The same thing you do with everyone's Amazon purchase habits, porn watching habits, and their social media behaviour: sell it!
The only real question is to what end, and to be honest one need only look at the dystopia the CCP are creating with their survielence model in Xianjing to see how pernicious this all is when it's in the wrong hands.
You have entities hell bent on creating some sort of minority report type prediction system, though to be honest I think it's more like Psycho Pass at this point: one where their is a clear divide between classes of people and their obedience to the system, which I guess in this case would be 'the Orb.'
In psycho pass it's a sort of Hivemind of the most brilliant to the most violent members of society to try and predict any and all possible outcomes.
Silicon Valley tropes have bled into real life for far too long, be it wokeness, to the fomenting of discord via social media as a business model to sway elections (something intelligence agencies and political parties have clearly made use of) or create discord in Society and to be honest it's exactly why SV's influence has to be curbed. The honest answer to what they will do with the data is: we can't possibly know, and that's why it shouldn't be done.
Auroracoin was trying to achieve a UBI drop in Iceland as a response to the calamity from the 2008 financial crisis, with noble goals but failed in 2014, and while I think it is something that I think should warrant more focus from developers and VC money it's hard to envision how they completely bypassed how Microsoft's ION [1] has been working on ID on the Bitcoin blockchain for years they could have built on top of.
I'd normally lambast anything MS has done, but it's open source and operates over the most secure network, why are we allowing Altman and his YC/SV cronies to hi-jack the narrative that collectively those of us in this space have been working on trying to address this in a trust-less manner for nearly a decade?!

- csee 5y agoWhy would the hashes be useful to anyone? The iris scanning tech, yes absolutely. But the hashes would be useless.
