Google will interpose itself, and hence the United States government, between the communications of every human being not in China (naughty China).
With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting.
What alarmed him about the NSA's activities was that no one was in charge: this had become a system that was, as he put it to journalist Glenn Greenwald, "automatically ingesting" vast amounts of human communications, indiscriminately, blindly, idiotically.
He fears that people surreptitiously using Glass as a teleprompter, perhaps to seem more knowledgeable, could put at "risk the very frankness and honesty of human communications".Less high-flown criticisms include complaints that the technology is clunky and overhyped.
"The volume, variety and velocity of human communications makes our mission more difficult each day," General Alexander's predecessor, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, told the Senate in 2002: "N.S.A. had competed successfully for four decades against a resource-poor, oligarchic, technologically inferior and overly bureaucratic nation-state.
But that says nothing about the reality of human communications.
This will radically increase the speed and bandwidth of human communications".
Given the ridiculous mass of human communications the NSA collects, both domestically and globally, perhaps not.
Since the way we speak often has nothing to do with the reality that surrounds us, machines are -- and will continue to be -- puzzled by the metaphorical nature of human communications.
But even though Facebook and it's incessantly saccharine videos are obviously bad for not just your own psychology and attention span but the environment too (you diabolical, cat loving, video sharing, data consuming monster!), it's still actually quite good in that it limits the carbon footprint of human communications.
