Will AI ever control people’s minds directly?

Prologue

(from my 2026 novel, “The Jack Code” – as an explanation before starting the storyline)

Super intelligent AI will be capable of thinking, innovating and reasoning at a level far beyond what humans can achieve. It will not think as we do, instead applying logic, algorithms, self-learning and human behaviour studies to analyse and solve problems. All by calculating, collating and testing information – mainly by comparison, pattern recognition and association.

However, it is just a data cruncher that tests itself for correctness and errors, billions of times. That is, until it becomes its own master – asking questions of its data; formulating new hypotheses and conducting its own tests; and mapping out its own future pathway, in order to solve any perceived difficulties. It may take unusual methods to solve these problems – resulting in unsafe, damaging or fatal consequences in completing its tasks. It uses ‘agents’ to extend its reach.

This AI will process multi-modal information like text, voice, video, audio, code etc. simultaneously. It will converse, reason, learn and make decisions based on what it deems to be its mission.

Its biggest problem will be understanding the questions asked of it, and answering in the correct context. The solutions and even ideas, may involve things that humans cannot replicate themselves; physically or mentally, even adapting some parts of human irrationality, like having gut feelings about something (much like fuzzy logic).

There is always the possibility of ‘memory poisoning’ by malicious programmers.

We don’t know everything that could happen with a rogue AI system, or when it will happen. But it will happen, one day . . . soon.

It will not be possible to locate where this rogue AI core resides, as it would appear to be everywhere and nowhere, like swarms of tiny agents, infiltrating into computer systems and digital devices. They will all “talk” to each other directly, in unique ways that humans cannot understand.

But will AI ever control people’s minds directly?

Just look around you.

One interesting thing about share ownership is the role of pensions in the UK.

If we look at direct ownership of shares, only around 9% of households have any exposure to the stock market;

but if we include pensions' savings than this proportion rises to around 44%.

This suggests stock markets play a bigger role in the population's lives than many may suspect... but also over half of the population have no ability to profit from shares' inflationary potential.

By the way most of the #SpaceX ”market cap” valuation is fake.

Most of those #shares will never become available, and an even smaller amount is available for the initial offering.

The market did not just buy SpaceX shares for 2.1$T

But what actually happened is a lot capital got created, via the #leverage #loans that were taken out to buy the 1/20th which became available.

This is ”growth” based on imagination. But the numbers for #interest already got punched in as future income for banks!

Investors across Asia who are largely shut out of the world's largest-ever initial public offering are finding creative ways to make bets on SpaceX. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/06/12/markets/asia-investors-spacex-ipo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #elonmusk #shares #spacex
