      @jhamby @aral really? I can think of thousands of use cases how Google's AI and services can surprise and delight you.

      I know that Google Now's chief selling point is surprising & delighting you with ads from nearby business marketers. @bad_attitude_en @aral

      The other selling point, “reminding you of stuff that Google knows about you from reading & analyzing your Gmail.” @bad_attitude_en @aral

      @jhamby @aral I still don't get what is so fundamentally wrong with this particular use case.

      I think you're not thinking enough about what things could go wrong. If the AI assumes incorrect things about you. @bad_attitude_en @aral

      Here's a story from 2012 about people not liking ads that follow them around. @bad_attitude_en @aralhttp://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2012/08/the_uncanny_valley_of_internet_advertising_why_do_creepy_targeted_ads_follow_me_everywhere_i_go_on_the_web_.html …

      One way that Google & their ads seem less creepy today is they scan your Gmail to see things you've bought. @bad_attitude_en @aral @fmanjoo

      @jhamby @aral @fmanjoo the point is that I can't see how internet and cloud can evolve without data mining, tracking and AI.

      @bad_attitude_en Problem isn’t the tech; it’s who owns & controls the tech & data: individuals, great; corporations, not. +@jhamby @fmanjoo

          @aral @jhamby @fmanjoo data is the resource. Corporations use it to run business.

          @aral @jhamby @fmanjoo I think that individuals controlling all the data is the utopia.
