what scares me about these things is what typically happens when people are given probabilistic prognoses. your behavior is analyzed, a system makes a prediction, "60% chance of XY". whoever reads the result is primed to think XY is already true, or almost true. just look at the way scientific results are accepted in the public. qualify it all you like, the effect it leaves seems to me to be stronger than the actual result. we're already forced in many ways to indirectly signal our responsibility. e.g. we dress in suits for a reason. this is unavoidable to some extent, of course. but, if in the future some trivial constellation of facts which we can not influence starts to cast shadows over our possibilities, the world will become completely schizophrenic.
