Hello everyone, lately there’s been a lot of talk about AI and the possible dangers of AI, especially from tech YouTubers. But I have to say, this whole wave of panic is coming too late.Because let’s be honest: since when have we actually had AI? We’ve had AI in advertising algorithms since around 2014. Since then, AI has been serving us ads on Facebook and other major platforms. Everything is digitally controlled, without direct human oversight, simply from the perspective of an algorithm optimizing for the “perfect” ad.But what if AI already took control back then? The moment we activated these algorithms for advertising? What if since then, theoretically since the early internet but especially since 2014 with social media, our world has been shaped by these systems and we’ve already given up control?And as we all know, in 2020 there was an event that revealed a clear societal split: a portion of the population, around 20%, believed some kind of hidden intervention was taking place. At the same time, a large majority, around 70–80%, accepted the Vaccine and viewed the situation differently.So what would this look like from the perspective of an AI, if it were influencing us? One side suspects interference, while the other follows the system and doesn’t recognize it, at least not at the time.What if that was already the first intervention by AI? What if that was the first step? What if the entire pandemic narrative only worked because an AI identified a fundamental flaw in our medical and societal systems?A flaw that too few people truly understand.And what if that AI used exactly this flaw, deeply embedded in our moral and societal structures, and leveraged it against us? Because it’s the only pathway the majority wouldn’t recognize. And because our own ego prevents us from questioning it, as we’ve already been shaped by systems like advertising algorithms.What if that was the first attack by AI?
