I'm sure the predictive programming is good for advertising but I wonder how it can predict individual/mass movements of people off the web?  I would think their would need to be more of a video surveillance in place before things like that were a real concern.  

However now that I think about it the use of mobile devices would play a part in tracking and predicting mass movements...  Cry

I don't really use phones, only to talk to family.
It doesn't matter how much you use them. You carry one around with you and that is enough to track your movements, and therefore predict with great accuracy where you will be in the future.

I'm the same way for the most part.  I use them but I don't really enjoy having them around me and on my person.  I do appreciate the technology for what it can do and find the advancements fascinating.

does it blow anyone else's mind how data/information work? like it measures up all of its parts, and some how, each part (us) have some role in the grand scheme of things.. it's like we're all connected.

Using cell phones these algorithms can predict people's movements with 80% accuracy.

Like maybe it can figure out what site I am most likely to visit, or what kind of product I am likely to buy from Amazon. But what will I say about God tomorrow? I doubt it knows.

Predictive technology is the REAL reason behind the giant sucking sound of data coming from the NSA, Google, Facebook, and other private corporations. The more data they collect, the more accurate the predictions become, and with a more refined resolution.

But they can not predict everything. I am pretty sure a few people on the internet have them stumped.
You would be surprised how little it takes to build detailed psychological profiles of individuals and groups. I will give you one example. They can target certain videos or even comments on youtube or facebook. Based on your liking or disliking certain polarizing commentsor videos, they can use this to assemble a point by point psychological build of your ideologies and preferences which will enable them to build a quite accurate psychological profile which can be used to predict your future behavior under XYZ circumstances. This data can even be used to predict reactions on a societal or even global level so human reaction to policy can be tested and refined before they roll it out.

I use Bitcoin, watch FOX (so I can talk shit to them on twitter about how stupid they are), I watch TYT, I watch debates from all different kinds of people. I look like  stoner, I am most well known as a stoner on Facebook and Google searches and stuff. I read books about everything (textbooks and other). Everyone thinks I am an atheist, but I am not. I am a heavy supporter of Texas philosophy but I am openly and loudly anti libertarian (as far as the crazy gun shit and whiteness of it all). I am constantly doing my own PERSONAL analysis of the world from different perspectives and basically creating my own "predictive models" simply by stating what I think goes next...

So I doubt Google could figure out what I am going to do next. I bet if the NSA has been watching me, they probably thought I was going to do something highly criminal one day, until recently, because I have finally started writing a lot online again.
You severely underestimate the power of analytical algorithms. I assure you, you are no enigma.

I am not acting like I am an enigma, I just honestly don't think computers can figure out everyone yet. If you do, that is cool, but I am pretty positive you are wrong.

They are now predicting all kinds of things, like the world cup.
And it is apparently pretty damn accurate. Too bad that octopus died so we can't have a show down.

BigQuery
http://www.reddit.com/r/bigquery/
Well no shit. What do you think IBM does? They try to build these things to analyze big data and make predictions. Make things more efficient. Balh balha blah.  In the end of the day, everything is incremental and relative.  When you're dead and your great grand child is in his 40s, they'll be questioning the same things.

I understand that the technology is not new (they have had randomizers and predictive models forever) but BigQuery is new, and they are getting more data than anyone ever I am pretty sure.
Would've been bought out by now if that was true lol

Google owns it, who is going to "buy it out"? lol
Well there's your answer, already has been bought out lol (I was making an uneducated guess btw).

Google made it, lol

Very soon a lot of newbs on bitcointalk will be real leftists, real right wingers, or not so much real of anything at all. Imagine going back and forth on a thread with "somebody" who never takes a restroom break. Never sleeps. Ever. Scary...  Cheesy




I think Google plans on using BigQuery to create fake people to make Youtube videos.

And Facebook just bought Occulus rift for 2 Billion dollars.
Sixense is working on creating the PERFECT bodysuit for soldiers to be IN the game (their goal is to create training simulators for Israel).
and Play Station is working on stealing everyone's stuff and perfecting it in "Morpheus" which is their new VR set that is coming out.
And Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation can make it where you FEEL what is happening in the game.

Once all this stuff is in Google glass, kids will no longer have to go to school, lol.

Not good for the teacher's union...  Cheesy



LOL

They will still need teachers. We can't expect kids to learn how to write and stuff with glasses.

hmm...

LOL

It will probably be a little more immersive than that. I am pretty sure we are on the verge of Tango Project mapping the world, ARA melding phones and computers and google glass (which will eventually be virtual reality glasses), BigQuery creating randomized environments, Chromecast creating localized mesh Clouds, and Artificial Intelligence (like Watson) answering questions and playing the other characters in the game that aren't you.
