"If you aren’t aligned with a human need, you’re just going to build a very powerful system to address a very small — or perhaps nonexistent — problem."
I'm guessing a desire to avoid advertising or a certain corporation's tracking and holding data on me and my family isn't going to be deemed a sufficient human need :P
Additionally, like Facebook, I have no choice because even if I opt out (which I can't do without already opting in), someone else out there taking video and photos and including me opts me in regardless of my feelings.
And yet, apparently cameras and video analysis with the convenient side effect of tracking and identifying me and my loved ones to produce even more Facebook-wall worthy images is a human need.
A cynic (realist) might observe these principals aren't enough to stop one working on a very powerful but non-existent problem that not only doesn't meet the real human need, but might actually be, in overall summation, detrimental :(
