Re: Amazon's Crystal Ball
This is the type of stuff that really scares me. It's one thing for a
small time crook to steal your SSN and use it to commit fraud. We can make
laws against that. Our system is pretty good about taking care of random
low level crime. But it's a whole other game when huge corporations are
predicting what you will do before you do it. This isa new problem and I
don't think we've figured out how to handle it as a society. Our
government already has enough problems saying no to big corporations; this
will only make it worse.
