Muse maker Interaxon reportedly trained AI on users’ de-identified brainwave data, then revised its privacy policy after journalists asked questions.
Muse sleepband?
Oh yah, this can’t possibly cause problems
At this point, assume anything associated with the company called “meta”, “Facebook”, or other related properties, and anything relating to their AI “Muse” is probably harvesting your data to train AI, or it is being sold to third parties for advertisements.
The service is “free” because you are the product being sold. They don’t charge the trees for taking their apples.
Also, assume anything to do with “AI” or any company that has their own “AI”, as well as anything publicly accessible on the Internet, is being used as training data.
Be sure to interject white text on a white background of poison training data. People won’t see it, and AI will get so fucked up in the long run.
Muse are a band. I will never not think of the band. It’s a stupid name for AI
Jesus
Like people aren’t wearing smart watches or generally using smart phones and laptops. It’s a bit naïve to think we haven’t already added our data into companies
You should learn to value your privacy.
‘Muse’ and ‘Sleep’ are both bands. This really confused me.
There are some muse songs I really like, and they are my biggest guilty pleasures. Why am I so ashamed of liking them? (Time is Running Out, Knights of Cydonia)
Why would you be ashamed of liking knights of Cydonia for example? Ain’t it widely recognized as a great song?
They collect your data when you listen to them
Yeah, well, joke’s on them! I’m collecting data on them about what kind of songs they write and perform!!
“Muse anal probe users weren’t told that the collected data was used to train AI” - stop using Meta products, you dimwits.
The year-long investigation found that Canadian company Interaxon, which makes the Muse sleep and meditation headband, was using the data that it collected from users’ brains to train AI.
RTFA
🤦
Company known for creepy unethical practices creates new product no one wants for even creepier and even less ethical practices.
Seriously, i couldn’t care less if it was the most magnificant product in the world. If its from zuc the cuck I’ll skip it.
It’s not. Meta has nothing to do with this.
What does that even mean? If you’re using the device as intended, it collects a few changing numbers while you’re presumably laying in bed asleep. You can train a computer to be able to answer “If somebody is wearing a brain wave monitor and these are the readings, is that person asleep?” Maybe they can infer sleep quality? These types of scanner cannot tell what you are thinking.
If it connects to the internet don’t connect it to your body. Finger prints, face ID, blood sugar, brain waves, online DNA services.
I honestly don’t know what they expected. Or why they’d pay money for the thing in the first place.
Same shit that Oura ring wearers or people who upload exercise or sleep data are doing, but scarier. F this.
“de-identified”… Right
People should probably start realising that Capitalism is completely incompatible with Privacy. …and incompatible with ‘freedom’, and ‘Democracy’ and in general, incompatible with any type of nice world to live in, environment, bio diversity and so on… Its not even necessary for ‘innovation’, ‘incentives’ or any of the other made up claims…
Not sure why some people still support that harmful anti-scientific/ideological belief system, but I guess the Oligarchs constant propaganda and manufacturing consent has something to do with it. Oh well…
You put it beautifully. Still most people have fallen in love with the golden idol of greed.
I heard somewhe this: A lot of people believe they are one win away from being rich, while they are really two missed paychecks from being in the streets.
black mirror irl
We’re getting closer and closer to that bit in Futurama where they beamed ads into your dreams.
