    Poop jokes and big tech’s data hunger aside, this seems to me one of the more useful applications of AI: Checking for early signs of medical problems.

      I have Crohns. This would help monitor disease activity for sure. And having more data could help understand triggers better.

      During covid, cities were testing the sewage to get an idea how many people had covid. We should have like a lever to tell the toilet who is shitting, and it could route the waste to a personal testing chamber.

        Or just an extra upward facing camera.

      It’s distressing just how freaking similar the sales pitch is too.

      What I’m loathed to even call the “real product”: It’s time to stop flushing away valuable data.

      The fake one: If I had information that could save your life or the life of your family members, would you flush that?

      Just… wow

      I actually interviewed for a data science role with this company a couple years ago. They were definitely cagey about what the actual product was for the initial screenings and then when they finally opened up about the role and …duties… of poop data scientist, it was actually pretty funny.
