After looking through a few of my fellow students’ propaganda submissions, one that Jonathan could react to is “Mustafa’s Thoughts.” My character would like the aspects shown through the poster. The simple color does construct that Aggressive Technologies will go through any measure to achieve what they must to be at full capacity.
Chuckles isn’t quite sure as to where he stands with AI and Aggressive Technologies. However, he has stated that he is not pleased with the takeover from Aggressive Technologies on his architect job. Chuckles has a lot more to say and more thoughts on Aggressive Technologies which can be found here. For now here is the next assignment of his reactions to a few designs and PSAs others produced.
First up is the propaganda picture by Marie. First thing I have to say is that Chuckles would have a great laugh seeing this post. He would also really get along with Marie. They share the same sense of humor and pretty much the same values. Overall, Chuckles enjoyed the incorporation of humor with this serious matter.
Next up is a Public Service Announcement by cat on a moped and Dr. Ravioli. Chuckles is not chuckling after hearing this PSA… A fully AI operated moped?! He has so many thoughts and concerns with this concept. This was not the news he wanted to hear this morning. He fears that the helmet could be useful but harmful at the same time. There’s always issues and risks with having something fully dependent on technology, and there’s not always a positive outcome from it.
Lastly, we have another propaganda poster, this one is by Sydney. Chuckles would not react well to this either. The first line is “We’ll think for you” and Chuckles says that first they will think for you, and next thing you know they are doing everything for you and trying to be you. The word trust is mentioned on their twice and Chuckles would be quick to inform you that you can never fully trust AI.
I chose three pieces of propaganda for Isaiah Beacon to react to, one that’s anti-AI and two that’s pro-AI. Starting with the anti-AI propaganda, Xander’s poster is particularly critical of Aggressive Technologies due to being fired from them in the past. Isaiah would say that Xander was likely a lazy employee who didn’t know how to be efficient enough. With the growing power of AI, it is essential for employees like Xander to be able to compete and cooperate with AI.
Isaiah appreciated Josh’s sticker as it shows the full power of Aggressive Technologies and their forward thinking innovations. Isaiah is impressed with Josh’s hardworking ethic and incredible intelligence, and he is eagerly waiting for the flying cars.
Finally, Isaiah really loved Lady Alice’s poster as it portrays a future that Isaiah wishes to see. Isaiah believes that the intermixing of AI and humans are the best thing for the survival of the human race. Isaiah has some more traditional values as well so he loves the Normal Rockwell inspiration. I believe that Isaiah would have this hanging above his dining room table.
The first PSA I wanted my character to react to was by Destiny. I found this one interesting since it takes a conflicting viewpoint from what my character would believe. My character is trying to encourage people to be wary of the dangers of Aggressive Technologies and not let them take over the markets. I think Düşünür would strongly disagree with this message and would encourage others not to think this way and instead encourage others not to join Aggressive Technologies.
The next PSA I wanted my character to react to was posted on here and there it’s everything. This PSA is suggesting the public be okay with constant surveillance by Aggressive Technologies because it would lead to greater safety for society. Düşünür would disagree with this PSA and suggest that it is best to never allow this level of surveillance. He would be shocked that others would be so willing to let them invade the personal privacy of the citizens.
The last PSA I considered was posted on cat on a moped. This PSA is about the creation of a fully AI-operated moped by Dr. Ravioli. I think this would scare Düşünür because this is yet another way AI is taking over every market. It seems like a harmless invention, but demonstrates how wide of a net Aggressive Technologies casts and how much influence they really have.
I have to say that I clicked on three different websites that were kind of hard to navigate so I ended up leaving them because I could not find their PSA.
However, I think that Josh and Dr. Ravioli should team together to create cars and moped. Dr. Ravioli really has something special so far that no one else seem to understand other than Josh. Wanting to learn more about Dr. Ravioli moped PSA, here is their website:
That will take you directly to the PSA. Thank you Dr. Ravioli, I hope you and josh will be able to speak to each other soon!
Maybe after Josh and Dr. Ravioli talk they can try to turn around Xander from not having a good experience with Aggressive Technology into a better one. Xander thinks that this company has not been treating their employees well but needless to say that Aggressive Technologies helped Josh get out of his small hometown and gave him the greatest opportunity of his life. By clicking the button you can hear more about Xander PSA.
Then we have Leila, which also had a bad run in with Aggressive Technology and you can bring up their PSA by clicking on the picture.
I guess Josh was one of the lucky few that has his pockets lined with cash. I am hoping that Josh does not get laid off and the company will take away his money that he has earned.
I think that with most companies, everyone has good and bad reviews. Depending on where you are working within the company will depend on how much you enjoy working for said company.
Hwei went through the sea of propaganda posters for DS106, but only one of them stood out to him in a meaningful way.
This poster resonated with Hwei, as he is also pushing for the acceptance of AI. The visual representation of how humans and AI can be linked in the mind and body directly aligns with his research. While Hwei’s initial goal was to create an entirely new robot civilization that would attain absolute perfection, Isaiah Beacon and his activism towards creating unity between AI and humans is an interesting idea that piqued Hwei’s interest.
The potential for humans to be turned into robots in the future is something that Hwei might experiment with in the future. The only concern would be the potential ideological clashes between the two individuals, as Hwei will prioritize AI prospering over humankind, no matter the circumstance, while Isaiah would like both entities to coexist.
Regardless of the outcome, Hwei would like to collaborate with Isaiah Beacon in the future to push his own agenda even further.
I don’t blame them.
Sol did view this poster about “The Only Thing Better Than AI is Aggressive Technologies,” which they immediately rolled their eyes to. Of course, Aggressive Technologies is trying to one up their own source of money. Sol thought that it really felt like Aggressive Technologies would be the future, and not a good one. Aggressive Technologies seemed egotistical, powerful, and only searching for more power. Sol is not a fan.
Sol felt a little iffy on this use of AI for surveillance. Without a lot of context, they thought this may be really good and can protect people. However, they did start thinking, “how does the AI decide who is good and who is bad?” and “how does the AI determine if a familar face is safe?” They think they would need to do some more research on this to really understand, but they also think that this does not really even apply to them, so why should they even care?
Sol thinks that there are some good things related to AI, however. They heard the PSA about Dr. Ravioli (who they will admit that they are a big fan of) and Dr. Ravioli’s new AI moped, and they were thinking . . . huh, maybe AI can be a little harmless! They are considering that this is something that could be useful for AI, but they would prefer if this was the norm, not AI taking jobs.
Sol was a big fan of this one! Obviously an artist is going to applaud a PSA about art and how Aggressive Technologies can be a threat to that! They were nodding over and over watching this one.

According to Natasha Sidorov, she was surprised that some negative comments and responses have come out regarding Aggressive Technologies. The word aggressive has a negative connotation, so I looked up the definition. The online dictionary stated: ready or likely to attack or confront. Synonyms were hostile, belligerent and forceful. On the other hand, a positive side of aggression can be being competitive. My character is a cybersecurity employee for the CIA, and she has a contract to lead AI development for Aggressive Technologies. Natasha responded favorably to Don’t Believe Everything You See – I make a propaganda poster – Sydney Says Things (sydneyjadyn.com), because the branding of that poster went with her vision of where Aggressive Technologies is going to go. We don’t agree that AI will completely separate you from meaning relationships as shown in Propaganda Video… Hope Thats OK? – Abiotic Interface. My character and I both support aggressive tech: propaganda poster – here and there it’s everything (feigrace.com).
The following are the privet thoughts of a fictional character in a fictional universe. The opinions expressed here are not to be confused with the author’s personal thoughts and opinions. Any similarities to real people are a coincidence.
Another day and more propaganda. Really another sinister poster trying to convince me to trust a computer? People are full of errors why would something they make be perfect? Well, I am sure the AI are smarter than most people and it would be doing them a favor to trust it.
look another poster…we are so friendly let us help you! It is so funny what the weak will believe.
lol that one was funny. Anyone that knows political history should know what that referenced. I wonder how many people got the warning in it or did everyone think it was just about helping? I want to say it is hard to believe it got past the sensors but not really people are dumb. Oh well you can’t fix stupid just rule over it.
A new video time to check this out.
Wel well an intern made it in the video. I wonder what her online presents is like. I bet there is something I can use here. She could be an easy mark and another way in to get information. Aggressive Technologies admits it openly they are spying on you, and no one bats and eye. That’s still so funny to me “a force for good”. Who’s good? Well soon to be my good after I run the place. No one is going to be allowed to spy on me and control my life. Safety, convenience, and wellbeing my ass. Well, I guess not for the company ha ha ha. Well, I am aggressive because I care to take over. Not a bad commercial I am sure it will do its job for the company. But how to use it for my gain….
I will be using the propaganda poster below by Greta Hammen to respond to. Georgia is, in general, a fan of using AI as a tool. She drank the Aggressive Technologies cool-aid a while ago. She agrees that AT’s AI is there to help, especially since she helped develop it. Georgia may be low in the ranks of developers, but she is still on the team and feels immense pride in being a part of the project. Since she is so proud of it, seeing a promotion makes her happy.
