Speaker 1 (00:00):
The headline is that Colorado's governor signed a bill that
would extend privacy rights to consumer neural data collected by
technology companies. This is the idea that any of the
modern technology that gets some of your brain waves or
something like that, that is your information and other and
they can't sell it and spread it around. Colorado the
(00:20):
first state to do that. I don't understand why we're
so behind Europe on this whole The data is well,
I do know why, because Google and everybody lobbies Congress.
But the fact that we haven't risen up and demanded
it is amazing to me yet that all this data
belongs to us. But here's here inside the story. I
found this interesting. They're talking about these headbands that you
wear that have brain waves and stuff like that. There
(00:43):
is a popular dating app I forget what the name
of it is that purports to provide better matches by
having your brain waves and matching you up with people
with similar brain waves. I had not heard about this.
So you put on this headband, go to this dating app,
(01:04):
and then they monitor your brain somehow and get the
numbers and try to match you up with somebody else.
And their slogans, their slogan. I know, wow, Psychics are like,
what are you serious? Right? Psychics and chiropractors are you like?
Please hold mom? Oh, hey, hey, hey, So the uh
(01:25):
their slogan is listen to your heart is not enough.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I want to know the name of this. I'm working
on it, Sarah Bellove it is. It's on here somewhere
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I can't find them the name. But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if any of you done the dating
app where they use your brain waves to match you
up with somebody.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Oh, that's ridiculous. Sign people who felt for lumps on
your head and predicted your future at the aten years.
You know, who knows? Who knows? There might be something
to it. This sounds like a uh, you know, somebody
read in article in wired dot com or something about
brain waves and thought, you know, if we put some
like some wires into a tennis headband, I claim that
(02:09):
we're actually let me think about that.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I'm not mocking the idea that there might be a
way to match people's brains. I'm mocking the idea that
their equipment does anything.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That's what I'm mocking.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Tennis headband some wires sticking out of it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh, we've found an excellent match for you. Yes, yes,
