Algorithms as weapons: Information warfare.

The algorithmic advantage is the business strategy that creates large monopolies, but the same is true for the fight between nations.

When countries have equal strengths in conventional war power, a new age war would be a war for the minds. For example, you could launch a hugely viral app and set the algorithm to reward wasteful behavior that adds no value to your target country’s society.

You will have a whole generation growing up thinking making dance moves is how you become successful in life. At the same time, in your home country, you can tweak the algorithms to reward productive endeavors, science projects, and being ambitious in problem-solving, now you are on a path to win the war without firing a single shot.

The 3rd world war is already underway, and the battle is for the minds, and TikTok and stuff like that program young minds are the weapons.
