      With this data, Amazon won't be able to just sell you clothes or judge you. It could analyze if you're depressed or pregnant and much else.pic.twitter.com/irc0tLVce9

      The algorithms will judge you based on their training data, so you can also enjoy the tsk-tsk of fashion industry in a more robust fashion!

      Machine learning algorithms can do so much with regular full length pictures of you. They can infer private things you did not disclose.

      This kind of data can reveal a lot about your health status, too. Also. Sexual orientation? Big five personality? All your moods? Likely.

      Amazon's Echo Look can likely predict clinical depression months *before* onset of clinical symptoms. Will it be used to avoid hiring you?

          All this to sell you more clothes. We are selling out to surveillance capitalism that can quickly evolve into authoritarianism for so cheap.

          So, they also didn't answer if they will sell the data to third parties, let alone what analyses they will do. https://twitter.com/jason_koebler/status/857260082450636800 …

          Wait. Is this a joke, or real? I'm sorry if I'm being stupid... but how could it do that?

          Very real. If you have enough recording of someone and know what to look for, you can reliably detect a number of medical issues.

          How many clinical diagnoses will be in the training data? How many w/ depression in data won't be diagnosed? You're dreaming.

          It will make mistakes on poorly sampled communities—first to mind are people with disabilities and/or atypical neurology. #ADA?
