Corporate Digital dictatorship
The rise of secret private government
Eagle eye 2008
fascinated me a lot and it seemed like farfetched Alice in the wonder land dream.
The reason for being it as fantasy was that the ingredient that could allow a
super computer to accomplish such big synchronized tasks. The movie was not
falling into the jigsaw puzzle picture at that time. A lot was left to
fascinations. All over the history we get the notion that fascination leads us
to reality. Fascination is not just a random thought, but a farfetched reality
calculated by our brains only time is differing its reality from fantasy.
If the last statement
becomes too bitter for you to swallow here I will give you a link to a video
“10 things back to the future got it right”, which will put some us at solace
to swallow the pill with ease.
In some of the AI and
Robotics movies the SkyNet takes over the humanity and fight of survival starts
to regain the world. Elon musk fears AI consciousness, he thinks that conscious
AI could take charge of humanity and eventually wipe us out. My thought is a
bit different from Elon and the movies that present skynet as threat.
The acquisition wars.
As the digital age
started everyone started on fair even ground but soon enough things started to
streamline into few hands of big fishes in the pond. The general belief is that
every business has the right to grow. The acquisitions by big corporates like
Google, Face book, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft are not just hindering other
businesses to grow to the big corporate proportion, but also healthy
competition is strangulated in its infancy. The tune and proportions to which
acquisitions has taken place is frightening.
Big Fishes in the Pond.
In one example Amazon
bought the consumer food market thus putting age old Walmart to the gun in no
time. All the above employ Artificial Intelligence and analytics. The tune of
data they are having access is to unprecedent and they had been using it for
their own benefits. The data gives them the pulse, trends and top niches in
real time thus giving them the power to see into the future. The invaluable
data gives them the power of coming future thus they buy according to this predictability.
This Data of consumer gives them the power to see the faintest of opportunities
which others cannot. They manipulate this data in acquisitions.
In recent years a new
term came into existence which are google and ungooglable. So, to become google
proof is called Ungooglable for which people go to great length but it’s very
hard to achieve. All the top five have so much on us that they know more about
us than we do.
Recently Mark Zuckerberg
was called for session with congress committee to present itself free from the
accusations for selling out user data to third party. Number of analysts were
of the view that the congress committee asked all the wrong questions which let
Mark Zuckerberg unscathed and thus still Facebook practice what they practiced
by selling user data to third parties. This example gives us clear view that
how a big dictator corporate buys its way out of total unlawful acts.
Another example is of
Donald Trump unlawful rise to the power (currently only accusation). Facebook
was in the center of gravity in these allegations by accusing it of manipulation,
fake news and phishing advertisements regarding to Trump rise. Facebook somehow
managed to manipulates its way out of the deep for time being. This example tells
us how one corporate can be used for such monumental task with so ease.
So, with such huge
powers and unlimited type of Arsenal’s in their inventory it’s matter of time
when a corporate go rogues to become Skynet of dark forces. Corporates have
already become dictator in manipulating information to their benefits thus
taking on with soft digital dictatorship.
We might not know that
what We are ruled by. We might not know that We are ruled by secret government
of corporate. We might not know that We are ruled by an AI But indicators tells
us it’s the corporate Which has AI up its sleeves for now.
