We can call it "listening" or "phrase recognition". They're the same. Now, maybe when phrase #1 is detected, action #1 is preformed. But then if phrase #2 is detected, then action #2 is preformed. However, that action #1 talks to you, and you're made aware of that, doesn't mean that action #2 needs to let you in on it all.
Not sure how this is "new age", these guys are all long gone, dead.
Viktor Schauberger observed trout in a stream and wondered why the fish doesn't have to swim like hell to stay steady in the stream (the stream doesn't push the fish down the stream, as it does with other material in the stream). So he wondered what the mechanism was that held the fish there. He eventually discovered that it's the shape of the fish that enables this. He noticed that the fish has the same shape when looked at from the front, side, or top. And it's due to this shape that the fish is held by the water. How? Look it up, it's terribly interesting.
Walter Russell designed a better way of listing the various elements. We all use a chart that lays elements out by their atomic weight. But Russell came up with a layout that goes by their harmonics. Turns out that by using this method, he was able to determine that certain (undiscovered at the time) elements must exist. One of these elements was plutonium.
Alan Watts... I'll admit that he's not a structured scientist, and at the same time his deep understanding of his own Self provided us westerners with some of the most in-depth understanding of eastern philosophy, and cleared up so many misunderstandings between culture, and provided a very (unused) method to look beyond our culture. (sarcasm)Say what you will about the value of that, but when it comes to social engineering, what FaceBook provides is juuuussst shy of the mark laid out by Alan. (/sarcasm)
Patanjali... All I can say about this guy is that you should read Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
But what people still don't seem to get is that these devices are not recording 24/7. They monitor for the trigger names to activate...
You said "record", but I don't know why. It's silly to think that a voice-operated device is only listening when you say a certain phrase. Obviously it's listening all the time, otherwise how would it hear the phrase?
The whole thing is full of holes or reason. Perhaps the biggest blunder is the first words, "DUTIES OF LARGE ONLINE OPERATORS". But they never define what "LARGE" means. But I take it to mean that if you and I started a web page of some kind and daily have around 20 people visit it, I assume we wouldn't be included in these requirements. But hey, you never know.
I'm certain that science will eventually understand how these men did what they did. But at that point, "science" will be more about the internal reality, and less about the external world.
He's probably talking about this interesting bit from the bill:
IN GENERAL —An association of large online operators may register as a professional standards body by filing with the Commission an application for registration in such form as the Commission, by rule, may prescribe containing the rules of the association and such other information and documents as the Commission, by rule, may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for protecting the welfare of users of large online operators.
DUTIES OF LARGE ONLINE OPERATORS: Any large online operator that engages in any form of behavioral or psychological research based on the activity or data of its users shall—
(1) disclose to its users on a routine basis, but not less than once each 90 days, any experiments or studies that user was subjected to or enrolled in with the purpose of promoting engagement or product conversion;
(2) disclose to the public on a routine basis, but not less than once each 90 days, any experiments or studies with the purposes of promoting engagement or product conversion being currently undertaken, or concluded since the prior disclosure;
(3) shall present the disclosures in paragraphs (1) and (2) in a manner that— (A) is clear, conspicuous, context-appropriate, and easily accessible; and (B) is not deceptively obscured;
(4) establish an Independent Review Board for any behavioral or psychological research, of any purpose, conducted on users or on the basis of user activity or data, which shall review and have authority to approve, require modification in, or disapprove all behavioral or psychological experiments or research; and
(5) ensure that any Independent Review Board established under paragraph (4) shall register with the Commission, including providing to the Commission
The problem is that most Americans don't understand it because of laws like this one.
No, the problem is that the corporations' tax is paid in the form of a bribe, or lobbying. I haven't a clue what sort of tax they'd have to pay, if they paid their fare share, but I'm willing to be that FaceBook, Google, Microsoft and Amazon could all start another planet with the taxes that they'd pay - IF they paid their taxes.
The thought of some chump-ass companies like H&R Block or Turbo Taxes being able to buy a monopoly, really makes my blood boil.
Just think, if the IRS could give us a simple program to do our taxes, I'll bet it would be as simple as paying your taxes at the grocery store. Probably the EXACT amount would be removed from our paychecks, and the whole bit about paying taxes or there even being a tax season, could just vanish without a trace.
Seems proper to me. Here they are, the big-wigs meeting about the role that social media plays in fueling hate. YouTube, a social media platform would be super stupid to NOT turn off the hate in such a situation.
You must mean the CIA. The FBI just had to have a third-party come do an investigation for them, and that 3rd-party didn't come up with what it seemed the FBI wanted. Dunno.
But it does seem that any person or organisation today, that has authority, is totally taking advantage of everything/everyone possible with said authority.
You're very correct, and that's why it's important for western society to ditch this stupid practice of "social media". Because what you're describing about eastern society will soon be western society, too.
I keep seeing people talking about FaceBook being morally bankrupt, but their moral compass points to always keeping the investors rich. So it's not just FaceBook that's morally bankrupt, but all of western society. Which, oddly enough, it's mostly western society that's giving their private information to FaceBook, so...
Google told you, when you signed up for their free stuff, that they'd go through it all in the name of adverts. You said, "OK". So now when they're going through people's stuff, if they find things that point to illegal activity, you think they're evil if they send it to the police?
Exactly. The whole thing is a shit-show of money being more important than reason, those who have investors, and which "side" they're on. "The People" are like muted pets on the side of it all.
I certainly don't mean to start a political discussion over this, but I don't think there's anything to do with balls when it comes to politicians. Had they balls, they'd be doing more along the lines of reason. No, these guys get paid to push laws/regulation.
If there are balls out there, it's Amazon, Facebook, Google, Netflix and Twitter that're bribing, I mean lobbying, to keep net neutrality. With the way things have gone so far, it's a wonder why anyone even cares. The next president can just wave a pen around words on an executive order and bring it back, or visa-versa.
Sometimes I wish they'd just turn the internet off and we can all get back to real life.

Both of you guys are forgetting that there's an American base in Cuba. Some people are there. I hear it sucks.
You know, I don't understand why more extreme right wing people didn't vote for Hillary
Because they didn't vote for anyone?

Forget about 'what is biased' and consider 'what is large'.
The whole thing is full of holes or reason. Perhaps the biggest blunder is the first words, "DUTIES OF LARGE ONLINE OPERATORS". But they never define what "LARGE" means. But I take it to mean that if you and I started a web page of some kind and daily have around 20 people visit it, I assume we wouldn't be included in these requirements. But hey, you never know.
If you're really interested in science, you should check out the work of these folks:
Viktor Shauberger.
Walter Russell
Alan Watts (just a link to a youtube search of his name)
Then finish it all off with Patanjali

30% of the people that use computers, don't know how to use computers. And 98% of the people that use computers don't know how computers use them.

Conspiracy noun
1 : the act of conspiring together
2a : an agreement among conspirators
2b : a group of conspirators
Gosh, everyone's always gotta have a conspiracy theory.
...Mark Zuckerberg should have his mansion raided, items seized and brought before a court of law over his crimes.
At $15/month that's waaay cheaper than taking my kid to a movie, or out to a water park or out.... oh wait. I see what they did there.

Please don't jump. I'll meet you in the South-East corner. We can hang out. I'll show you how to use Linux.
