alt Hacker News> The AI companies will want to control what's possible and find new things to do that "need" their services.
That's correct. The problem is they have smart people, tons of money, and several years to figure that out, and the best thing they can come up is a coding agent.
That isn’t the best thing they’ve come up with. It’s a marquee product that is fit for public consumption, however.
The ‘best’ things are; - fuzzy pattern matching algorithms for traffic analysis, human and other image target recognition.
- targeting algorithms that identify ‘suspicious’ individuals in large volumes of metadata.
- fraud analysis
- antagonistic image and video generation, both for fooling other fraud analysis, but also for propaganda, screwing with other actors, etc.
- directed high speed content generation (text, pictures, video) to spam the ‘algorithm’ and allow near realtime identification of additional buttons to push for given target audiences.
- massive marketing/ad manipulation.
Those budget line items (and the suppliers) really want to stay off the radar however, as it makes their life harder.
