NSA

Just a little bit about how Google Ads work, and domestic spying

I've been chatting up heavy the business of power utility "Demand Response" lately here at www.CultureKitchen.com .

This is where the utility will be able to cut power to AC via automatic control if there are dangers of the Electric Grid going unstable during peak loads.

(Heat waves)

This conversation ends up heavy with key words like HVAC energy etc etc.

Thanks to Google's search technology, AI and on going screening of web content they can then post "targeted ads"

For example from last night:

Now take for example, the same key word sensitive Advertising now running on MySpace with 145,000,000 accounts and 400,000 to 600,000 blogs posted daily.

That's a lot of keyword sensitive oversight, and a lot of computing horsepower.

Now, if it were national security issues we were worried about.....

How hard does anyone think it is to automatically and with a little AI tossed in for sorting

watch for key words like "Assassinate the President"

?

Does it make you think? It does me.

Words to live by

Here’s your hypothetical question of the day: If it ever happened that America attacked Iran because of alleged nukes, and later confirmed it had no nuclear weapons program, and we discovered that the administration knew it all along, would it be in the best interest of the citizens of the United States to overthrow their government?
