 Besides, surely mapping the full breadth of user identity requires much more compute and storage even than the massive AI hardware buildouts now getting underway. We're drifting into absurd [Borges-like territory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Exactitude_in_Science) imagining maps the size of the land they seek to represent.

 We can (and should) even allow them the agency to decide what elements of our identities and typical states to model and how to auto-optimize around them. We don't need full brain scans here, we just need to give them the right meta-methods.
