    I’m watching a video on surveillance capitalism which has the author being interviewed. Of course, the subject revolves around predictive algorithms.
    I think their accuracy is way off base.
    At least my experience w/them is that they’re dumb as hell.
    So for me, these genius algorithms of prediction are a market feature to be sold to “believers”; not thinkers.
    I mean, the more you believe them; the more they’re manipulate you and profit from that belief[i.e., you pay google to advertise].
    Oh it’s good in specific cases[i.e., pregnancy], but more in the biological sense; than in predictive mind reading].
    IMO

    In other words, I’m not buying this story whole cloth.
    Now they can manipulate behavior; especially w/outside coordination of other in-house players
    [i.e., Facebook/Media/CIA]
    That is going on BIG TIME
    Look at the current NCAA basketball games and record misses/ 1 of of 15 three point shots(championship play?). Last night Michigan missed 8 shots in a row during the last couple of minutes?
    Now that’s awesome manipulation.
    IMO by an unseen hand.
    I’m an odds kind of guy. One or two or three; but night after night; game after game?
    Add to it; that “they” have the technology[mind control] and want a proof of concept; especially one in-your-face like a worldwide watched championship game.
    Plus, you can literally bet; and that’s a money maker!
