There was an interesting conversation here on waccobb titled:
"The Rise of the Weaponized AI Propaganda Machine"
NOTE: Be aware that the link in the first post was caught by my browser software, both Google Chrome (I used it to test) and Firefox (what I usually use), security issue was something about a certificate date issue.
it is a documentary/interview on YouTube that does have to do very much with current events and even how people are manipulated to react in particular ways which grants power to those at the controls of the 'system' of information conveyance.
The video link may have been posted somewhere here on waccobb before, but here it is now anyway.
Video is called: Shoshana Zuboff on surveillance capitalism | VPRO Documentary
