     the core issue with doing this open source, is that you're still
     going to need invasive privacy destroying data collection to drive

   Are you sure about this?  Couldn't a user provide their own keystrokes,
   mouse movements, etc and fine-tune a personalised model on their own
   system?

     the prediction. even if you could make an open source, open data
     facestab or gaggle YOU SHOULD NOT because it's a privacy nightmare!

   Certainly a model that uses many peoples' data would be stronger than
   one with only one person's data.  But wouldn't it be _better_ to have
   this data out in the public than held privately by marketing and
   military organisations?
   Then people could tell when they were being profiled, because the data
   would be added to a public store.

     playing with behavioral profiles and advertising models in the
     context of internet marketing would be an eye opener for most
     people. they are simply unaware of the invasive sophistication
     of these technologies...
     interesting technology, even if prone to global scale abuse...

   I'm sure there is public technology around behavior prediction among
   the research communities already.  It's been around for a while.

   I've seen other messages crop up on this list since I last posted but
   haven't found the time to read them yet.
