"Both In-Q-Tel and Google Ventures have seats on Recorded Future's board. Ahlberg says those board members have been "very helpful," providing business and technology advice, as well as introducing him to potential customers. Both organizations, it's safe to say, will profit handsomely if Recorded Future is ever sold or taken public. Ahlberg's last company, the corporate intelligence firm Spotfire, was acquired in 2007 for $195 million in cash."
Q USING RECORDED FUTURE TO PREDICT DS OPS???
The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents – both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine "goes beyond search" by "looking at the 'invisible links' between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events."
The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online "momentum" for any given event.
"The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases," says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.
Which naturally makes the 16-person Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm attractive to Google Ventures, the search giant's investment division, and to In-Q-Tel, which handles similar duties for the CIA and the wider intelligence community.
>America's spy services have become increasingly interested in mining "open source intelligence" – information that’s publicly available, but often hidden in the daily avalanche of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports.
>"Secret information isn’t always the brass ring in our profession," then CIA-director General Michael Hayden told a conference in 2008. "In fact, there’s a real satisfaction in solving a problem or answering a tough question with information that someone was dumb enough to leave out in the open."
Q IS ALL ABOUT OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE. IF Q WAS USING RECORDED FUTURE THAT'S HOW HE KNEW ABOUT JOHN PERRY BARLOW. ETC.
>U.S. spy agencies, through In-Q-Tel, have invested in a number of firms to help them better find that information. Visible Technologies crawls over half a million web 2.0 sites a day, scraping more than a million posts and conversations taking place on blogs, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Attensity applies the rules of grammar to the so-called "unstructured text" of the web to make it more easily digestible by government databases. Keyhole (now Google Earth) is a staple of the targeting cells in military-intelligence units.
>Recorded Future strips from web pages the people, places and activities they mention. The company examines when and where these events happened ("spatial and temporal analysis") and the tone of the document ("sentiment analysis"). Then it applies some artificial-intelligence algorithms to tease out connections between the players. Recorded Future maintains an index with more than 100 million events, hosted on Amazon.com servers. The analysis, however, is on the living web.
>"We're right there as it happens," Ahlberg told Danger Room as he clicked through a demonstration. "We can assemble actual real-time dossiers on people."
RE Q RE REAL TIME DOSSIERS ON FAKE NEWS JOURNOS
Baker, what you think - notable? I get the feeling others ignored because many are too busy shitposting and bickering with shills about Jews, etc. I'm actually trying to contribute something of value and I don't see, and no one has provided any argument why what I had to post isn't of potential value.
The fuck are you talking about? Did you even read the article I'm quoting from that Q posted? If Q's using tech, ai essentially, that identifies "birds of a feather" - making sense of bulk data collected - it would explain many things including how he was able to pull random / select Tweets from certain people from long ago that now prove damaging.
You're a dumbass. Read the article Q posted.
Their silence doesn't equal agreement dumbass. You won't stop my research either.
