Re: A tangent, but maybe an interesting one?

Hi Moses,

I’m the Chair of IEEE’s #P7006 - the standard for a single (human) AI is exactly what we’re working on.

One of the aims is for the AI to be able to process T&Cs or “offers” and assess bias and downstream consequences.

If your interested in contributing to the work, let me know.

Hi everyone,

I just wrote an article about psychometrics — the stuff Cambridge Analytica used — and how it might interact with decentralized ID.
See: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/the-tao-innovation/201806/the-psychometrics-decentralization


I'm wondering if there might be some way to harden the DID system against manipulative psychometrics. I mean, beyond non-correlation. In the article, I proposed a fanciful intelligent assistant app, like a Siri for the forces of good, that knows your psychometric type, and whenever something looked manipulative in an ad or in your Facebook feed, it could check to see the reputation of the poster and warn you.

However, this would require a framework for reputation. Instead, I'm thinking there may be something easier and simpler.

For example, instead of requiring some proof of work – via Equihash - to post something, how about using Equihash to make it through your spam filter? Or better yet, send a few cents to a charitable cause, to make it into your feed, ad queue, inbox.

You have any ideas?

Moses
