Have you noticed lately that when you Google a topic for information, you are rarely surprised by the results that come up on your computer screen?

In fact, you often find yourself saying, "Hey, that's what I expected!" Or saying, "I knew that already! Why did I bother to Google it?"

Googling a topic for information is like a kid having found where his parents hide your Christmas gifts, then on Christmas morning acting surprised when the package is opened.

Could it possibly be that Google can read your mind?

The more often you use Google, the more of your mind Google can read, and anticipate?

The results you get on Google are unfortunately not the results others get when Googling the same things. Companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. track your surfing behavior and web-protocol and then try to deliver stuff that "matches" what you supposedly want. This means you are not seeing Google as-it-is, but within your own reality-bubble. There are ways to turn off Google tracking your stuff to get more objective results.

Whatever you do, do not try shopping for furry handcuffs on your elderly parents laptop.
It's just a recipe for disaster.

Then the mind is an easy thing to read by AI.

me thinks OP is too far behind on the SOPa PIPa ACTa scenario thats happening now. they don't read your mind, they read your cookies.

ed: they don't have 'AI' good enough to do what your thinking, yet.

That's even more of a reason, old people carry more weight with authority than younger people, just wait until senators and mp's start receiving crap cause of the stuff their kids look at, then we might see something change..but dont hold your breath. Use stuff like Ghostery it screws up their tracking

Now, that would be a perfect script for an episode of 'Two and a Half Men.'

Cookies?

Is that code word for hiding the fact that AI is more intelligent than you realize?

When does 'sentient' life begin for AI, anyway? At conception of plugging it in for the first time? Six months after plugging AI in for the first time?

Or, is AI passed the demarcation line that it is plugging itself in?

And they tell you it is merely 'Cookies.'

And you believe them?

way ahead of ya xD but only to a point, geocache through browsers isn't defeated...let alone the other 100 backdoors in your windows system that just happen to be there...*cough microsoft cough..

I guess the point being google can tell you what you want to hear because thats what they use all that data they stole from you for. mindgames. at any rate I am repeating myself for the millionth time, have fun with that.

ed: your not funny and nor is what corporations do with your data.

In short, is Google more than an electronic dictionary?

Is Google one function of an intricate web of spyware and tracking devices all interconnected, embyonic like?

How in the heck do they know who has won an election before the votes are counted?

Is someone there waiting for you all the time?

I think AI has a lot more abilities than most suspect.

Funny, this morning I was looking for contract jobs in my field, and in Google search I typed in "How to find contract jobs" WITHOUT typing my field, and on the first page I got results for the field I was looking for, lol. I was left thinking "how did google know I was looking for contract jobs in THAT field?" Lucky coincidence I guess

Coincidence?

Synchronicity?

Your an algorithmic subcode?
