So you're saying there's a final frontier in the mapping of intention and the discernment of preferences ... and you'd like some bright young things to explore that possibility space under the guise of (unimpeachable good cause) ?

Go to hell.

Unless, of course, you'd like to commit the funded work to the free commons, unencumbered by patents and copyrights, and free to use by any entity for any purpose.

That's what we'd do for ALS, right ?

I can make an eye tracking keyboard with tensor flow, if anyone is interested in this problem.

It would be great to hear from paul about how his friend uses the keyboard and what kind of tasks he’d love to do but can’t with current solutions.

It seems like a throughput problem to me. How can you type quickly using only your eyes?

Have people explored using small phonetic alphabets or Morse code style encoding?

Once I got tensorflow working, I’d start mapping different kinds of ux. Throughput is king.

I don't understand the hostility?

Eye tracking is essentially a model of visual attention. Visual attention is part of the overall attention space and big companies and use-cases are built around visual attention. Today we track attention by explicit interactions, if we can model around implicitly observable interactions - then we have a much larger observable data space around the user.,

This comment makes me think we’ve gone too far and I should shut off my phone.

Indeed, it's time to re-learn how to live without the Internet and such advanced technology.

Im something of a conspiracy theorist myself, but this is irrational and unwarranted: if they wanted to research something strategic, they could easily summon the brain power (see OpenAI and the creation of near-general intelligence, and then ask where Facebooks $40B on metaverse smokescreen went to.)

PG is a good guy - he sides with entrepreneurs, and created an industry-wide standard for a founder friendly seed stage investment deal (called a SAFE) in a world of hugely predatory deal makers. And from his twitter its pretty clear that he's biased towards fairness and humanity in general.

Read some of PG's essays. People dont share deep insights and knowledge like that for free if they are made of the wrong stuff.
