China Is Now Data-Mining Directly From The Brains Of Workers

China is deploying emotional surveillance technology that mines data from the minds of its citizens. Essentially, they’re data mining by reading their brains.

The light-weight sensory helmets have been rolled out on an industrial scale. The mind data-mining and emotional surveillance programs are eerily similar to trends in the United States to monitor and probe the mental health of its citizens through facial recognition.

This past spring, Facebook landed in hot water over a data leak which felt like a major privacy violation to millions of its users…

…But China was taking data mining to the next level.

Around the same time, however, China quietly reported that its government is openly fishing data from workers’ minds: making a Facebook leak pale in comparison.

South Morning China Post describes a typical production line at Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric and reports:

[…]the workers wear caps to monitor their brainwaves, data that management then uses to adjust the pace of production and redesign workflows, according to the company.

The company said it could increase the overall efficiency of the workers by manipulating the frequency and length of break times to reduce mental stress.

Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric is just one example of the large-scale application of brain surveillance devices to monitor people’s emotions and other mental activities in the workplace, according to scientists and companies involved in the government-backed projects.

The wireless sensors are concealed under a normal uniform hat and constantly monitor brain waves while sending the data back into main computers that use AI algorithms to detect any unpleasant emotional spikes such as “depression, anxiety or rage.”

In addition, a special camera watches their facial expressions and their body temperatures are monitored. Pressure sensors detect all shifts in body language.
Of course, it’s funded by the government.

Neuro Cap is a central government-funded brain surveillance project at Ningbo University where a lot of the research takes place. It’s been implemented in more than a dozen factories and businesses including train drivers working on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail line using the technology from Deayea company in Shanghai.

The built-in sensors in the brim of the hats can sound an alarm if the rail driver starts to fall asleep.

The application of this emotional surveillance extends to hospitals and in the military which no one will comment on. Instead of using it on hospital employees, however, it is used to monitor patients in case of a “violent outburst.”

Jin Jia, associate professor of brain science and cognitive psychology at Ningbo University’s business school explains:

When the system issues a warning, the manager asks the worker to take a day off or move to a less critical post. Some jobs require high concentration. There is no room for a mistake.

Of course, she notes the initial fear and suspicion of employees but that after a while “they got used to the device. It looked and felt just like a safety helmet. They wore it all day at work.”

“They thought we could read their mind. This caused some discomfort and resistance in the beginning,” she said.

They probably had this strange idea that they could read their minds because they were literally reading their minds.

The plan is for the technology to be used as a “mental keyboard” where commands from the brains of the wearer are executed by thought.

It’s increasing profits, which means this will spread.

Right now, it is significantly increasing profits and giving China an edge on other markets.

SCMP states:

The technology is also in use at in Hangzhou at State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power, where it has boosted company profits by about 2 billion yuan (US$315 million) since it was rolled out in 2014, according to Cheng Jingzhou, an official overseeing the company’s emotional surveillance programme.

“There is no doubt about its effect,” Cheng said.

—

Zhao Binjian, a manger of Ningbo Shenyang Logistics, said the company was using the devices mainly to train new employees. The brain sensors were integrated in virtual reality headsets to simulate different scenarios in the work environment.

“It has significantly reduced the number of mistakes made by our workers,” Zhao said, because of “improved understanding” between the employees and company.

—

The company estimated the technology had helped it increase revenue by 140 million yuan in the past two years.

While the tech has raised concerns of abuse and calls for regulations, “China has applied it on an unprecedented scale in factories, public transport, state-owned companies, and the military to increase the competitiveness of its manufacturing industry and to maintain social stability,” the report says.
In fact, it’s already here.

Variations of this tech are here in the United States or coming soon. As Zerohedge points out, Google already has patents with ready-made plans for surveillance in the new smart home, including your children’s bedrooms.

There are already apps intended for the U.S. that monitor mental health behavior in patients.

China is also using their facial recognition to tag jaywalkers so it doesn’t stand to reason that they have spent untold amounts on this technology for the enjoyment of their nation’s individuals.

Facial recognition cameras were recently rolled out in a New York school district. The company making the tech is offering it to a county for free because it’s for the safety of “the children.”

With only one or two cautions, a Psychology Today report extols the virtues of the future of mental health facial tracking, or rather, AI truth tracking and calls it “the end of hiding” as though privacy itself holds a criminal intent:

We’ve always known that faces convey information to others, but now ever-present electronic eyes can watch us with untiring attention and with the training to spot our most fleeting micro-expressions.

—

As the machines’ learning advances, step by step, we must make or accept tradeoffs, explicitly or implicitly. That’s why it’s worth looking into those electronic eyes, to understand their applications and their social risks and benefits.

Clearly, there’s potential for abuse.

Qiao Zhian, professor of management psychology at Beijing Normal University, acknowledges that the Chinese brain-mining technology would give a competitive edge to those who deploy it. However, he seems to be the only one quoted in the report who pointed out the obvious Orwellian 1984 vibe going.

Qiao said that the technology could also be abused by companies “to control minds and infringe privacy,” mirroring Big Brother “thought police” – the dreadful law enforcement in 1984 who interrogated and punished people for displaying beliefs out of line with the upper echelon.

“There is no law or regulation to limit the use of this kind of equipment in China. The employer may have a strong incentive to use the technology for higher profit, and the employees are usually in too weak a position to say no,” he said.

The selling of Facebook data is bad enough. Brain surveillance can take privacy abuse to a whole new level.

He adds that there should be urgent legislation to protect workers’ interests and bargaining power. He urges lawmakers to”act now to limit the use of emotion surveillance.” With one last haunting thought, Qiao warned:

The human mind should not be exploited for profit.

Mining data from our minds won’t benefit US personally.

But more than violating the most inner privacy of all to maximize production, our thoughts and feelings shouldn’t be outsourced to AI monitors or read back to a lustful employer. What kind of environment makes it more lucrative to spend millions on tech to monitor thoughts and feelings when a truly free environment would allow individuals to voice any problems and work together to solve them?

Obviously, the Chinese government didn’t go through all that trouble to increase the life benefits for employees there.

Fuck your distraction.

My gift to industry is the genetically engineered worker, or Genejack. Specially designed for labor, the Genejack's muscles and nerves are ideal for his task, and the cerebral cortex has been atrophied so that he can desire nothing except to perform his duties. Tyranny, you say? How can you tyrannize someone who cannot feel pain?

Back in the 1980s, the only people remaining on the conservative camp were the diehards. Everyone else either went Left, or ran off to the suburbs and came up with some disingenuous combination designed to camouflage their orientation, like “environmental fiscal conservative” or “Malthusian existential socialist.” This left the people who were panicked and stern.

As a result, they blasted out a singular message during that decade: there is a right way and a wrong way, and you either conform to this system or you join the people outside its gates, there, who are barbarians. To us kids, this made no sense, since it was clear that 90% of everyone on television thought the Democrats were totally correct but not extreme enough.

The Right had lost, but they did not know it yet, mainly because the loss came from culture and not through the political system. They still did not know it yet, because they had a horde of older voters who were still issuing forth ballots as if they were living in the 1940s, or the last time that they were plausibly “young.”

Riding that wave, the Right could afford to engage in that duality of aggression and calcification which, realizing that the living version of its philosophy — the “why” behind the “how,” or the cause of its effect — had been lost, writes up a mess of rules and enforces them as a way of keeping the Other Side excluded from its camp.

This did not bother the Left because they knew that people are weak, and in the long run, the biggest camp actually belonged to the Left. They have a simple approach: validate weakness. They will tell you that your personality flaws — libertinism, laziness, dishonesty, prostitution — are in fact great strengths because they serve the goal of equality, also known as destroying all standards and goals so that everyone feels accepted and warm in the midnight bath of being a mob. Lie back, have a glass of wine, and listen to the lite jazz coming out of the stereo, because this moment is forever, and although you know that some day the water will turn red from the wrists sliced up the vein, for now, you are free… at peace… included… at one with everything.

Sometime in the 1980s, the Right turned things around, mostly fixed America and beat the Soviets, who truly were the most corrupt and vicious regime humanity had produced since Robespierre. At first the Russians were True Believers who thought that the brotherhood of man that Schilling was ranting about could occur, but by the end they had seen humanity’s ample buttocks and realized how dishonest and horrible it was, and believed only in telling people to do the minimum and shooting anyone who failed to comply. They reached the same place that the Right in the West had, tired and shaky, using power to compensate for what had failed or been forgotten.

After the Soviets fell, however, the American consumer had no need for the Right anymore. We were free — free at last! — and could do the parallel of whatever we wanted and could afford, so our focus turned to money. This coincided with the 1990s when naïve tech geeks ran into the Baby Boomer investor and ended up making the latter group quite a bit of money; these were people born in the last days of WW2 way back in the 1940s who, now in their 1950s, were as calcified as Reagan or the Soviets and had given up on their idealism entirely and just wanted fat bank accounts.

That meant that “conform to the system” had switched from the pre-Reagan idea of being with the good people wearing nice clothes who were chaste and went to church like it was the 1950s, to being part of the nu-America where everyone wore turtlenecks, spoke in fast technical gobbledegook, and voted like hippies. The new system was a lot like the old system, but instead of church, it had entertainment, weed, sex, and of course, Leftist politics. You came in the door for the good times, but they kept you around with Soviet-style control methods.

Life became hard for those of us who distrust systems. My whole life I have observed that systems are essentially prolonged trends, or little clerk-like bureaucrat people insisting that what worked last time must define what will work in the future, which is comical to anyone with a sense of history who observes that events work on long arcs where each event defines the context of the next, so brute force repetition shifts out of context over time. A system consists of looking at yesterday and assuming that the weather will be the same tomorrow even though the seasons have changed.

Nowhere does this become more visible than in writing. When the great editors all retired or died, we got the modern clerk-bureaucrat who, coming fresh from her MFA program, knew quite a bit about what others in the field thought, but almost nothing about the reader. When you have read twenty-five years of what others have assigned you, and been instructed through statistics in what works, you do not need to know what the readers want, in your mind. They are as predictable as the weather.

This means that we have given small minds control of what should be an open-minded venture. If your work does not have the young adult appeal of Harry Potter, the exuberant and profligate use of vocabulary from Alice Seybold, the social consciousness of Barbara Kingsolver, and the folksy informality of Stephen Colbert, it gets overlooked.

Whatever succeeded yesterday goes into a big list and they must check off all of those boxes to approve it. This is how “systems” work; instead of looking at the whole of what you write, and whether it fits what you are writing, they look at its outward form and figure that people buy things that they recognize and therefore, they will need all these random details.

To writers, this is as insincere as politicans who use fake southern accents or kiss babies. You are presenting an image and assuming that content is irrelevant. Even more, you have have taken agency away from your audience and assigned it to statistics, making the assumption that what succeeded yesterday was popular for its form and not something specific that it addressed.

Systems, like trends, use this type of thinking to dumb everything down, enforce conformity, and stop the need for people to think and see the world clearly, a habit which the best writing has. This is why we love the great books, stories, articles, and essays; they tell us something clearly that we thought only in fragments, and now that knowledge is assembled in a form that we can understand.

In my experience, buyers are not the way that the clerks say they are. They have agency, of a sort. True, most conform, but that is mainly to try to pick up on the momentum of what everyone else is doing, and they have no loyalty to it. People ran out and bought a whole lot of Toni Morrison books about a decade ago, and the following year the used book stores had boxes of them. In the same way, every landfill on Earth is now overflowing with trends of the past years, whether books, bread-making machines, bell-bottom jeans, Beanie Babies, or the propaganda of a dying regime.

Cross-indexing this with the 1980s experience tells us something important: we are not living in a society which is in the prime of its life, but something that has reached its peak, forgotten why it succeeded, and now is beating us with repetition of the past through trends and systems in an attempt to hold on to its fading glory.

Non-conformists like myself, perhaps a rare type because we fail to conform not as a personality quirk but because we like the flexibility of thinking for today instead of yesterday, find ourselves on the wrong side of the “arc of history” that this system wants to perpetrate on us. In the long run, however, we’ll be proven correct and the previously formidable trends will vanish in ashes.

Question is: where is this all headed? We can see the current trajectory easily enough: a dystopian surveillance state that has AI programs watching is 24/7 in real time. But is this path actually sustainable?

You think these "people" care about sustainability?

Of course it is. No one is ever going to fight back against it. Total information control was achieved roughly 10 years ago. Jews have directed all internet discourse ever since.

Nobody's fought back because nobody's even aware of it. People will be aware that they're constantly watched and evaluated, especially if that evaluation results in actions being taken against them.

Hahaha

No, people won’t be aware that they’re constantly watched and evaluated. All of the Western world already is; no one does anything. By the time it “results” in anything (fun fact: it already is), the government will have too much power to do anything against them. BECAUSE THEY’LL BE MONITORING ALL ACTIONS, CONSTANTLY. For fuck’s sake.

Surprisingly readable and absent kike spew for a TOR poster.

Look at the story OP posted about monitoring of Chinese workers in factories. They're clearly aware of what's happening.

Well, they'll have fun with that, considering most of our enemies are actually rayciss and actually more bigoted than we are. That system will be so full of shit no one will be able to tell anything useful.

The thing is with China, their citizens don't give a shit so they can come out and just say, yes we are watching you and reading your thoughts. Here in the West, Joos have to be more careful. They are doing this shit in the West guaranteed but in secret

I wouldn't call systems optimization a shortsighted endeavor. The modularity of systems today is what makes them robust. I'm no apologist for people that consider it their perogative to control the flow of attention but I do believe some direction is required for many people. The issue, I think, with todays systems is they appeal to such a low common denominator that those that do have agency don't ever use it for anything.

The absolute state of the Chinese.

Hilariously although China is called a totalitarian regime, the rule of law is only available in some areas. The biggest cities usually have the most policing and social control but lower tier cities effectively have no police whatsoever and because these are chinks and not niggers they govern themselves with decent competency.

There are a billion and a half Chinese people and there's nothing like what we have going on in France right now. Robotic bugmen love their chains apparently. At least white people still have that going for them.

I constantly hear that on occasion, they sperg out and go on knife attacks. They're a pretty soulless people in the modern day though. They just accept the status quo, a bit like white people today.

China of today isn't like China of the 20th century. There is plenty of food, they have lots of pop culture and entertainment to enjoy, cars are commonplace now. They are much more conformist than Whites, as East Asians tend to be, but they're also just as distracted by the bread and circuses as the West on top of that. Also, Chinese are much more accepting of autocratic government than any Western people. Things like voting and freedom of speech aren't that important to them; those are Western ideals. They care much more about order and being able to show off various status symbols to cement their place in the hierarchy.

Oh my, this some choice bullshit. The chinks are crazy about stabbing. They love to use knives on each other, to wound and to kill. The less police there are around, the more stabbings there are. Adults, kids, seniors, etc. Everybody is getting cut.

China is truly what a USSR v2.0 should be.
