Natural languages like English, they are essentially UI’s, and are the output of abstracted languages. And you know this is being sold now by the likes of companies such as Google as a form of advertising, to convince people – an innocuous example would be to instill a favoritism of one brand of ice cream over another. Fixed attention indoctrination systems also instill a sort of API to be utilized later. The “central planners” have established a much more sophisticated multi-level multi-transport-layer approach over the years. It may be modellable as a hierarchical neural-network... we can make assumptions about the limitations of their capabilities. Counterprogramming any insidious programming would require superior sophistication since the hard resources aren’t available so a counter model would need to balance the general intelligence resource component vectors necessarily. A comical component of the internet propaganda is fact-checkers 😊 One must come to terms though with the fact that human minds are mostly owned as a domain and effective encroachments may be discouraged since there are comprehensive plans underway. Although there may be, as a weak analogy, how the FCC licenses frequency ranges on the electromagnetic spectrum, minds may have various programmability entry zones where some are yet to be “licensed” … thus helping to mitigate potential perceived threats by the “licensees” of other frequency ranges. These zones may not yet be utilized and are not simple linear ranges… ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tc1bcda5fdb4147f4-M218de25c4204352fb93c9b6e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
