That phrase is the *definition* of an oxymoron.

what are the odds trump team mensa has decent surface area for a covert cyberAIagent?Remember "Iran/Contra" alum John Poindexter? He was running a program, later called "Total Information Awareness", which had a stated objective of scanning all communications for certain key words. iirc, privacy concerns compelled Congress to defund the project, but the suspicion is it was simply driven into the DoD's classified ops, so it was hidden from Congress. I would imagine AI would make that program vastly more efficient, because they would no longer need a human to look at the context that a key word was used in, to determine if it's the boogyman talking, or someone wishing his grandfather happy birthday.
Project Genoa
Project Genoa was a software project commissioned by the United States' DARPA which was designed to analyze large amounts of data and metadata to help human analysts counter terrorism.
Genoa was conceived in late 1995 by retired Rear Admiral John Poindexter, a chief player in the Iran-Contra Affair. At the time, Poindexter was working at Syntek, a company often contracted to do work for the Department of Defense.[2] He proposed a computer system that would help humans crunch large amounts of data in order to more effectively predict potential national security threats. Poindexter brought his ideas to former colleagues working with the United States National Security Council. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_GenoaTotal Information Awareness
Total Information Awareness (TIA) was a mass detection program[clarification needed] by the United States Information Awareness Office. It operated under this title from February to May 2003 before being renamed Terrorism Information Awareness.[1][2]
Based on the concept of predictive policing, TIA was meant to correlate detailed information about people in order to anticipate and prevent terrorist incidents before execution.[3] The program modeled specific information sets in the hunt for terrorists around the globe.[4] Admiral John Poindexter called it a "Manhattan Project for counter-terrorism".[5] According to Senator Ron Wyden, TIA was the "biggest surveillance program in the history of the United States".[6]
Congress defunded the Information Awareness Office in late 2003 after media reports criticized the government for attempting to establish "Total Information Awareness" over all citizenshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Information_Aw...Steve

For a few years - until I got tired of it - I would finish emails to my sister:
"Bye for now

bomb terrorist hijack Obama anthrax
(note to NSA: Hi, guys! Hope you're having a good Friday!)"
I'd scramble 4-5 key words out of a list of a dozen or so

Years ago, when things like the Freedom of Information Act were new, the news reported that you could write to the FBI to find out what they had on file on you. If, however, the FBI found it did not have a file on you, the news report continued, they would start one, to try to figure out why you asked.
Congratulation! Your fun probably got you investigated. Recent studies indicate that the old "six degrees of separation" meme is wrong. The real number is between 3 and 5. If you motivate TPTB, they can "connect" you to any scummy character they want to, and give you a one way ticket to CECOT. AI will make that job much faster and cheaper, lowering the barriers to doing it for anyone who attracts their attention. Feel better now?

Well, let's see.
Native-born, well-to-do American senior citizen, professional, upstanding/well-respected long-term member of the community, utterly spotless criminal record. Not even any moving violations.
...so, of course I'm worried. I think a nontrivial chance I (and possibly equally spotless family members) will end up in a camp. Because I have a mouth, a keyboard, if need be a whistle, and am well aware of my First Amendment rights.
I think anyone who's not worried at this point isn't paying attention.
Wasn't it Molotov who said something along the lines of "give me a name and I'll find the crime"?
