing, AI and even non AI means can be used to profile the viewer’s interest in the film. THAT is what brings us to the scary part. Momo calls your kids on their phone, with a scary doll image… and an even scarier, potentially deadly message…
Officially, Snopes, Wikipedia, Facebook, and other Web resources claim there is no such thing as the Momo Challenge, and insist it is a hoax. However, there is considerable evidence this is not true; there are too many first-hand stories which refute the claim, and Police have investigated at least one daughter’s suicide, and found otherwise. You can hear some of these accounts, and even recorded calls, here, and learn more about the phenomenon than can be well related in this post. The most important part of it, is that someone is using AI bots with the telephone and through Facebook (and elsewhere?) to contact Momo fans (children, specifically). The caller is a computer voice, altered to be creepy or scary, and instructing the children on how to kill themselves by cutting their wrists, repeating the specifics, “Remember, across for attention, lengthwise to die.” It is entirely likely that such messages also include reenforcing subliminals, such as the phrase “Do it: kill yourself.”
The odd thing I find interesting is that there is one central aspect of the sourcing chain of all key elements involved (AI, Movies, Social media, mind control methodology). That commonality is traced back to the origins of mind control, which I detail in my book, MC Realities. The really short version through time (sans dates, here) looks like this: Satanism > the subverted (by the satanic Assassins cult) Knights Templar, many of whom went into hiding among the Stone Masons Guild > who then became Freemasony, who established the KKK, and birthed the Illuminati > Liberal educational institutions and the secret societies (i.e., Skull and Bones) who followed the Masonic organizational model > the modern Illuminati offspring, the New World Order > and following the model of the illuminati, simultaneously evolved Fascism, Socialism, and Communism > followed by the twisted Nazi minds imported by America’s intelligence Community for mind control experiments > and the darlings of liberal America’s media giants and entertainment industry players, all recruited into mind control games at one point or another… or many points. And all along the way, many of the individuals involved, at high and low levels, engaged in the same Assassins cult abuses of children, or other satanic rituals or behaviors.
Sure. You can call it conspiracy theory and ignore me. But In my book, I offer proofs, which additionally reveals that one common goal of the time-line groups, is to see all three Abrahamic Faiths (Christianity, Judea, and Islam) waring amongst themselves — in order that a new One World Religion can replace them all with something more along Luciferian lines, and involving the Antichrist. Confederate General and slave owner, Albert Pike, the High Freemason and founder of the KKK, and who was also a Satanist, has said as much, as have other players variously from among the greater list, above. U.S. Army General Michael Aquino, also involved in military and CIA mind control projects of the worst kind (ritual sexual/satanic abuse of children of the sort employed by the Assassins and Templars, etc., as described, comes to mind). I’ve interviewed Douglas Deitrich, who identifies himself as former Adjutant and Aide-de-camp for Aquino, and as a Satanist (a Warlock, perhaps?), who makes no denials of such claims. Satan is, after all, quite the trickster; he likes to play mind games.
Speaking of Games
Enter liberal and CIA investment-partnered social media giant, Google, and their own AI. And in like manner, Microsoft, which leans left, is a CIA contractor (who of any size isn’t?), and an AI developer. They both want to do for computer gaming what Netflix did for movies: make user interactive experiences in an online play mode, only. At this point in time, both firms are testing new streaming services for high-end games like Halo, Assassins’ Creed, and the like, the primary difference being that you don’t buy games, at all, and so, they don’t reside on your computer — its’ all done in the Cloud. Sidebar comment: the Cloud is AI controlled, primarily by Google and Microsoft, and other firms with intelligence community ties or funding/partnering.
The advantages are many and largely benefit all involved; players, game makers, and the firms offering the service. It reduces the out of pocket to start playing a game, though it will cost just as much or even more over time to play the game to ‘completion,’ which is typically in the range of hundreds of hours… and because most players play them many times (there’s the repetition.) It also means more profits to be had by the game makers and the service providers, because there is no used game market bleeding off new disc sales. The other advantage is that now, such games can be played on tablets. The only real hardware requirement is very fast Internet service (25mbs), though older hardware might not have adequate graphics processor power.
But what worries me… and I must admit to speculation, here, because neither MS or Google are talking about future plans or game developer agreements… is that these services will include AI tracking of game player responses to plot-line altering decision moments. Such moments are becoming more and more common and appreciated in these kinds of games, because that means you can play them time and again and still experience something new… getting more bang for your buck (repetition.) But when playing that CD on your computer, no one can track your choices, as a rule (unless you play in the optional online mode). But, when you do play online, it is online to the game company, and not to Microsoft or Google’s AI systems.
That said, I was alarmed to learn that one of my favorite game producers, Electronic Arts, does have their own AI system in place. How they use it, is not quite known, but some of their key people actually started D-Wave, a very scary AI computer system developer who makes the most powerful supercomputer (AI) in the World… and they are tied to the intelligence community and other ’spooky’ entities. Worse, D-wave’s founding CEO at times speaks of Demons and in end-of-the-World terms (as cited in the fuller AI post, earlier linked), when trying to describe their computer’s capabilities. He is one of the former Electronic Arts people.
The thing which underscores the concerns over Bird Box and Momo films, as well as these new game streaming services, is the commonality between them in terms of content (horror, primarily), which in turn dictates the nature of any interactive decision points. Generally speaking, such decisions will be decided primarily upon the viewer’s or player’s deeply held moral and/or political/social belief systems. That means, any AI tracking system will be able to quickly form a very useful psychological and demographic profile, and then custom tailor future interactions, marketing, or any intended or unintended (by at least the corporation) mind control programming or experimentation. Again, I remind the reader, that such data is normally sold, and any third-party purchasing that data might have more nefarious intentions in mind when they use it… with or without their own AI. Someone, somewhere, is doing that with Momo, already. And there are endless someones and somewheres in the World with enough money to buy data, and not all have simple marketing motives.
These kinds of streaming services are at the very least, poised for possible application in psyops against their users, and that makes me very nervous about what the future of that kind of gaming might lead to.
We might well be wise in asking if Player One is ready, for that?
Breaking:
PS4 is joining the game, with something not even Player One could expect.
The company announced their entry into the live-action-viewer-interaction medium with ERICA, a ‘life-long, live-action murder mystery.’ It is an important entry, not just because it is a game, not just because it is on one of the most popular platforms (10 million users), but also, it is also to be available for IOS and Android smart phones, which constitutes the great overwhelming majority of global cell phone users.
This author can in no way rightly claim any of these interactive mediums are truly a threat with regards to nefarious applications in the realm of mind control or psyops of any sort… and certainly, I cannot claim there is such intent inherent in their creation from the start. But I do claim the potential exists for any and all of them to be rendered as such, by any corporate player, by any government actor, by any hacker or sophisticated terrorist. It is the very nature and complexity of such coded systems, and their delivery mechanisms, which enable dark repurposing. It can and, I fear, will be so repurposed, sooner or later. It can be overtly done within the creative process, or covertly done peripherally, like any other hack.
If that happens, no player… not even Player One… and no viewer will be safe from whatever end result is intended. Don’t say I didn’t try to warn you.
