Your daily dose of dystopia...
Google's thought experiment of the "Selfish Ledger."
Understanding the user so completely as to change the behavior of that user, then applying that at scale to change the behavior of entire populations.

@tinker So, is it time for the #ButlerianJihad or what?
@starbreaker - That’ll only happen when AI turns on it’s creators and developers. As long as that control remains no Butlerian Jihad will happen.
AI in this sense provides soma to the masses. More “Brave New World” complicity than “1984” beatdown.
@tinker @starbreaker The Silicon Valley technorati are a class of ideological Sardukar, to continue the Dune allusion. The California Ideology is basically the same indoctrination of heroic fluff needed by any regime to maintain control of jannisary classes. But eventually the owners will allow the AI to obsolete the creators/devs when they can be sure of direct turn-key control. Unless the boffins end their traditional complicity, their future is no better.
