Intelligence is a State term only recently and awkwardly grafted onto newfangled notions of brains, biology, or associations with ethereal abstractions & higher thinking. It actually draws from older social reflexes and traditions; political ties, diplomatic signals, dominance games… Spycraft.
Signals Intelligence is the True Name & Purpose of Ai: Control… of everything, everyone.
Intelligence interprets signals from the field to inform decisions and extend power. Our networks first followed empire trade routes, turning into telephone lines, then finance+data conduits. Understand that no apps and services built on top of this are too-important and will be bent to serve core State functionality as they deem needs. Everything we do on top of this to make money and share cat-vids is window-dressing swept aside, or more-often subsumed, under protocol.
False Flags Are Off The MenuAs seen in recent White House broadcasting All Things Q-onsidered, is the value of SIGs to punch way-above weight: as in the Q and Anons of 4chan. This is a white-hat corollary to how small committed groups usually scam larger publics. We just watched a small autistic population lured into ARG puzzles unlocking State secrets, with Open Methods, sharing results w/groups who process & format Raw Data into Memes & Messages for family + friends & wider public… Mighty Wurlitzer failed to dominate Listserves & Podcasts:We Are In Control of Infosphere.
Understand This: mere handfuls of savants took apart Deep State in just ten years. Now, today, thirty-year John F Kennedy assassination Plots become another weekend movie-release Spoiler: was that Monkey-Poo-Pox? AGAIN?
Powered by Jolt Cola these flawed, earnest savants, just out-performed every foe AI with decades of planning & vast resources to draw on. That is the lesson about frailty of AI over-investment and lost-opportunities for other infrastructures needed. We used to get actual platform upgrades with our national infrastructure boondoggles.
AGI/data-center ROI as presented is absurd & FUD-mongering, a feint. The roll-out of micro-nukes is the reveal & how we finally upgrade American power grid. Across centuries & civilizations the Wealth of people goes up+down with Energy consumption. This is why Green Transition was always imposed Doctrine of Austerity.

Orwell taught what he learned in British East India Company and all this was built analog long ago, and just these last decades cyberized & financialized. Trump+Co may yet rug-pull, but I see effective systemic change and best shot at un-plugging HAL-9000 from errant mission.
I also see rabid-terriers, like Thiel, or “Handsome Jack” Palmer, as doing useful modernization work & routing out poisonous actors/actions coursing through our systems.

ERRATA in a funny co-inky-dink I knew Jensen as teen, in Portlandia. Always competitive, political, he qualified for exhibition games of Ping Pong Diplomacy, Kissinger's Chinese charm-offensive, and all I think about as I see Jensen at podium with world leaders. Never ran into him in Silicon Valley & will probably regret never pitching him, well anything. Disappointed he's never invested in Oregon chip fabs.
Anyway, I know why he wears black leather jackets

! My notes: Latchkey generation made own dinners, books & tv… solo hobbies & pursuits. First generation to fend for self, raised sibs, family laundry, early to work jobs!
