The freedom of thought for individuals is being controlled by media.I feel that social media and music is influencing our thought process , which can be very negative or very positive. Also, it pushes people to do certain things that people do not want to do, which controls people's thoughts and actions which takes away peoples rights to freedom of thought or freedom of speech.
Wow. GPT 1 being able to do this is amazing. We could be able to record our dreams in text soon... Then with the help of ai video creation we could remake our dreams in a video format we could watch and share. Amazing!
they're skipping that first step by showing people images and scanning the brain as it reacts to what its seeing. then try to turn the scans back into the images.
It would be even more interesting when scientists can reverse the process and imprint patterns of stimulation on the brain and simply type words and thoughts into your mind
Nita Farahany is directly affiliated with the WEF and has served as a panelist to discuss this specific technology. All the, “Fears,” that she outlined in this interview haven’t stopped her yet, have they? If you think she’s saying one thing and not doing something completely different, you’re exactly as naive as people like her are hoping that you are. Do NOT subject yourself this technology. It could be the last mistake that we make.
While this is a good advancement for people who are non-verbal individuals but also concerning for many reasons since companies and government's always seem to hijack advanced technology for their advantage/ control. "Mental privacy" and "wearable devices" were phrases used in the interview. Though, worrying about your employer making sure you're constantly focusing on work would be the least of our worries since AI would be able to read everyone's thoughts which is completely insane and very concerning. Indeed a future we aren't ready for.
They left out vital details of the study. The tech is nowhere neer capable of reading minds on a whim. A large part of the study were privacy tests that were found to have no accuracy at all at decoding language of people with data from different participants, and decoding language during activities that were unrelated to the audio data that the AI was originally trained on.

As much as I love technology and some of the things it has allowed us to do, it surely does not seem like overall it really is making people happier. 8 billion of us on this planet now and people seem to be getting more sad, frustrated, unhappy, etc. We develop all this technology to help us in our every day lives but people are made to work more to afford it now so is it really helping? Not sure what will be useful if one day we can all read everyone else's minds all the time.
The barriers between our minds will break down and our thoughts and memories will flood from person to person, our sense of self will be confused, not knowing which memories are our own or ones we got from someone else, effectively turning all of humanity into one single consciousness
@pluckybellhop66 im not sure about the research you're talking about, but i read this study when it was first published in the bioRxiv journal. Its called "Semantic reconstruction of continuous language using non-invasive fMRI". The ai had to be trained to each individual person whith their 100% willfull participation or else the information would be inaccurate. Each participant had to listen to and watch 16 hours of audio/visual info, repeating many parts over and over so the ai can correlate the brain activation to the video and audio data being sensed.
@pluckybellhop66 it is interesting when you think about it like that. The participants did pretty much watch tv while the ai was processing data from the fmri. But the main problem (or blessing lol) that the study dedicated an entire section to test, is that a model of one persons brain can not be used to read the mind of another. This is because all our brains are slightly different on the cellular level. On a different note, a psychoanalyst might say you dont need a machine to read peoples thoughts and control them. It's already at work in the media. News echo chambers, the same repeated talking points, misleading answers ready-made, perpetual consumption with little time giving to reflection, will shape anyones thoughts over time.
Re: comment: 👆That’s been stated as a very serious thought for us all to really consider/ponder about.

Forget the rest of the implications this could mean, we are now one step closer to being able to talk to our pets, and thats what we should be striving for in technological advancements. 😂
I think the best you're going to get with pets is random words and maybe some disjointed phrases. They just don't have the cognition to communicate in the complex way humans do.
We already talk to our pets. A lot more is said with a cuddle and a pat than with words between two wildly different beings. Wait til an animal realizes you eat animals, and how dominant mankind is over the animal kingdom. Probably won't be as wiggly and loving after that.
This has been used as a weapon for a long time. They can write thoughts into your brain and have a convo or keep you up at night and do it for sleep deprivation
If this technology is used more widespread, law enforcers and the justice system are going to have a hard time enforcing the law fairly, considering the definition of a crime would be ambiguous relating to the thoughts of a person. Imagine trying to define the shape of a physical object compared to water. A physical object is tangible, but water is a liquid. It has no shape and changes rapidly. The only way to define it is to put the water in a container, which is a physical object. In the same respect, we need a container of 'law', a framework to define the shape of the mind. Its going to take time though for culture to adapt and evolve enough to define this. I suspect a lot of people are going to suffer from abuse and misunderstanding until then.

Pretty cool. It's not literally reading your brain, just using an algorithm to look at brain patterns, what they're typically associated with and then trying to extrapolate some vague meaning from it using user training from the GPT English language model. It using GPT1 is extremely early for accurate interpretation. To be clear to Chicken Littles, this isn't really AI. It's just an automatic matching system that does what people already do with test results, but faster.
Lying is illogical anyway. But it's already impossible to lie to whatever the panopticon is. So many people are experiencing it in various ways. This is what we get for letting the military-industrial complex in America gather and control resources on an almost global level, completely unchecked. All tech is military tech on this planet. Tech, and the science behind "new" tech has been sequestered for decades before you hear about it. You just hear about experiments they run from people you think are crazy for a couple decades before they allow our sub civilization to know certain lines of development. For instance, propulsion tech. Then they control the perception and response of the populace. What our military is encountering and thinking it's extraterrestrial is looking sequestered tech that a faction in the world controls. Also like geoengineering. It's real, but they controlled the narrative and made it about "chemtrails" so there is no public inquiry. They want us to think there are aliens, that's a huge priming pattern. Maybe what Reagan said? To bring global unity, we need a global existential threat. Well. Wish I wasn't part of the herd they are trying to cull...
Also, lying is illogical from a global perspective, which is the perspective AI has. To humans it's not illogical. So you can stop thinking I'm inconsistent. You just don't think that well. (Not talking to the person on this thread lol)
People don't know if that's true or not. The computer could be making up crap. Then the computer manipulate your brain to think as it wants you to think and then say, "You're thinking that way." People need to have commonsense.
This is already being used. Don't pretend like you haven't had your thoughts manifest into a series of content suggested to you via platforms of utility on your devices.
we all know every new tech is going to be used for bad. say goodbye to privacy. i mean imagine some application where your thoughts are read against ur will or without you even knowing or consenting to the procedure.

I hope everyone realizes that this is not whats going on, the technology is not capable of reading anyone's brain on a whim, and the news story is feer mongering, vastly misrepresented the study by leaving out vital details. Stop blindly believing news media coverage of science, and learn to read from primary/scholarly sources. Here is the study "Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings" published in BioRxiv.
It's infuriating me that she makes the exact point people were worried about the most- tech corporations are already looking into a way to use this for data collection, which means it will soon be possible to weaponize.
What AI boils down to is pattern recognition. Anywhere there is an underlying pattern, AI can eventually learn to read those patterns with enough data. Its all about the data though. AI will be changing the world as we know it, in every aspect of society.
getting excited is okay but ethical considerations are huge. consumers needs more education to make an informed decision once this goes mainstream. i follow Dr. Nita's work closely and anyone interested in the ethical considerations of AI should read her work.

I’m pretty sure the Great AI go rhythm has been doing this for a while. I get recommendations and adverts for things I only think about. It’s happening people, whether you choose to engage or not.
I'd love to know the relative size of this model, as it compares to the measurement set AND the no. parameters we should expect from the brain. I'm very interested if this model is compressing the thoughts, or the other war around.
So yes and no, it can perhaps predict what we're feeling, and what we might be thinking based on context. However.. The real way we would "read someones mind" is not in their brain at all. It's in their larynx. So whenever we're developing as a child we cannot prevent our thoughts from being spoken out loud, which as we develop our cognition it turns into being suppressed and internal, which becomes that voice in your head we all wonder about. . It's why kids never seem to stop talking and say the weirdest things sometimes. Well.. As they get older the same mechanism happens because the inner dialog in our head is just speech that is being actively suppressed at the larynx. But... drum roll if you can read the muscle potential changes, IE the very faint electrical impulses that get suppressed at the sight of the muscle. And you then take thousands of hours of someone actually speaking, and then of someone thinking words and training it on what each word looks like as it's being formed at the vocal cords, you can then translate this into actual language through it's advanced pattern recognition. The issue with a brain scan is.. it's a brain scan you have to take this somewhat toxic cocktail of contrasting fluid that distributes through your blood and shows up on a pet scan. It's looking for the actual contrasting dye itself, not the activity. The activity pulls blood to that specific area of the brain showing that that part has been utilized and needed blood. MRI's aren't capable of it either because they're just trying to find differentials in density through strong magnetic pulses that cause the atoms in your body to rotate in a single direction and create and image from it.
What an amazing technology that will never ever be abused by entities that portray themselves as benevolent and helpful.

Put it on a person with Savant syndrome. People are worried about the ai taking over but I believe it will be the people being integrated with ai will be the problem.

The freedom of thought for individuals is being controlled by media.I feel that social media and music is influencing our thought process , which can be very negative or very positive. Also, it pushes people to do certain things that people do not want to do, which controls people's thoughts and actions which takes away peoples rights to freedom of thought or freedom of speech.
Trust me, this needs to be squashed like a bad habit
The "Freedom of thought" something that should never be a real thing.
Wow. GPT 1 being able to do this is amazing. We could be able to record our dreams in text soon... Then with the help of ai video creation we could remake our dreams in a video format we could watch and share. Amazing!

they're skipping that first step by showing people images and scanning the brain as it reacts to what its seeing. then try to turn the scans back into the images.

Do NOT subject yourself this technology. It could be the last mistake that we make.
While this is a good advancement for people who are non-verbal individuals but also concerning for many reasons since companies and government's always seem to hijack advanced technology for their advantage/ control. "Mental privacy" and "wearable devices" were phrases used in the interview. Though, worrying about your employer making sure you're constantly focusing on work would be the least of our worries since AI would be able to read everyone's thoughts which is completely insane and very concerning. Indeed a future we aren't ready for.
Somebody is ready
They left out vital details of the study. The tech is nowhere neer capable of reading minds on a whim. A large part of the study were privacy tests that were found to have no accuracy at all at decoding language of people with data from different participants, and decoding language during activities that were unrelated to the audio data that the AI was originally trained on.

As much as I love technology and some of the things it has allowed us to do, it surely does not seem like overall it really is making people happier. 8 billion of us on this planet now and people seem to be getting more sad, frustrated, unhappy, etc. We develop all this technology to help us in our every day lives but people are made to work more to afford it now so is it really helping? Not sure what will be useful if one day we can all read everyone else's minds all the time.

@@bigdaddydrip4452 It's a lot farther along than you think. They can also see out of your eyes.
@pluckybellhop66 im not sure about the research you're talking about, but i read this study when it was first published in the bioRxiv journal. Its called "Semantic reconstruction of continuous language using non-invasive fMRI". The ai had to be trained to each individual person whith their 100% willfull participation or else the information would be inaccurate. Each participant had to listen to and watch 16 hours of audio/visual info, repeating many parts over and over so the ai can correlate the brain activation to the video and audio data being sensed.
@@bigdaddydrip4452 Could watching tv for hours have the same effect?
@pluckybellhop66 it is interesting when you think about it like that. The participants did pretty much watch tv while the ai was processing data from the fmri. But the main problem (or blessing lol) that the study dedicated an entire section to test, is that a model of one persons brain can not be used to read the mind of another. This is because all our brains are slightly different on the cellular level.
On a different note, a psychoanalyst might say you dont need a machine to read peoples thoughts and control them. It's already at work in the media. News echo chambers, the same repeated talking points, misleading answers ready-made, perpetual consumption with little time giving to reflection, will shape anyones thoughts over time.
This all seems too good to be true. I want to see this repeated by different independent groups.

We already talk to our pets. A lot more is said with a cuddle and a pat than with words between two wildly different beings. Wait til an animal realizes you eat animals, and how dominant mankind is over the animal kingdom. Probably won't be as wiggly and loving after that.

Orwell is looking more prophetic everyday. The days of wrong-think being a punishable crime is looking like it can actually be created.
If this technology is used more widespread, law enforcers and the justice system are going to have a hard time enforcing the law fairly, considering the definition of a crime would be ambiguous relating to the thoughts of a person.
Imagine trying to define the shape of a physical object compared to water. A physical object is tangible, but water is a liquid. It has no shape and changes rapidly. The only way to define it is to put the water in a container, which is a physical object.
In the same respect, we need a container of 'law', a framework to define the shape of the mind. Its going to take time though for culture to adapt and evolve enough to define this. I suspect a lot of people are going to suffer from abuse and misunderstanding until then.

This is getting scary, it will be impossible to lie to the machine hale-9000 style
Lying is illogical anyway. But it's already impossible to lie to whatever the panopticon is. So many people are experiencing it in various ways. This is what we get for letting the military-industrial complex in America gather and control resources on an almost global level, completely unchecked. All tech is military tech on this planet. Tech, and the science behind "new" tech has been sequestered for decades before you hear about it. You just hear about experiments they run from people you think are crazy for a couple decades before they allow our sub civilization to know certain lines of development. For instance, propulsion tech. Then they control the perception and response of the populace. What our military is encountering and thinking it's extraterrestrial is looking sequestered tech that a faction in the world controls. Also like geoengineering. It's real, but they controlled the narrative and made it about "chemtrails" so there is no public inquiry. They want us to think there are aliens, that's a huge priming pattern. Maybe what Reagan said? To bring global unity, we need a global existential threat. Well. Wish I wasn't part of the herd they are trying to cull...
Also, lying is illogical from a global perspective, which is the perspective AI has. To humans it's not illogical. So you can stop thinking I'm inconsistent. You just don't think that well. (Not talking to the person on this thread lol)
People don't know if that's true or not. The computer could be making up crap. Then the computer manipulate your brain to think as it wants you to think and then say, "You're thinking that way." People need to have commonsense.

It's infuriating me that she makes the exact point people were worried about the most- tech corporations are already looking into a way to use this for data collection, which means it will soon be possible to weaponize.
What AI boils down to is pattern recognition. Anywhere there is an underlying pattern, AI can eventually learn to read those patterns with enough data. Its all about the data though. AI will be changing the world as we know it, in every aspect of society.

I think it might be time to retire in the forest away from it all
So yes and no, it can perhaps predict what we're feeling, and what we might be thinking based on context. However.. The real way we would "read someones mind" is not in their brain at all. It's in their larynx. So whenever we're developing as a child we cannot prevent our thoughts from being spoken out loud, which as we develop our cognition it turns into being suppressed and internal, which becomes that voice in your head we all wonder about. . It's why kids never seem to stop talking and say the weirdest things sometimes. Well.. As they get older the same mechanism happens because the inner dialog in our head is just speech that is being actively suppressed at the larynx. But... drum roll if you can read the muscle potential changes, IE the very faint electrical impulses that get suppressed at the sight of the muscle. And you then take thousands of hours of someone actually speaking, and then of someone thinking words and training it on what each word looks like as it's being formed at the vocal cords, you can then translate this into actual language through it's advanced pattern recognition. The issue with a brain scan is.. it's a brain scan you have to take this somewhat toxic cocktail of contrasting fluid that distributes through your blood and shows up on a pet scan. It's looking for the actual contrasting dye itself, not the activity. The activity pulls blood to that specific area of the brain showing that that part has been utilized and needed blood. MRI's aren't capable of it either because they're just trying to find differentials in density through strong magnetic pulses that cause the atoms in your body to rotate in a single direction and create and image from it.
