Elon Musk and his Twitter (X platform) engineers have an Artificial Intelligence (AI) user engagement and information system known as Grok. Essentially, you can ask AI Grok questions, and it provides responses based on the coded values of the engineers who built it.
When asked how to avoid the Twitter platform diminishing their user voice, a typical response from Grok:
“Don’t criticize your government, don’t criticize foreign governments, don’t talk about conspiracy theories, stop telling people to fuck off in the comments, and don’t accuse government officials or members of the media of malfeasance or dishonesty.”
These are the parameters built by Elon Musk and his Twitter engineers.
This is what controls the ‘reach of speech’ on the platform. Now, it would be simply funny but there are serious layers that must be discussed here.
First, this is how Elon Musk, the demigod free speech advocate, is structuring the algorithm within his Twitter (X) platform. These are his coded values as displayed by the engineers he has hired. Musks engineers transcribe his goals into code and implant it within the algorithm that controls the site content and restricts or enlarges the influence of the users.
Read this again. …”Don’t criticize your government, don’t criticize foreign governments, don’t talk about conspiracy theories, … and don’t accuse government officials or members of the media of malfeasance or dishonesty.” What does that sound like?
These same coded values are being created by the same tech engineers who are currently building out the surveillance state technological interface with government. This same perspective, what Palantir CEO Alex Karp described as “coded values,” is being written into the code within Palantir facial recognition and targeting software. The U.S. Government has already signed billions in contracts with Palantir (Peter Thiel) for these AI products.
Take your “REAL ID” as required by the United States Government (Passport or Driver’s License compatible), now overlay your identity as facially recognized by the tech system around your identity and connect it all to the metadata of your digital life that you leave as a fingerprint within every interaction with technology, and finally add in the coded values that will determine your “liberty status” or what might be called your social credit score (China version). Now do you see the problem?
Larry Ellison: […] But this is only the start of our surveillance dystopia, according to Larry Ellison, the billionaire cofounder of Oracle. He said AI will usher in a new era of surveillance that he gleefully said will ensure “citizens will be on their best behavior.”
Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting, where he shared his thoughts on the future of AI-powered surveillance tools.
Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.
“We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.” (more)
What we are witnessing evolve on Twitter, are the original imprints of how the Silicon Valley artificial intelligence products will engage in your life. This is the core “coded values” part of the AI assembly. Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy, JD Vance are all part of the technological network building this system for influence and affluence.
These same actors are about to take their AI enhancements into the largest database ever created and stored in human history, through DOGE. The databases of the U.S Government and NSA hold an astronomical scale of American data. Imagine the computer learning possible by allowing AI to analyze that level of data scale.
