THE PENTAGON’S PREDICTIVE AI: A GLANCE BACK
Now, before you remind me that I've already blogged about this story a few years ago, let me explain my reasons for revisiting it, via this version of it that was shared by T.M. (with our thanks). Briefly put, the recent blog I did about artificial intelligence becoming locked into chains of "thinking" that eventually lead it into complete nonsense or "model collapse" is the context for this "revisit." (Q.v. the blog
For many years I've been toying with a scenario that somewhere there exists a super-computer with a big super-computer program called the "World Options Gamer" (W.O.G.) or "World Utility Sentient Scenario" (W.U.S.S.) or some such grandiose name. The program analyzes massive amounts of statistics, and the computer generates so much heat it requires a cooling reservoir the size of Lake Erie to keep the computer from meltdown. On a regular basis, however (say every week), the computer composes and spits out its "World Homeland Analysis Matrix" (W.H.A.M.) for Amairikuh's Chief Executive Oaficer and cabinet, armoire, and the other furniture taking up space in the White Out House. On the basis of these weekly W.H.A.M.s, the chief executive oaficer and his armoire have been executing policy around the world and within the country that they themselves have not formulated. And because they have been irretrievably enstupidated (along with the rest of the country), they are no longer capable of formulating anything, including shaking a bottle of baby formula.
Something very much like this scenario I strongly suspect lurks between the lines of this now three-year-old article. Bear the W.O.G. with its weekly W.H.A.M. in mind as you read these sentences:
The US military's AI experiments are growing particularly ambitious. The Drive reports that US Northern Command recently completed a string of tests for Global Information Dominance Experiments (GIDE), a combination of AI, cloud computing and sensors that could give the Pentagon the ability to predict events "days in advance," according to Command leader General Glen VanHerck. It's not as mystical as it sounds, but it could lead to a major change in military and government operations.
The machine learning-based system observes changes in raw, real-time data that hint at possible trouble. If satellite imagery shows signs that a rival nation's submarine is preparing to leave port, for instance, the AI could flag that mobilization knowing the vessel will likely leave soon. Military analysts can take hours or even days to comb through this information — GIDE technology could send an alert within "seconds," VanHerck said.
We're "assured" that "The platform could be put into real-world use relatively soon." And its benefits are phenomenal:
The AI is looking for out-of-the-ordinary clues, such as a greater number of parked cars or aircraft. It can't say for certain what's happening — humans will still be heavily involved. Even so, the tech could be worthwhile if it prevents a 'surprise' attack or leads to negotiations instead of conflict.
Now we all know that this is where the precise danger lies. Assuming that "they" will be successful in creating this monster, who is to say that the monster will not try to lock the human analysts and decision makers out of the loop altogether, and maybe even "arrange" things to be able take matters into its own hands? We've been warned about such a scenario for years, from authors as diverse as Robert Heinlein to Isaac Asimov, and who can forget the Matthew Broderick movie from the 1980s, Wargames, where a super-computer called W.O.P.R. inside Norad's Cheyenne Mountain Complex decides to launch all of America's nuclear missiles at the Soviet Union because it's the logical thing to do (take them out before they do the same to us). I can see it now: the W.O.G. or the W.U.S.S. detects massive concentrations of Muslims in Arabia swarming around Medina and Mecca for the annual Haj, and launches swarms of drones as the Chief Executive Oaficer and his armoire are trying to find the off switch or the electrical plug.
But the real dangers are much less hypothetical and much closer to realization than one might think.
The most disturbing thing about the article is that the deployment of such an AI is simply assumed, it is necessary to be able to sort through all the massive amounts of data that "decision makers" need to see, and it's necessary because...well.... everyone else will do it. So here's the problem: that sorting algorithm is only as good as the programmers programming it. This means, like it or not, that the W.O.G. and the W.U.S.S. are theoretically open to being hacked, to nasty lines of code inserted during the construction of the program, or at a later point. But more importantly, those "sorting" algorithms will be subject to a cultural selection bias: a Chinese or an Iranian programmer will have subtle cultural influences - ones he is perhaps not even aware of - guiding the way selections are made. The problem is similar to that of the computers that review the billions of particle interactions taking place in CERN's Large Hadron Collider, because it is the computers that make the first sorting pass through billions of particle reactions to bring to the attention to the human analysts and scientists. But the sorting algorithm is based on a physics bias of what physics model the programmers of the computers had in mind when they programmed them; which model did they use? The Standard Model? Loop Quantum Gravity? Were the computers programmed to look for indicators of torsion effects? or not? And so on. And ultimately, who is to say that there is not a "secret" filter (or several such filters or sorting algorithms) designed to pull any anomalous data that those scientists and programmers wish to keep secret, and to shut that data to secret committee for analysis?
Nothing.
Thus, such "World Options Programs" are sorting programs, and consequently very powerful tools to control data flows and keep certain things from the public...and even from the secrets keepers themselves.
... and even from the analysist themselves.
Flash crashes? "fact checkers? internet censorship? You aint seen nothin' yet...
See you on the flip side...

A few days ago on The Wire a few people put together some graphs predicting something big was going on or coming, in Washington DC politics. They gathered the high amount of pizza deliveries, which meant that many office workers, interns, politicians were staying late into the evening to work on something important. They also checked the surrounding area gay bar parking lots which were usually packed but empty that night.
I doubt if Ai is programmed to look at those analytics.
Human brains already possess a much stronger and powerful counter to AI and have done since ancient times (Egyptians, Israelites, Druids, Celts). That is the Third Eye. Unfortunately, only a few know how to access and use it.
Joseph has written previously about the CIA and the Pentagon’s mind control programs ARTICHOKE and MK-ULTRA which expolited these extra sensory abilities.
Yet, Joseph has not discussed white and black magic in his books and on GDS? Is there a reason for this glaring omission?
By the way – the US Democratic Running mate – Tim Waltz has called Donald Trump and J.D. Vance WEIRD GUYS.
Do note that weird means “something supernatural, unearthly, very strange or unusual”.
Surely that is a big compliment? Hopefully Trump and Vance will work their magic!
Reality itself is a Matrix, and, to conjure up a golem, a Moloch machine, in an attempt to override reality, is an autistic hobby, for empty shells, knocking their heads against Babel.
Psychedelic means, is a traditional way, to opt out of the Matrix, and the Green Man is a common cultural trope, amongst Scythian descent, which is a signpost, for a way out.
In the 1967 Spy-Fi drama, “The Prisoner”, there is an episode, about a computer, named “The General”, that blows up into babel, when confronted, with the question “why?”
It explains, “why” I write poetry, as a means, to bypass the brain, allowing spiritual osmosis, to seep through the membrane, of puny little brains boxes.
GREEN MAN
When shape-shifting into tree,
one uses twigs to see,
to make waves
with leaves,
stirring green forest sea.
Most heavenly drunk on brewery,
is sipping cider fruit tree,
doing apple juice
by fine use,
of woodwork distillery.
Drunken trees get heat from sky,
when sunshine rides by,
and moonshine
mighty fine,
makes you wonder why.

BTW, at the outskirts of reality, the crystalline veils are wearing thin, which Star Trek encountered, when the awake dreaming caused reality, to be come unhinged – which also deprogrammes the Pinocchios.
Some questions can’t be asked, because asking them, will cause brain meltdown, when the paradox comes knocking at the door, which is exactly the point – and Harry Potter, as a nonconformist, knows that.
A letter from Harry Potter:

BTW, further, to cause a Vatican meltdown, one simply has to ask, what Yahweh-Elohim really means, because the Vatican foundation is constructed, upon the suppression of a specific word.
When one is executed, for being the “son of a specific word”, then, that word must wield significant power, and – of course – knowledge is power, and words speak ideas, that come to mind.
The bardic art of flying, on the tip of the tongue, is walking through walls, which means, that barriers are broken, between the compartmentalizations, that are known, as the seven seals.
When a single word can cause a house of cards, to come tumbling down, then it seems like magic.
AI would be an excellent cover for our elites to do a planetary murder-suicide and blame it on the stupid machines.
And that is just one if many possible stacked functions going on.
As secrecy requires operating siloes of information; each of which is,
totally unaware of other – extremely key information.
Ironically, it is the very secrecy, that is killing the sought after information.
Not to mention, those “other” programs,
none of which are known to the decision makers.
Be they ai and/or human, and their respective…
ai coders and/or human coders, which produce the [“intelligence”?].
And, that’s not to mention;
the various factions at war with each other’s ideologies.
Information, that may not even get to the Mr. BIG AI.
And that’s, probably for the better.
Because, “they” [the factions], know;
that the product IS corrupted.
Pentagon wants to reinvent astrology it appears
How does one generate interest and prepare the way for legislation to “protect the unsuspecting and gullible” from the ever increasing “threat to democracy”? (I have lost count how many there are except the main one, Trump.)

I come to believe it is all about exerting “free will” by humans. In order to do that a person has to consciously couple ego to the higher self, personhood, that “non-localized whatever you want to call it”. After that relationship is established you have to nurture it throughout your life. If you don’t do all that, one stays in the stages of “potential” in using free will. For the most part humans run on programs, including dignataries, militairy and science personnel that dream up and make all this possible. They run and behave very much like AI themselves programmed by Lucy(fiery)!
I love it when you make up these names! Despite the horror potential at the back of it all, I can laugh. Briefly, before I realise that there is no doubt that your assessment is at least 9/10ths accurate.
