The U.S. Army was holding fake Twitch draws to recruit young people

Twitch has forced the military to withdraw the deception, but they have a promotional agreement with them.

The U.S. military has a channel on Twitch to promote its eSports team, which is part of an initiative to attract the country's young people to a career in the military. However, the promotion has gotten out of hand: Twitch has threatened the military with the closure of its channel after detecting them conducting a fake raffle with non-existent prizes that served to redirect unwary young people to a form for enlistment.

The strategy was to promise prizes that did not exist, such as commands and other peripherals, to get the data of young people with a system that led them to sign a document that committed them to be recruited, according to The Nation.

Several adult users became aware of the deception and began to publicly point out the practice. The fake promotions were made in the Twitch chat room. The promotion promised a prize draw for an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, but the links actually sent the user to a recruiting page where there was no reference to any kind of draw, prizes, or any of the information that should be in a supposed draw. It was simply the page to sign up, camouflaged to deceive the user

Following public pressure, Twitch has forced the US military to cease these activities. "According to our terms of use, promotions at Twitch must comply with all applicable laws," the company said in a statement to Kotaku. "This promotion did not comply with our regulations and we have requested that it be withdrawn.

The military has not taken a position on this apparent deception aimed at young people, but the truth is that in the United States there has been a sharp increase in military advertising on the platform as it has become one of the official sponsors of Twitch Rivals, the company's channel. It is not known what the cost of this advertising contract has been, but it could be millions according to some sources consulted by Kotaku.

This has caused many users to start trolling the army channel asking them about war crimes committed by the U.S. and there are even groups competing to see who gets kicked out fastest on both Twitch and Discord.

Soldiers could teach future robots how to outperform humans

In the future, a Soldier and a game controller may be all that's needed to teach robots how to outdrive humans.

At the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory and the University of Texas at Austin, researchers designed an algorithm that allows an autonomous ground vehicle to improve its existing navigation systems by watching a human drive. The team tested its approach -- called adaptive planner parameter learning from demonstration, or APPLD -- on one of the Army's experimental autonomous ground vehicles.

Inside the Military's Secret Undercover Army – https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-inside-militarys-secret-undercover-army-1591881

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the #Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "Signature Reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the #CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.
