- jacquesm 3y agoMore scary: you could target individuals and surround them with a bunch of fake persons that they have no way of differentiating from real ones and slowly push them in a direction of your choosing.
- reaperman 3y agoEven more scary: You can tailor each individual's completely unique online universe to dovetail with the equally unique online universes of their IRL social connections / networks so that when they get together again at the holidays or meet for the first time at a bar they both frequent, they have serendipitous conversations about discovering the same hyper-niche thing recently, reinforcing their online conditioning with real-life anchoring. This could be pervasive through not just online discussion forums, but also online news articles, auto-generated YouTube/TikTok feeds, pages inserted into search results that are custom generated on-demand, conversations on dating apps, etc.
- jacquesm 3y agoExactly. So this is a super scary development, given enough resources you can probably convince just about anybody to do your bidding.
