Your data is making me rich. 

Here's some of what I get from your identity-specific data collection device: communication patterns, social behavior and mobility, choice and consumption of music, selection of apps used, temporal distribution of phone usage throughout the day.

Granted, I will need a supercomputer to build and train my robot, but once I'm done, I can narrow down your Big 5, and sell you a vacuum, or a candidate. Maybe. But I do know who you are, maybe better than you do. 

Self-reported extraversion signals come from your social patterns, your degree of  conscientiousness can be seen in the timing of your daily rhythms, and to know if you score high on "openness" we needs lots and lots of random datapoints, like yottas of data. So thanks.

3D-printed voice box based on Nesyamun's vocal tract, which was scanned to establish its precise dimensions.

By using the vocal tract with an artificial larynx sound, they synthesised a vowel sound meant to be similar to the voice of Nesyamun.

At least the voice box is now taken care of; maybe we can't upload the whole brain yet, but we're getting there.
