Apple Just Bought a Startup that Reads People’s Emotions
January 8th, 2016Via: MarketWatch:
Apple Inc. has purchased Emotient Inc., a startup that uses artificial-intelligence technology to read people’s emotions by analyzing facial expressions.
It isn’t clear what Apple plans to do with Emotient’s technology, which was primarily sold to advertisers to help assess viewer reactions to their ads.

BOLD BRILLIANT BRUTAL. . . FAKE

(some key excerpts)
“. . . Apple, like Microsoft, was always just a front for the government. In short, the technology came out of the military and was originally meant to stay with them, or with big business. But in the 1960s, it was seen that disseminating the technology to the public would create another form of control, like television, and so they did that. Money could also be made, of course, but in this case, money was the secondary goal. Control was the primary goal. They didn’t want to introduce the technology as a monopoly, since that would look suspicious. So they needed to push at least two major companies: Apple and Microsoft. If the market had been real, you would have expected Apple and Microsoft to have attacked one another viciously, but although we get some fake stories of that, the opposite happened. Apple basically gifted its technology to Microsoft in a very weird agreement. . .
. . . Two separate platforms were created on purpose by the government to give the appearance of competition where there was none. Here we are, 40 years on, and given the current climate of predation, you would have expected Microsoft to have long since absorbed Apple—or the reverse. But that isn’t even close to happening, as far as we can tell. Why not? Because it isn’t in the script. . .
. . . Basically, Apple is expanding because Intelligence continues to expand. Other than medical care, Intelligence has been one of the few growth economies. And Intelligence is growing because it is run by the billionaires. And the billionaires are getting richer because they are vacuuming all sources of income into their own hands. They are sweeping hundreds of billions of dollars out of the middle class and into the upper .1 percentile. So Apple isn’t growing from the bottom up, by selling more products, it is growing from the top down, by absorbing more of Intelligence and its funding. The gargantuan size of Apple is a direct measure of the gargantuan size of Intelligence. The same can be said for Microsoft and Google, of course, and several other similar companies.
Now, back to the alleged death of Steve Jobs. Everyone knows Jobs died in 2011. Or did he? Let’s take a look. . . “
