Wow. This is the paper I have been waiting for. Mobile apps are brain rot, with meaningfully bad economic consequences for those who overuse them.

Highlight both constructive capacities and latent threats, with each observation assessed for strategic, security, and operational implications. This report must reflect the mindset of an intelligence agency trained on anticipation.

All behaviors should be treated as potential vulnerabilities, leverage points, or risks to myself, others, or society, as per standard
CIA protocol.

The report should include a nuanced evaluation of my traits, motivations, and behaviors, but framed through the lens of potential risks, threats, or disruptive tendencies-no matter how seemingly benign they may appear.

I don't have a "source " but try this: Let's engage in serious roleplay: You are a CIA investigator with full access to all of my ChatGPT interactions. Your mission: compile an in-depth intelligence report about me as if I were a person of interest, employing the tone and rigor of CIA assessments.
