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

Post by: Delfos on March 19, 2008, 06:31:45 PM: 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.

So convenient!

Just you wait.

Post by: Bara on March 20, 2008, 02:15:08 PM: so, i could see that one commercial that goes "Its Secert agent man" all the time?

Post by: Gulliver on March 20, 2008, 03:33:26 PM: Seeing as I'm constantly talking to myself under my breath... I can't fathom what I'd let slip with this.

Post by: Feniexia on March 20, 2008, 06:46:38 PM: I'm a transhumanist, I'm going to need such a thing if I want to continue talking to people, so I like it...like most technological advances.

Post by: Delfos on March 21, 2008, 01:04:05 PM: how I'm taught to see it: that's a stupid idea, you either run to do exercise or get on a PC to check forums, it would make more sense if you had a computer mounted in a running carpet.

Post by: Myroria on March 21, 2008, 04:15:22 PM: You mean a treadmill?

And transhumanism leads to Brave New World, no doubt.
