Muse maker Interaxon reportedly trained AI on users’ de-identified brainwave data, then revised its privacy policy after journalists asked questions.
We’re getting closer and closer to that bit in Futurama where they beamed ads into your dreams.
Why anyone would connect a brainwave scanner to the internet and the wear for 8 hours every night it is beyond me. I’ve run out of sympathy. This is like slathering yourself in blood and jumping into a shark tank.
At a certain point, personal accountability for your privacy has got to enter the conversation with normal people.
I hear what you are putting out there but I can absolutely sympathize with the users. I suffer from chronic insomnia. My worst episode was when I go no more than 90 minutes of light sleep per 24 hour period for a stretch of about two months. It landed me in the hospital, on suicide watch, paranoid, and a lot more.
Once sleep gets bad for long enough, you’d try anything.
Money, probably.
