I don’t actually think the machines know everything about you, at least with contemporary technology. At best they get an incomplete picture that might be missing some key information essential for giving you the right advice.
The interesting question though is if the machine had all of the information about you, would it actually be worth listening to? It’s then essentially a question of positivism: does all of the external sensory data about a thing add up to a complete understanding of it? I think not, because there will always be things about ourselves that we don’t know or understand, on a species level.
Neo: I used to eat there. Really good noodles. I have these memories from my life. None of them happened. What does that mean?
Trinity: That the Matrix cannot tell you who you are.
- bamboozled 2y agoPeople change in unpredictable ways, frequently.
- spacecadet 2y agoThose unpredictable ways are often the outcome of subconscious, or conscious desires that erupt in sudden change. As we move through periods of mass uncertainty people seek meaning in what they perceive has the answers. Often gravitating toward change that aligns with those beliefs. To me- the author is correct. Those with purpose most often prevail.
- bamboozled 2y agoThere are a lot of environmental changes that happen to a person too, a loved one gets sick, your child is born, you're experiencing a heat wave, a car crash it's not just about people in a bubble. These events happen to us in very unpredictable ways, daily.

Not only do humans change, moreover they may be changing in ways that a machine built using current technology would be totally unable to predict.
