So the author is recording all their interactions with everyone they meet and then processing and analysing those intetactions. How is this not a massive invasion of privacy?

I see he is concerned about his own, but he doesn't seem to be at all concerned with anyone elses. Personally if i discovered that someone I interacted with was doing this I would insist that they deleted any data concerning myself they had gathered and pursue whatever means were available to me if they refused.



I was pondering this as I read, as well. I would be a bit disconcerted to find that a coworker was recording EVERYTHING they say all day and that meant I was on those recordings throughout the week. The lack of any acknowledgement of that piece in this writeup is a little confusing... I don't question their intent but I do question their lack of awareness of others (based on the writing).


I am using it only with friends and family around, and tell them beforehand about the experiment
