I've noticed the same actually. Ads appearing on my Facebook wall about topics I've recently talked about but without typing anything about.. And I don't even use the Facebook App on my phone, I only access it via Chrome.

    Or maybe just one of those friends did an online search for the subject matter while connected to the same wifi. I get FB ads all the time for things my wife has accessed online and she doesn't use FB at all, pretty sure it's the common external IP address that they match up.

    Google does the same thing. Before I opted out of targeted ads and used adblock full time, I would regularly see adverts for things I had spoken aloud about, but never ever typed on the computer.

    Duncan Booth wow I'd say that's a big intrusion of Facebook. The shouldn't be able to track what everyone in the same IP are doing online. Total violation of privacy.

    eric peacock at least I would trust Google a bit more than Facebook with this kind of information. Though it's totally wrong of them to spy on us like that, without being totally transparent about it.

Exactly!

Exactly! Since I got my Note 10.1 end of last year I don't use notebooks, diaries, agendas nor do I print .pdfs anymore =) It feels so clean and organized not having loads of paper on your desk and always being able to access all of your notes and files everywhere.. ;) Give it a try! I'm also not buying printed books anymore, we already carry lots of things with us in our homes, imagine the space and trees you would save if all of your books were digital.. I can see a much more spacious house!

#artificialintelligence   Originally shared by Gideon Rosenblatt Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence I just hit the publish button on this one, and I think it may be one of my better articles in a while. It's an attempt at a bigger perspective on what's happening with things like Deep Learning (and other forms of machine learning and artificial intelligence), as well as Google's Knowledge Graph and even its "Knowledge Vault ." In this piece, I try to explain how these new technologies fit together. I also try to show how  these latest breakthroughs are still part of a long arch in human history, a continuation of our efforts to pull tacit knowledge from the biology of our minds and bodies and embed it as explicit knowledge into a new container.  I hope you enjoy this one. I enjoyed writing it.  #knowledge   #knowledgegraph   #artificialintelligence   #knowledgevault   People I believe might be interested in this one because of past comments or posts: D...

Sensationalism against robots..

Sensationalism against robots.. Originally shared by Wayne Radinsky A security robot was "put to work in San Francisco in an attempt to deter homeless people from forming tent cities." But it had to stop because the City of San Francisco ordered the robot off the sidewalks. "Knightscope's robots don't fight humans; they use equipment like lasers, cameras, a thermal sensor, and GPS to detect criminal activity and alert the authorities." "The robot's owner, the San Francisco SPCA, said it has seen fewer tents and car break-ins since it deployed the robot in the city's Mission neighborhood." http://www.businessinsider.com/security-robots-are-monitoring-the-homeless-in-san-francisco-2017-12
