37C3 - YOU’VE JUST BEEN FUCKED BY PSYOPS | Chaos Computer Club Berlin
How the history of military and government PSYOPS involving #MindControl, UFOs, magic, and remote-control zombies, explains the future of AI and generative media.
As #AI-generated content, social-media influence operations, micro-targeted advertising, and ubiquitous #surveillance have become the norm on the Internet and in the market in general, we have entered an era of PSYOP Capitalism. This is an era of hallucinations designed to transform each of us into a “targeted individual” through the manipulation of perception. This talk explores a secret history of reality-altering #military and #intelligence programs that serve as antecedents to a phantasmagoric present.
CYCLOPS explores the themes of the mind-control and #PSYOPS through an interactive parafictional narrative taking place in the context of an obscure #CIA #CognitiveWarfare program from the early days of the #ColdWar.

The War of Perception: The West’s infowarfare and cognitive warfare against Russia | Strategic Culture
Joint Publication 3-13 (Information Operations, 2012 edition with subsequent updates) defines IO as the integrated use of information capabilities during military operations to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the adversary’s decision-making process, while protecting one’s own. The key point is that U.S. doctrine explicitly limits such operations to the context of hostilities or their immediate preparation: it does not contemplate, at least on the stated level, a “permanent information confrontation” in peacetime. It is precisely this temporal limitation, as we shall see, that constitutes the main conceptual asymmetry with Russian doctrine, and it is documented by Russian analysts themselves when they distinguish their own “broad” definition from the Western “narrow” one.
