      And that’s how we went full circle back to the invasive porn ads of the early 00s

    Cool for the disabled to have another means of communication but I personally wouldn’t want a literal mind-reading implant put in.

    I can already imagine a Amazon warehouse worker have his brain waves monitored and gets reprimanded everytime he is not focused. They would probably reason it out that it’s for safety reasons.

      And suddenly half the republicans were against it for … ethical reasons

          Like sure, it happens often, but by far not always, and it’s harmful to imply that’s all there is to homophobia.

          Sure. That’s the other half of the republicans.

    We already can do it. I can’t imagine a life without it. It makes things easier. Really. I hope humans can achieve it soon.

    This tech will be used to “personalize” your ads. And by personalize, I mean convince you that it truly is a life-or-death situation that you buy whatever monthly subscription they’re advertising.

    Kinda scary if this becomes reality. I can see a few cases where this can be good and many cases where it won’t be good at all.

    I don’t know how it sounds in the original version of Dark Star (1973/John Carpenter) but it sounds quite similar how Commander Powell, being in cryogenic suspension and “speaking” through some brain-computer interface, sounds in the German synced version.
