• Complete paranoia about Google manipulation

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 4 18:08:19 2025
    My brain has completely atrophied and there's nothing there except what
    Google has put into it.

    I've complained for years that I talk about something in real life or on Usenet, I type something into the search bar on a browser, and within 3
    or 4 keystrokes, the topic comes up as a search suggestion, even if I
    think it's obscure. This is evidence that the microchip in my brain is functioning.

    It's gotten so much worse.

    Now, intellectually, in the back of my mind, if I'm listening to a lecture,
    I know that it needs to be delivered by a middle-aged dude, out of shape, ill-fitting suit, thick glasses, balding, with an unpleasant nasal
    voice. Otherwise, I'm not listening to the arguments, just reacting to
    the speaker.

    Emotionally, I can be persuaded to do or think anything. A woman younger
    than me that maybe we could share values, but not too much younger that
    we have no possible way of communicating. Long hair, brunette or dark
    blonde. About my height. Alto voice.

    Now, Google knows this. The same woman has been turning up in my YouTube
    feeds all week, either lecturing herself or being interviewed.

    Let's say I were somebody important rather than another loudmouth with
    an opinion. A CEO looking to merge corporations. Someone like her might
    cause me to overlook problems in her company's financial statements.

    Or I were a top politician or president. Xi Jinping would have sent over
    such a woman to lead a negotiating team. Would I then order an aircraft
    carrier and associated battle group to withdraw a few miles from the Philipines?

    Also, is this a woman or is it AI?

    I'm doomed. The rest of you, save yourselves if it's not too late!

    Well, that sucks.

    I've complained for years that I talk about something in real life or on >Usenet, I type something into the search bar on a browser, and within 3

    I hope you'll understand when I question there being a microchip
    in your brain.
    What actual evidence do you have? Your claim is anecdotal at
    best. It may be enough to prove the claim for you, but I doubt it will
    be enough for most others.

    It's gotten so much worse.

    Now, intellectually, in the back of my mind, if I'm listening to a lecture,
    I know that it needs to be delivered by a middle-aged dude, out of shape, >ill-fitting suit, thick glasses, balding, with an unpleasant nasal

    the speaker.


    Why would it need to be delivered by the man you describe? Why
    couldn't anyone else present the lecture?

    Emotionally, I can be persuaded to do or think anything. A woman younger
    than me that maybe we could share values, but not too much younger that
    we have no possible way of communicating. Long hair, brunette or dark
    blonde. About my height. Alto voice.

    You probably looked up images of such women on Google. Since
    Youtube is owned by Google, it will know what you've searched. It's
    one of the reasons I use startpage.com for my searches.

    Let's say I were somebody important rather than another loudmouth with
    an opinion. A CEO looking to merge corporations. Someone like her might
    cause me to overlook problems in her company's financial statements.


    You wouldn't be the only one offering input into the merger, so
    there is every reason to accept any problems would be noticed by
    another.

    Or I were a top politician or president. Xi Jinping would have sent over
    such a woman to lead a negotiating team. Would I then order an aircraft >carrier and associated battle group to withdraw a few miles from the >Philipines?


    Possible. But, in the U.S. at least, the President would get
    input from his advisors. Unless they're all attracted to the same type
    of woman, they won't fall for it.

    Also, is this a woman or is it AI?


    A valid question, actually. Unless there is something obvious,
    you may not be able to tell the difference between a real person and
    AI.

    I'm doomed. The rest of you, save yourselves if it's not too late!

    I'm certain no one is monitoring me via a chip like you describe.
    It's possible Siri is doing so with my iPhone. Though I have no
    evidence, so I will presume it's not.
