  • The US Government maintains arguably the largest, the best-financed and the most powerful hacker army in the world. But what was the inciting incident to create it? The answer is simple: Project Gunman. An incredibly secret operation that aimed to find Soviet bugs planted in an American embassy. Here’s the story of that operation - and how it turned America’s cyber army into what it is today. Project Gunman.

    Hope you've enjoyed the video! Project Gunman is one piece of history we know of that shaped the US cyber operations into what they are today. Most of these operations are classified. Do you think the government should be more transparent about its hacking efforts?

      Not with the general public. But the chain of oversight should be more prevalent. That helps with assuring the public that there are check and balances in place. That those measure are held to account.

    I’m curious how many in these agencies, upon discovering they were compromised, were like “Holy F***” angry. And what percent of them were like “Holy F*** why didn’t we think of that?”.

    This was killer. New to the channel. Regarding artificial intelligence, and narration. The issue I find is the sterility in the voice. Something in the way that it is recorded. Just causes me to lose interest really quickly. It’s missing a warmth that the human voice has. It’s not a digital replication issue, it’s the way our ears translate, the human voice. Regardless of whether is recorded digitally, and then brought to our speakers digitally. The fact that it was originally a human voice makes a huge difference.

      4:37. That face. Never seen an Ai do that. His voice has more emotions than an ai. And I also saw his hands (those could be edited in tho)... Also if you ever see a selfie and wonder if it's Ai, look at the ears. They always look wrong. His ears are human. Ai can't do ears or fingers, and sometimes shadows. It does hair pretty well.
