66 years ago, #JFK, a #Catholic, was elected President with the help of #MLK and those who believed in the rights of Blacks. It was more than that, though: #Simulmatics, an #AI company

This was a great read. A historical view on how manipulation has recently evolved and whether we like it or not is impacting us now. #jilllepore #simulmatics #data #AI #books #goodreads #Statistics #DataScience #DataAnalytics
#Simulmatics : le #bigdata au service de la manipulation politique 50 ans avant Facebook.
Ce livre retrace la passionnante histoire de Simulmatics, une entreprise tombée dans l’oubli, et pionnière des « big data » à des fins de manipulation politique https://t.co/f7UELJRsHP
#Simulmatics cofounder Ithiel de Sola Pool predicted in 1968 that there would be "personal newspapers" in the future. News tailored to the reader. "We move from party politics into interest politics and identity politics." - Jill Lepore #CHMLive
#Simulmatics work in Cold War counter-insurgency wasn't very different from political interference on social media today. The winning was in the "hearts and minds". #CHMLive
"It's like the Manhattan Project of the social sciences. It will change everything about how we know and what we know, what lies in the possibility of the field." - Jill Lepore about #Simulmatics #CHMLive
"It shouldn't have taken a computer to understand [the Civil Rights Movement's importance to black voters in 1960]. It was a bunch of mystified white liberal men trying to understand what black voters wanted and what women wanted." - Jill Lepore on #Simulmatics #CHMLive
Did the #UNIVAC's prediction in the 1952 election inspire #Simulmatics founder Edward L. Greenfield to use computer technology to predict human behavior? Jill Lepore says yes. #CHMLive
Very timely book on the story of the world‘s first „people machine“ driven by the company #Simulmatics and the beginning of #algorithmic decision making in more and more areas of private and public life. 👾🤖👍🏻👎🏽
Silicon Valley’s belief that it can optimize society goes back a long way, as Jill Lepore argues in her new book “If Then.” Technologists need to know this long, complicated history of "people analytics." https://t.co/epqBsfWXTW
Long Before #CambridgeAnalytica And #Facebook, #Simulmatics Linked #Data And #Politics

Using #DataAnalytics in election campaigns has come a long way. As the Cambridge Analytica of the 1960s, #Simulmatics was crucial to the JFK win. Going bankrupt in the 70s, their mission has become the mission of most companies in the 2000s - collecting data, detecting patterns.
