    I’ll bite.

    No, they won’t literally read brain waves to find out your secrets. Instead maybe they’ll have an AI model trained on data from your life and then use it to simulate the things you might be thinking.

    Sure, that’ll lead to false convictions, but they don’t give a shit lol

      Yup, people have proven time and time again that they are willing to give up privacy for something simple like convenience. So as tech progresses so will the deterioration of any privacy we may have left.

    Telepathy?

    Telepathy is the translation of thought into transmissible signals without sound that can be received and understood either by computer or others.

    Ah well then this post is telepathy. What an odd “definition”.

        Telepathy is typically used for mind-to-mind, but here there is an intermediary. I guess better something like mind-reading.

          Some time ago someone posted about psychic staring effect and morphic resonance stuff here on Lemmy, I think the new advances on the telepathic field are related to both of these.

          Edit: the not so good part it’s I believe it will not pass so long when someone start to make mind-control possible.

            That sounds like pseudoscience to me.

            On the other hand, there have been rather dramatic advances in brain / computer interfaces and using machine learning to interpret electrical signals from the human brain. The good news there is that every brain is different, the machines need to learn each brain individually (a model trained to pull dream images out of my brain will pull just gibberish out of yours).

            So far, the researchers would need your close cooperation in order to train a machine to understand even a little bit of what’s going on in your mind. This tech is nowhere near being used for interrogation.
