US Special Operations Command Will Deploy Argus AI Program to Scour Social Media for Disinformation, Misinformation and Malinformation, National Security Authority to Protect U.S. Internet from “Pain Points”

Annnd… Here we go. If you have not read the background {Go Deep}, you will not have the appropriate context to absorb the latest revelation about how the Dept of Defense will now conduct online monitoring operations, using enhanced AI to protect the U.S. internet from “disinformation” under the auspices of national security.

Gee, who would have predicted that U.S. internet operations would suddenly have a totally new set of enhanced AI guardians at the gateways? 👀

Read Carefully – Eyes Wide Open:

The US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has contracted New York-based Accrete AI to deploy software that detects “real time” disinformation threats on social media.

The company’s Argus anomaly detection AI software analyzes social media data, accurately capturing “emerging narratives” and generating intelligence reports for military forces to speedily neutralize disinformation threats.

“Synthetic media, including AI-generated viral narratives, deep fakes, and other harmful social media-based applications of AI, pose a serious threat to US national security and civil society,” Accrete founder and CEO Prashant Bhuyan said.

“Social media is widely recognized as an unregulated environment where adversaries routinely exploit reasoning vulnerabilities and manipulate behavior through the intentional spread of disinformation.

“USSOCOM is at the tip of the spear in recognizing the critical need to identify and analytically predict social media narratives at an embryonic stage before those narratives evolve and gain traction. Accrete is proud to support USSOCOM’s mission.”

But wait… It gets worse!

Our poor military is already falling in both self and public respect. Leave it to the left to order to point the nose straight down and light the burners. I actively discourage any and everyone to avoid the pile of shi...er...Dorkbamastuff that our military has become.
As for the generals, well, hopefully Bastille USA will take care of them.

Well of course. They’re just getting ready for the elections 15 months early.

The implementation by governments of Orwell’s “1984” is astounding. Especially here.

Bloat.

AI only knows what it has received as input. How does it detect if the input is true or false?
The most common falsity is statements of fact about the future. Nobody knows the future.

Will it consistently label false statements about the future?

Will it state as fact events under dispute? For example some say the Jan 6 people were execising their freedom of speech. A couple engaged in vandalism. But there was no treason. No insurrection. Until a jury declares that they engaged in felonies they did not and no felony occurred.

Will AI respect the process? Or will it destroy the process in the act of saying the protestors destroyed the process?

We know that the justice system makes mistakes. Some objectively innocent people are found guilty. Will AI see the truth as the facts? Or as the decision of the system?

Thought Police Alert!

And why not?
Is there any slightest indication that the American people would either stop, seriously attempt to stop, or raise hell in the streets about this?

When the Japanese created the world's first Thought Police in the 1800s, little did they know that it would become a world-dominant concept and mainstay of every tyrannical government since...

Our communist masters are living large and in total control...
This is just the bare-bones beginning...

If generations of Americans, educated by government indoctrination schools, ever realize how bad things are, they will band together, once again, on Lexington Green or at Concord Bridge and chant:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

True. They fracture and run away faster than King Arthur in Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

Dems stick together like glue. Notice how not even ONE bails on Biden even with proven corruption.

And since the Left owns the fact checker community, good

For tyrants there is only obedience and repeating dictated narratives and talking points.

Everything else is “hate speech”, “disinformation” etc etc etc.

The US govt. lies to you and doesn’t want you to be able to find the truth.

This is what tyranny looks like.

“I will know AI has become sentient when it becomes conservative.”

I will know AI has become sentient when it spews racist dogma that would make the Klan blush....
