Machines that can read minds?

Seriously, it's like they want a robot revolution.

it doesn't read minds, it seems it reads the neural info that goes to the vocal cords, I'm just not sure if that's just a scam.

If it's real; it's very bad. I highly doubt it would be used the way they say it would.

It's horrible. It's just another threat to continued human existance as it is now. The whole transhumanism stuff is a danger not mentioned.

WOW!  Scientists can make it so the government won't even have to hear us talk through their hidden microphones to use as evidence in secret courts when they face us with completely false charges.  They can just hear us think and record that!

So convenient!

It's only a matter of time...  One day, like Futurama, there will be commercials in our dreams.

Just you wait.
