Definitely an interesting topic, and not so far-fetched to require a significant suspension of disbelief.
I don't think a system that couldn't "probe the internet, know all the things and have a pulse on the global impact" would be fair to be said to be near-omniscient. I definitely could consider it being an expert on societal responses, though. Given enough meaningful data, sufficient quantum processing power and a working general intelligence that's properly trained (probably years and years) to be accurate.
You're right that could be very powerful, especially if your moves are slow enough, and you can game out enough possible winning scenarios to have a good end result.
That would be quite the Whopper you'd have there, and that's most certainly something I could imagine a particular type of branch would find useful for all kinds of planning scenarios.
The impacts of AI are terrifying, and wondrous.
Yeah that would give the money for something like that. Curious stuff.
Holy wall of text batman. I speed-read this, and think I got the gist of it. I'm skeptical on the capacity of such a computer. What type of storage medium is all this captured on? High capacity storage, afaik, is all on old-school hard disks, which are pretty limited in their speed for parsing the entire digital internet regarding a situation/problem being calculated. An "omniscient ai" would need quick access to a lot of data, but maybe that's possible in an effective way. (not real-time)
Then there's the quantum computer power needed to run a general intelligence (and the actual invention/discovery of one). Black projects don't have super-advanced technology in every field of science necessary for a project. But I guess if we're ok with us having far-out tinfoil technology (ufo's etc) then I just shrug and say sure, could be?
I'm pretty skeptical on the project lookingglass type stuff and a hyper-intelligent AI way beyond our leading researchers have made public is not really something I consider very often, but it's a shoe-in for something like an omniscience problem so who knows. I doubt we'll know the answer.
The funding, hardware, storage, bandwidth and AI complexity are next-gen stuff needed for this, that's for sure. They probably have a delivery of network-grade platter hard drives being delivered, installed and parsed every few hours. And a network that mirrors the Internet itself, to feed the beast. Also, a fabrication of high-quality quantum computer chips that are significantly above the current power level.
Thinking about this more, you could potentially have an AI you feed the internet into and have it train over a long time. (years) This would solve the storage problem, and needing fast access to all the ever-happened-in-existence Internet stuff. Perhaps connection to a NxA data system or something, but that would be fairly slow and not "omniscent" in a real-time way. Dunno, perhaps someone has done something like this. For sure groups are trying. Then all you need is high-power quantum supercomputer and a working general intelligence. (which afik doesn't exist in civilian life) Oh, and for it to be accurate, not just clever.
There are legitimately very big reasons to be pissed off right now.
Indeed.
Perhaps you will deign to explain it to me?
Good job, removing the clinton stain from that state.
So that's not a No. Care to elaborate?
Are you a furry? What's with the humanized doggy stuff all the time? I don't get it. No offense, just comes off strange to me.
He has access to all the phone-call-in reports in the US to truethevote. So yeah I imagine he's heard all kinds of stuff.
I suspect that's difficult to calculate without omniscience. Do you have a suggestion on how this would be measured?
Great questions.

Generally these things are escapism because normal life is boring/hard.
You engage these people by soundly showing how they can make real-life better.
I will find it hilarious if they cheat "win" the key counties, but lose bigly in unexpected areas where they assume it's a given. Black and Hispanic "strongholds" noping themselves Red, etc.
Relax friend, it will work out one way or another. Enjoy the journey and trust God to lead your path forward.
I'm hoping for a huge red wave and antifa in the streets versus a Blue wall of cheating.
Hope people go to jail because of failed shenanigans as well.
That's good if things ever get audited. Which they basically don't.
Patient, Zen, expecting lots of shenanigans today and the coming weeks.
Pray up, stock up, and keep your eyes open.
You can use a tablet or laptop to scan for wifi, you don't need a phone for that.

Perhaps it's taken a second election (third?) to have proof of a pattern, and to make an ironclad legal case at a federal level.
That's all the hopium I have on this thought though. We'll see.
