I'm referring to all BCIs although right now I wouldn't be surprised if Neuralink is the most visible example. But I'm using BCI as an umbrella term for any technology whose input is the brain's electrical signals and whose output purports to be your thoughts, regardless of whether or not that interface is surgically invasive. Given that all surgeries carry risk and that all implants have challenges regarding host compatibility, getting that kind of tech to the point where the graze of a finger on an innocuous surface is enough to ballpark "thoughts" (the back of your phone, a public terminal, the door handle to a store you're walking into in order to complain to the manager...) would be the wet dream of any company and government that hoards data like money.
