I am working on something even deeper. I have been working on a platform for personal data collection. Basically a server and an agent on your devices that records keystrokes, websites visited, active windows etc.
The idea is that I gather this data now and it may become useful in the future. Imagine getting a "helper AI" that still keeps your essence, opinions and behavior. That's what I'm hoping for with this.
eh, a hint. i was digging around some thing in these veins long time ago - more like collecting one's notions, not exact low-level actions - but apart of it being impossible back then, i dropped it for this simple reason: if you build such thing, it will know about you much more than you know. And that, in somebody else's hands.. identity theft would seem like walk in the park.
For sure, thank you for that hint. One of the most important things to consider is that something like this can't be misused on someone else, e.g. as a surveillance tool.
I should have clarified, I'm only building this for myself and my own use, there are no plans to take it further than that. Basically, I am trying to learn while building something that satisfies my own needs.
Not sarcasm. This is more a reaction to big data. Here's an analogy: Imagine cloud providers like iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive etc. As a reaction to those, Owncloud and Nextcloud emerged for personal (well, also business) use.
My idea with this is inspired by that. It's just for personal use and to address my own needs.
