Not sure how I missed this thread, but this subject is very important for today's netizens to understand.
When the Internet was created, computers were basically glorified pocket calculators running operations at a few dozen megahertz (a few dozen million calculations per second... impressive but barely just enough to maintain an Internet connection and render a graphical-user-interface.) Today's computers are, in effect, a million[1] times more powerful.
In addition, recent changes in Deep Learning allow computers to perform tasks formerly considered the exclusive domain of biological neural-nets -- image-recognition, automatic translation, speech-to-text transcription, automatic decision-making (as in HFT or computerized chess), and many more. This advancement is not the result of more transistors or faster chips but, rather, of using existing computing technologies in a manner that is more conducive to performing messy, real-world tasks. The net effect is that the power of the technocracy has been amplified by a factor in the millions or billions.
But one layer of the technocracy that often gets overlooked is the sweatshop layer (click-farms, bot-farms, troll-farms, info-warfare, etc.) This layer sits between the globalist command-and-control, and the Deep Learning systems. An AI bot does not need to "understand" each reply to every thread of every targeted social media platform. Rather, it is a complex interchange between human operators and their AI assistants that is creating this digital abomination. People who are interested in learning more about how this all works should watch the following video...
In this talk, Luis von Ahn asks, "If we can put a man on the moon by coordinating 100,000 people, what can we achieve by coordinating 100 million people?" Let me suggest that the goal of the New Manhattan Project that the globalists are building is this: to exhaustively map the human psyche -- both individually and collectively -- for the purposes of total control and, eventually, extermination (or, at least, non-reproduction which is genetic extermination).
With a big enough (artificial) neural net and enough training data, it should be possible to predict the movements and behavior of a rat in a maze over very long sequences of time. Essentially, the neural net would contain within itself a working model of the rat's brain, so the "Rat Overmind" would already know what the rat in the maze is going to do, even before the rat itself does. Current estimates suggest that commercially available Deep Learning systems are already operating at this level for organisms as complex as a honeybee. We still have several years to go until such Deep Learning systems will be able to achieve the scale of a rat's brain. What happens when you scale that up to a human brain? Thousands or millions of human brains? This is the abomination they want to create in order to reduce the entire human population to a predictable clockwork of rats in a giant maze. From there, total control will simply be a matter of plugging in the desired outcome (say, "500 million global population") and then sending the simulator off to calculate the policy measures that will bring about that desired outcome.
Existing digital technology can already achieve more than what you probably realize. And when Deep Learning is harnessed together with human bots to create a kind of cyborg system or
mechanical Turk, the net result is amplified that many more times. Considerations like this have led some people to posit what is being called the "Dead Internet Theory". I don't (completely) believe that theory, but I think that it's probably a good deal more true than most of us would be comfortable contemplating...
[1] - They are not running a million times as fast, but when you multiply the frequencies by the numbers of transistors in today's chips, the total improvement factors are easily a million, or more.
