  And yet the technology exists. Who would you rather use it: those who sell to develop a responsible framework for using it or those who seek to abuse it? This tech is only going to become more accurate and more widespread over time. Ignoring it isn't an option. We've got little to no idea how to responsibly use human emotion as an input and decades worth of collective experience on how to exploit it. The potential for abuse is high, which means extreme transparency is needed, at the very least. Operating at an emotional level requires a whole new set of metrics and a fundamental shift in how we do anything. Better to figure it out now than to wait until the tech becomes ubiquitous. Those looking to exploit the tech most definitely won't wait for that day. A few people I've spoken to about it were eager to explore the tech purely for the sake of improving sales of various things. I changed the subject with them after realizing they had little regard for human life in this context. People concerned about this need to band together to find ways to productively use it and defend against its misuse. I've been working on such a framework, if anyone's interested in exploring it with me.
