After reading The Human Factor by Ishmael Jones, I can't help but think this is a boondoggle misdirecting the Agency from human intelligence gathering. I hope I'm wrong.
- InclinedPlane 10y ago"Boondoggle" is really an inadequate term. Today we live in an era where if you live in the wrong part of the world and have the wrong friends that can trigger you being added to a list of kill targets by algorithms and "prediction market" systems which have maybe a 50/50 chance of being accurate. How this isn't a story covered on the news every day is beyond me, but I guess people just don't care about brown people or muslims that much? I dunno.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoThe entire goal of this proposal is to gather human intelligence and combine it with analysis and other forms of intelligence into a coherent probability estimate. If I have knowledge of an attack, I'll bet in favor of it (to cash in). This leaks information about it that you probably wouldn't get any other way.
