Welcome to Part 5 of GPs Cognitive Warfare Series. This segment has a lot of material, so we have broken it into four parts. Welcome to Hacking Your Thoughts Part 2: Oppenheimer Moments and the Quest for the VC Dollar.
The Startup Scene for Your Thoughts
GP has spoken to several leading startups in this area about their ethical guardrails and their plans for use cases for their products and services. That will be the subject of a later installment in the series.
The conversations did not assuage concerns that, for them, as usual, it was more about the dollar than the safety or the good of humanity. This was evident when the scientists were eager to answer GPs’ questions, but their VC chaperones shut them down rather quickly and preferred to take these questions and corporate use cases off the table for discussion.
The Dangers of Poor Predictive Design
We have all seen the outcomes of poorly designed and deployed predictive products and services. For one, there were high-profile controversies surrounding Palantir Technologies Predictive Policing software, which demonstrated immense bias and was primed for wrongful convictions.
What I have spoken about are GPs’ thoughts. They are not AI-generated. See you in Part 6. Til Then. Stay Smart, Stay Curious, & Stay Free.
