We are not quite there yet but when we are this technology will read private thoughts and thinking. Think about that in the hands of the Chinese, Russian and Iranian governments. And it is good that ethicists are looking at this. I don't trust politicians or big corporations. Thanks for your comments.

I’m currently half way through audio of 1984…. Thought I remembered most from reading years ago however the truly gruesome nature/detail unsettling … might be good suggested reading because there are too many aspects that have unpleasant ring of current thinking and behavior …

I do think discussions on negative possibilities with technological advancement are valuable, even at times existentially necessary.

I have a hard time seeing a negative with these devices. A twitch streamer just used one to beat an Elden Ring boss (one of the most difficult games). Seeing things like that reminds me of a client I had when I used to run an IDD home that used assistive tech to be able to play Farmville. When I see stuff like this I can't help but think of how much QoL improvement can be made for everyone.

The line between stifling tech/medical advancement or possible runaway destruction of individual rights is thin. I don't know if there is a right answer, but I am glad politicians and ethicists are looking at it.
