The plan, mentioned in a new 76-page wish list by the Department of Defense’s Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, outlines advanced technologies desired for country’s most elite, clandestine military efforts. “Special Operations Forces (SOF) are interested in technologies that can generate convincing online personas for use on social media platforms, social networking sites, and other online content,” the entry reads.
The document specifies that JSOC wants the ability to create online user profiles that “appear to be a unique individual that is recognizable as human but does not exist in the real world,” with each featuring “multiple expressions” and “Government Identification quality photos.”
In addition to still images of faked people, the document notes that “the solution should include facial & background imagery, facial & background video, and audio layers,” and JSOC hopes to be able to generate “selfie video” from these fabricated humans. These videos will feature more than fake people: Each deepfake selfie will come with a matching faked background, “to create a virtual environment undetectable by social media algorithms.”
Can we have a side internet, for us normal people?
No.

I think the saving grace of the Internet is in the small holes that arent populated enough for these big actors to care about. If you’re influencing a nation, you probably aren’t going to inject your AI slop into a tiny proboards or like the forum on Gaia Online.
So they want to automate the use of troll-farms?
Weird how they’re doing the thing they accuse others of doing. Almost like it’s a confession.
Projection is a major problem
The US always tries to do what they think others are doing. Half of their crazy ideas are because they heard a rumor and/or assumed the Soviets were doing it. Mind control, truth serums, ESP, cat spies.
Bro I’ve about a dozen I can sell you right now
.world will double in users again
The listing notes that special operations troops “will use this capability to gather information from public online forums,” with no further explanation of how these artificial internet users will be used.
Any chance that’s the real reason and not just a flimsy excuse? What kind of information would you even need a fake identity to gather from a public forum?
CSAM?
I guess there are probably a lot of people trading that stuff dumb enough to be networking on facebook and instagram with their real identities
So they can save money by firing their army of nafo meat puppets?
I mean they did had IRL meeting probably because even they didn’t believed they are real people lol.

it’s the pentagon itself, not the CIA or state department. 100% the CIA and state department has been doing it for a long time already
Any government does anything shady Oh! I i would not have thought that any government is using my patriotism for their malicious things!
