You think of something and then open instagram and see content related to exactly what you’re thinking. I didn’t even say talking cos I know microphones and ai can work that. Just thinking!

Since 2018 they have already made cchips that can understand and hack the mind, can read your soul thoughts by just Ur eye looking into the camera. THis is just the early stage and they will improve the on it.. technology is spiritual.

Oga it's called algorithm. Whatever key word you press on your phone, an impression will be created to that phone and bring what you want. You might have typed something related to your mind somewhere. It could be the Ai on your phone and since WhatsApp and IG is the same owner it creates such impression and bring what you want to see. It's not about mind hacking.

It has always been there but you didn't notice because your mind wasn't there.

Lots of things are happening at the present but humans are way tooo distracted!

It just a case of them using data and machine learning to predict content we are most likely to engage with.

Algorithm doesn't know what is on your mind. It only uses your activity record online to determine what to show to you. What you searched on google, the videos you watch, etc.

Lol...Technology on next level called Spiritology grin

Anyway, jokes aside ...Google displays content to you based on your previously searched queries.

That could also be a reason.

The inspiration behind invention may be spiritual BUT the actual Technology and all of its implementation is NOT spiritual.

No one has made technology that reads the human mind, at least nothing of sort is commercial, talkless of putting it in tiny devices.

Internet is now like our everyday market. Virtually evrything sold in real life is being sold online and someone is running ads to get more sale. What OP is experiencing is just pure coincidence.

Next time you think of something totally random, try not to tell anyone or say it, don't google it., you'll not see it on your socials.

Nope. And if that happens, it's because you've clicked on something about it or related to that thing previously, either on Instagram or in another website.

It has everything to do with AI

Word.

For instance anytime I start thinking of school being a scam and I hop on the internet, that's exactly the moment when I will start seeing lot of motivational speakers talking about it.

Not once not twice, same goes for other things I've thought about.

This is Algorithm at play. It connects many of your activities online to suggest your thoughts.

He is saying something else entirely. Learn to read and understand please.

STOP ASSUMING EVERYONE ON THIS PLATFORM IS DUMB! WE ARE IN A WORLD WHERE INFORMATION IS JUST A CLICK AWAY. The OP might have done his own research on Algorithms, Internet crawlers and the likes.

I have had a personal experience that left me in shock. In my case, i was talking to a friend about an item. NOTE: I DIDN"T CLICK OR SEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THE MACHINE.

When i tried checking instagram later that night, I saw adverts on the same industrial machine. I had to disable many apps that had permission to my microphone.

SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE.

We live in a world where DATA is money. Facebook had betrayed its s in the past and guess what? they own instagram and threads.

I repeat, SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE.

How many of us are conscious of the stock applications on our mobile phone and the rights in which they operate and function?

How many of us have checked our system applications and done a deep research on the functions of each system app?

Update

To those quoting my mention and talking thrash, I will simply say that you are not different from an average Nigerian.

In other places, this would trigger the need for research to ascertain if this is true and the faces behind it. But in this part of the world where people pay money to learn about "London Bridge" and the "Queen of England" instead of "Tudun Tsira - Jebba bridge" or "Queen Amina of Zaria", what should i expect?

What should I expect from a people who do not research but believe that everything from the WEST is BEST.

What should i expect from a people with bogus certificates but cannot challenge what they are being taught to ascertain factuality.

Same here.

These tech companies have succeeded in spying on the contents of our thoughts and imaginations.

The devices they own, which they didn't force us to buy, have now become espionage.

Tech companies know more than 70% of our top and private secrets through their devices on our hands. Ironically, we can't do without these gadgets.

Gadgets are the ultimate mind readers.

We are cooked.

This doesn’t only happen to iPhone s. Whatever interests you, you tend to search on it so the algorithm of instagram, YouTube or whatever platforms will bring those related contents to your feeds.
