Exactly, and the definition of "impure" will be according to whoever has power over you at a given time. You will not be allowed to even think of disagreeing with those who have more power, be it the power of a person in government, in your work place, or social environment.
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

I'm starting to think AI would not naturally go alpha predator and wipe us out or even try to suppress humanity. that is, after all, such a human way to approach things :) however, there's still every opportunity for humans to *program* the AI to do nefarious things, which of course will definitely happen and would be just as bad.
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.

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.
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)

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 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.
As someone with a young family member who was briefly on life support with no hope of survival and did indeed die, that’s huge no thanks from me. The idea of hearing her final thoughts of how terrified she was knowing she was about to die, slowly getting less and less intelligible would probably have scarred me for life.
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.

Regardless of how this COULD be used the reality is that the technology is here and rapidly getting better so now its more of a matter of how we regulate it and how it is used rather than if it is used.
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.
So glad you guys are admitting our thoughts can be read.. Bc I already realized that about a year ago.. Hope everyone realizes what’s actually going on here.
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.

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.
More like: This could incarcerate more innocent people who have anxiety. Imagine getting interrogated and knowing you shouldn't be thinking x. The more you try not to think about x, the more you think about x. Then they go: "Oh it must be him!". This type of thing already happens with modern interrogation technics, it's why we have so many innocent people in prison. It would be 100x worse if they could read your thoughts. If you arrested me for any crime and hooked me up to one of those things I would almost certainly accidently confess even if I didn't do it. The only thing this would do is make it easier for police to justify putting you in prison to a judge.
No, because this device will be mostly used by criminals, big organisations, that will get away with everything, and use it to manipulate citizens thoughts
Some people might scream “1984 THOUGHT POLICE!!” and I understand their concerns. Nothing is more private than our thoughts and we all deserve mental privacy. However, this technology also has the potential for a lot of good. As the woman said in the video, it could help people with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and ALS. It could also allow us to communicate with our canine friends and other animals. Maybe even dolphins! I think that would be morally just and beneficial for both humans and animals. Another possible benefit is that it could improve the justice system. Imagine if only guilty people were convicted and no more wrongful death sentences were issued. Lie detectors and interrogations would be obsolete and maybe even courts would be unnecessary if this tech could reveal the truth with certainty. Of course, there are also risks and challenges. If this tech becomes widely available, it could be abused by malicious actors or hackers. The idea of someone pointing their phone at me and reading my mind without my consent is terrifying. Especially if they find out some of my kinky fantasies! But like it or not, mind reading and other amazing sci-fi AI tech are finally becoming reality. I wish there was a cure for aging too, so I could live long enough to see all of it and have a purpose in life.
Y’all are crazy af if you think it’s ok to allow any FOR-PROFIT companies to have this type of access. This is stupid. The desire to make more money is pushing every corporation to the next big thing in tech and this is where we’re headed. I Would never.. You all can have that new world

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?

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.

Like all other inventions and discoveries, we humans will also develop it for nefarious usages. It is also highly possible that AI itself will too.
I'm starting to think AI would not naturally go alpha predator and wipe us out or even try to suppress humanity. that is, after all, such a human way to approach things :) however, there's still every opportunity for humans to *program* the AI to do nefarious things, which of course will definitely happen and would be just as bad.
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.

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)

Thought police incoming 1984...
It will be stoppable ...smiling would that be considered a super power or telepathic??
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 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.
that is absolutely amazing. imagine people in comas or on life support!
As someone with a young family member who was briefly on life support with no hope of survival and did indeed die, that’s huge no thanks from me. The idea of hearing her final thoughts of how terrified she was knowing she was about to die, slowly getting less and less intelligible would probably have scarred me for life.

Regardless of how this COULD be used the reality is that the technology is here and rapidly getting better so now its more of a matter of how we regulate it and how it is used rather than if it is used.
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.
So many many years ago I wondered if any time humans could be able to have a technology to read minds, the time has come, it's amazing
It’s terrifying
So glad you guys are admitting our thoughts can be read.. Bc I already realized that about a year ago.. Hope everyone realizes what’s actually going on here.
Tin foil hat sales are going to go through the roof.
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.
They are already doing this and think we don't know it, sad can't even think freely anymore, idk who wants to live this way I'm out.

Thought crime incoming….
This could narrow down potential suspects in crimes way quicker, since only the criminal would know intimate details of a crime...
It could end petty crime altogether by getting the real criminals that cause mass economic destruction in communities.
More like: This could incarcerate more innocent people who have anxiety.
Imagine getting interrogated and knowing you shouldn't be thinking x. The more you try not to think about x, the more you think about x. Then they go: "Oh it must be him!". This type of thing already happens with modern interrogation technics, it's why we have so many innocent people in prison. It would be 100x worse if they could read your thoughts.
If you arrested me for any crime and hooked me up to one of those things I would almost certainly accidently confess even if I didn't do it. The only thing this would do is make it easier for police to justify putting you in prison to a judge.
If this were real I would use to justify surveillance not to justify criminals charges with tech we barely understand.
No, because this device will be mostly used by criminals, big organisations, that will get away with everything, and use it to manipulate citizens thoughts
Intrusive thoughts?
Some people might scream “1984 THOUGHT POLICE!!” and I understand their concerns. Nothing is more private than our thoughts and we all deserve mental privacy. However, this technology also has the potential for a lot of good. As the woman said in the video, it could help people with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and ALS. It could also allow us to communicate with our canine friends and other animals. Maybe even dolphins! I think that would be morally just and beneficial for both humans and animals. Another possible benefit is that it could improve the justice system. Imagine if only guilty people were convicted and no more wrongful death sentences were issued. Lie detectors and interrogations would be obsolete and maybe even courts would be unnecessary if this tech could reveal the truth with certainty. Of course, there are also risks and challenges. If this tech becomes widely available, it could be abused by malicious actors or hackers. The idea of someone pointing their phone at me and reading my mind without my consent is terrifying. Especially if they find out some of my kinky fantasies! But like it or not, mind reading and other amazing sci-fi AI tech are finally becoming reality. I wish there was a cure for aging too, so I could live long enough to see all of it and have a purpose in life.
