Has anyone told Amazon that there aren’t distinct physiological signatures for discrete states? Or is physiological emotion monitoring the new (and highly dubious) neuromarketing snake oil? https://t.co/85DafT0qqi

Add this to its: commerce+logistics network, home assistant+surveillance systems, brick & mortar PoS, emerging algo-powered health services, ad tech & human-tracking warehouse devices, and I'd argue that Amazon is doing more to usher in a techno-dystopia than any other SV company https://t.co/SwM7IoHUfQ

Amazon is working on a health-related wearable, via internal documents shared with Bloomberg. Makes a whole lot of sense for a few reasons:
- Amazon doesn't have data about folks on the go
- Gives Alexa a better ability to know things about our health https://t.co/ZNml06ho9P

Let's be honest: Lip service to improving wellbeing aside, the only reason Amazon is working on a device that can read human emotions is to sell us more stuff when we're emotionally vulnerable. Really disturbing stuff. https://t.co/mlMgf2BDYd

“Code-named Dylan,” the Amazon wrist-worn device will have microphones and “software that can discern the wearer’s emotional state from the sound of his or her voice,” and would “eventually advise the wearer how to interact more effectively with others.” https://t.co/Ed31tWq3bv

I don't care if @amazon identifies my feelings, as long as they pay me for them.

Here's Amazon's diagram of its wrist-worn invention that reads emotions and suggests products.

You cough and it asks if you'd like to cough drops within an hour.

Emotion is complex; made up of accrued personal experience, social norms, cultural expectations. Biometrics like Amazon's will only get at a tiny fragment of it. The real danger is accepting that data as truth! https://t.co/hMvvce8bFv
