This is very impressive and useful, and horrifying all at once.
I imagine it would help a stroke patient, I also imagine it would give out unfiltered thoughts, which might be troublesome.
- notnmeyer 3y ago> unfiltered thoughts not far off from existing issues like some forms of tourette’s.
- rvnx 3y agoI agree sadly :( You're right, this is why in year 2200, your job application is going to be fast-tracked by analyzing your thoughts directly. If you have a Neuralink, no problems, you can directly upload a trace of thoughts. In case you have wrong thoughts, don't worry, we have rehabilitation school, which can alter your state of mind. Don't forget to be happy, it's forbidden to be sad. Also, this is read-only for now, but what about writing ? This could open new possibilities as well (real-life Matrix ?) Oh by the way, did you hear about Lightspeed Briefs ? == All that being said, it's great research and going to be useful. Just the potential of abuse from politics is huge over the long-term.

- rvnx 3y agoTo stay focused and analyze your pattern. Oh, so that's what they meant by "Attention Is All You Need".

- fragmede 3y agoyou mean I get to bill the client for all the hours I spend thinking about their problem, which includes while I'm sleeping? sign me up!
- SubiculumCode 3y agolol
- dexterdog 3y agoOr you just zone out and let them use your brain for the work day and you take nothing with you at the end of the day. At that point it's just Severance, but with the perk of working from home.
- derefr 3y ago> If you have a Neuralink, no problems, you can directly upload a trace of thoughts. Except that someone with a jailbroken Neuralink could upload a filtered and arbitrarily-modified thought trace, getting ahead of all those plebs. Cyberpunk! :)
- Y_Y 3y agoJust think a virus, you know they're not going to be correctly sanitizing their inputs.
- drexlspivey 3y agojust think of Robert’); DROP TABLE candidates;
- wruza 3y agoHopefully in 2200 we’ll be long gone from all important fields in favor of new tech species who lack all the bs humans inherently bear on each other. If not, our own fault. Our species is a thin layer of culture on top of the “who most dominant ape here” game.
- da_chicken 3y agoYeah I can imagine law enforcement and employers are going to love this. As much as this is an unimaginable positive benefit to people who are locked in, this is definitely one of those stories that makes me think "Stop inventing the Torment Nexus!"
- Jensson 3y ago> Yeah I can imagine law enforcement and employers are going to love this. They will hate it, lies always benefits those with power more than those without since when the police lies against you then there isn't much you could do before, now you could demand they get their thoughts read.
- Jensson 3y agoImagine putting these on presidential candidates as they debate or when they try to explain a bill, it could massively improve democracy and ensure the people know what they actually vote for.
- thfuran 3y agoYes, imagine the glorious future of politicians who have no thoughts beyond the repeatedly coached answers to various talking points.
- ComodoHacker 3y agoSuddenly they all vigorously turn pro-privacy.
- d-lisp 3y agoFinally Platon's "King" is an AI.
- d-lisp 3y agoYes, and only politicians that do truly know to lie are elected.
- ninjaa 3y agoI am happy though, that we finally may talk about what our unfiltered thoughts are, and how much we are expected to control them or curate them, and how to do so in a psychologically helpful way.
