From the text, it appears that Robert David Steele has some domain knowledge in the area of intelligence, particularly in the collection, production, and dissemination of intelligence. He presents some interesting ideas about the need for empowering citizens with intelligence and breaking down barriers between different sectors and institutions to increase sharing of information. He also seems to have some knowledge of the intelligence community’s wasteful practices and suggests a cooperative R&D effort to avoid waste. However, without further context or analysis, it’s hard to say whether his ideas and proposals are fully grounded in the reality of the intelligence community or if they are more speculative or idealistic in nature.
Based on this text alone, it’s difficult to say if Robert David Steele and hackers could build a conspiracy story telling AI. While the text does demonstrate some level of knowledge about intelligence and information sharing, it’s important to note that this was written in 1993 and doesn’t necessarily reflect Steele’s current level of expertise or involvement in conspiracy theories. Additionally, building an AI requires a diverse set of skills and expertise beyond just knowledge of intelligence and information sharing.
Intelligence gathering and knowledge strategy are essential components of any research or investigative process. Intelligence gathering involves collecting information from various sources, analyzing it, and using it to gain insights and make informed decisions.
Knowledge strategy, on the other hand, is the process of identifying, creating, and using knowledge to achieve organizational goals and objectives. This includes defining knowledge requirements, identifying sources of knowledge, capturing and storing knowledge, disseminating knowledge, and using knowledge to inform decisions and actions.
Both intelligence gathering and knowledge strategy are critical in the QAnon conspiracy research project. Intelligence gathering involves collecting and analyzing various sources of information related to the QAnon conspiracy, such as social media posts, articles, and videos. This information can then be used to identify patterns, connections, and potential leads in the investigation.
Knowledge strategy is also important in the QAnon conspiracy research project. This includes identifying the knowledge requirements for the project, such as understanding the history and origins of the conspiracy, the key players involved, and the various claims and allegations being made. Knowledge can be captured and stored in the form of a knowledge base or repository, which can be used to inform decisions and actions throughout the project.
Overall, intelligence gathering and knowledge strategy are essential components of any successful research or investigative process, and are particularly important in the complex and ever-evolving world of conspiracy theories and disinformation.
Topic 495: Creativity and Hackers… # 23: Robert David Steele (steeler) Wed, Aug 11, ’93 (05:20) 102 lines Outline of Hack-tic Workshop 6 August, Holland “Hacking the Intelligence Community: Increasing Citizens’ Access to Intelligence in the Age of Information Warfare” What IS intelligence?

The Watson analysis shows that the text has a negative sentiment and contains keywords related to intelligence gathering, the intelligence community, and security regulations. It also identifies the author, Robert David Steele, and some of the topics discussed in the text, such as the need to break down barriers and increase sharing of information, the importance of empowering citizens with intelligence, and the potential for waste in the intelligence community. However, the analysis does not provide a clear indication of whether the text displays deep domain knowledge or only surface-level knowledge.
Someone with this type of domain knowledge would have more engineering terms in their dialogue. IMO.
I agree, the text does not demonstrate a deep domain knowledge of engineering or any other particular field. It seems to be more focused on advocating for increased citizen access to intelligence and the need for a national knowledge strategy, among other related topics.
I don’t have information on all the conferences and events that Robert David Steele has attended, but from the available public records and information, it appears that he has been involved mostly in alternative media and conspiracy theory circles. While he has claimed to have a background in intelligence and counterterrorism, there has been skepticism and criticism regarding the accuracy and legitimacy of his claims. Some experts in the intelligence community have even called his claims “outlandish” and “wildly exaggerated”. Therefore, it is possible that he may not have been invited or participated in mainstream technology conferences or events.
Yes, that is correct. According to his Wikipedia page, Robert David Steele has not been known to speak at professional intelligence conferences. In recent years, he has been involved in promoting conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and has been advocating for citizen grand juries and other alternative legal systems.
Generally, someone with deep domain knowledge would be more likely to focus on conferences and events that are relevant to their field and involve professionals in the industry. They would seek out events where they can engage with others who share their expertise and knowledge, and who can challenge and expand their understanding of the field. While it is possible for individuals with deep domain knowledge to engage with a wider audience or take an interest in fringe topics, it is less common for them to focus solely on those areas.
Yes, he does talk about the importance of having a national knowledge strategy in his 1993 post on The Well. In this post, he argues that there is a need to “free up unclassified information wrapped in the ‘cement overcoat’ of peripheral classified information” and to increase sharing of original unclassified source material in order to better empower citizens with intelligence. He also calls for a national program to break down barriers and increase shared collection responsibilities and distributed analysis and production.
Overall, while Robert David Steele has been associated with conspiracy theories and fringe ideas, this particular post from 1993 does suggest that he had some interest in and knowledge of the importance of intelligence and information gathering and sharing. However, it’s important to note that having an interest in a subject and having deep domain knowledge are not necessarily the same thing.
Yes, that seems to be the case. While Robert David Steele may have some knowledge and experience in certain areas, his claims and statements may not always be supported by credible sources or be subject to rigorous scrutiny and testing by experts in the field. It is important to approach claims made by individuals with a critical and skeptical mindset, and to seek out multiple sources of information to verify the accuracy and credibility of those claims.
Yes, that’s correct. The document seems to be more focused on general concepts related to intelligence gathering, rather than any specific jargon or technical knowledge. The ideas presented in the document are not unique to the intelligence community, and are often discussed in broader contexts such as national security or information management. It is also important to note that the document was written in 1993, and many of the concepts discussed have become more mainstream since then.
Yes, that’s correct. The use of industry-specific jargon and terminology is often a good indicator of deep domain knowledge, as it shows a level of familiarity with the field’s language and concepts. When someone lacks that familiarity and uses broad or generic terminology, it can suggest a shallower understanding of the subject matter.
