May be completely off-base here, and this is really nothing but speculation, but here it goes:

I think we are currently in the throws of a "Cold War" between two AIs. I'm not sure if I can "prove this", but I get the feeling that the singularity already happened, and it was just never reported, because, well… What we know about 7 Dwarfs in Langley should lead you to realize that there are big, complex supercomputers with the power to simulate, well… everything. All that data being collected on everyone, everything, all interactions - do we imagine it's just sitting around advertiser's workplaces? No. It's in the hands of whoever can take it/steal it/ posses it.

I'm not saying CERN definitely is what we're dealing with, but I'd put a lot of money on the evil black box supercomputing AI we are fighting being locked away in Switzerland under the cover of CERN. There are already a few good videos/ digs about "society being programmed by a black box". Slowly and steadily, literally everything that (((they))) need to get done, gets done, year after year, month after month, at all levels of their opreation. Operators do X, to accomplish Y, as mockinbird and monarch agents tasked to complete their little piece of the puzzle that adds up to "the machine" "the beast" "the plan", whatever we call it.

These people genuinely believe themselves to be gods for millennia, and they gather in their halls and castles and board rooms and move chess pieces to and fro just to entertain themselves and get done what they need to get done. So of course all their tech acquisition would lead to them developing AI first, all as part of their plan to keep their ball rolling

NOW is where it gets interesting. What if the're another AI? What if the military has one? What if year after year, month after month, the simulations all ran showing that situation after situation would only lead to failure, destruction, complete end game for the white hats.

I have no idea when exactly this occurred - but what if one day the light went green, and /ourAI/ spit out the one set of circumstances that would lead to 95% success rate, the one course of action that would lead to victory, the one set of circumstances that could stop (((them)))?

It had to have went green with Trump. They finally saw the chance. They ran the simulation, and after nothing, just quiet contemplation, /ourAI/ woke up, saw the exact perfect set of actions to defeat them, every single step of the way.

What we are seeing before our very eyes here in /cbts/, is World War III. The Information War. The AI War. Instead of frontlines, and mass army movements, or blitzkriegs, or air strikes, we get headlines. The AI spits out "Yes, release X, it is the perfect time", and then we have it, right in the news WWIII's version of a battalion charging a choke point. Boom. Another blow. Boom. Another blow. They fight back, they release their news, they move mountains how they always have - but now for the VERY FIRST TIME… we have our own "black box" programming OUR reality.

AND OUR REALITY WILL WIN.

HAHAHAHAHHA
