  1. We in a program aint no way.

  2. We already have lots of devices that translate brain activity into binary. This is late and not new, they just put a.i on it because its a buzz word and gets people to react and freak out. This is not even really hard to replicate

  3. Wow what if it works on someone in a coma or an animal like an ape, gorilla or dolphin

  4. This is really cool 😎 but very scary 😟 because artificial intelligence can possibly one day take over the world 🌎 in a mere 30 years!

  5. If they can convince you it works… even if it doesn't it would be used to destroy anyone they want.

  6. brain to LLMs will replace graphical user interfaces and screens for most interactions with a computational device.

  7. If they put it on me they would see a field of loud crickets. If they can help with tinnitus would be awesome. I can’t even hear myself think.

  8. Unlikely to be accurate however.

  9. How much does my plant understand when I talk to it? A deliberate schedule of watering. Light. No light. Changing direction of light. Sequences. Various periods. Different intensities of light. Different colors of light. Different temperatures at different times of day. Ok. This is the stimuli I engineer. Then I wait for my friend to respond. Beyond reading its simple tropisms in a literal way, i.e., going greener, or growing browner, growing in this or that direction faster or slower to indicate what it NEEDS from us to survive, how do we read its behavior to discover what a plant really WANTS in this life? How do we distinguish of these tropisms what the plant actually WANTS from the behaviors we see and incentivize it to exhibit? Sometimes you do things you don't want to achieve a much larger goal. What if I am not being facetious?

  10. What about people who don’t have the inner dialogue lol

  11. If my phone starts reading my thoughs, I guess I'll just learn to live without it.

  12. I wonder if you can translate dogs thoughts

  13. A.I. Future Crimes Division.

  14. This timeline we’re in has been increasingly getting weirder since 2019.

  15. How can they be sure the sentence is what the brain said and not conditioned by experiment? If not even the owner of the brain can confirm the veracity of the sentence fully

  16. So, people can be arrested for what they’re thinking. A crime of thought. A thought crime. This sure would make a good idea for a novel. Why hasn’t anyone written one about this before?

  17. WHAT DO YOU KNOW. YOUR WIRELESS EAR BUDS ARE READING AND TRANSMITTING ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

  18. Wow, that's amazing. AI is eating the everything.

  19. Now next step intergrate this with chatgpt and make yourself a small god

  20. Its always news companies including typos in their titles

  21. this is a flawed theory

  22. This is too much! I’m getting in my time machine gonna go back somewhere when computers couldn’t read our minds.

  23. We already knew this was going to happen, it was only a matter of time. Eventually we won’t need to use vocal chords.

  24. Thank you for making something more dangerous than a nuke

  25. Imagine being a schizophrenic in recovery and getting this recommended by the Youtube algorithm…

  26. What happens if you use this on a dying person? Can this be used to interrogate subjects of a crime? Can the technology be used in reverse for education? Can this technology be used to increase the limit of what we consider brain death? The possibilities…

  27. "diaglogue" eh? Is that a diagonal log or does it simply reveal that your staff is distinctly unqualified to be speaking about language?

  28. I don't buy this. Every person's brain encodes speech and thoughts differently. There should be no possibility to train an AI like this, to read WORDS out of crude and imprecise "activity" of brain regions. I give 99% this is a scam.

  29. This is going to sound extreme
    But I already know this is going to be abused by large companies and government to read our thoughts without our consent. Either for product marketing or in the governments case for "thought crimes"
    When that happens, the only acceptable course of action for whoever is found to be connected to this form of extreme privacy breech, is the death penalty.
    They won't stop if it's just jail time or a huge fine
    The rich aren't punished properly in any of our societies and so nothing else will stop them.
    Our minds are the final form of privacy that every human being has a right to keep private, no arguments whatsoever.

  30. Its not a breakthrough.

  31. soo… it can read active parts in the brain and translate it to pure defined english?

  32. Im not scared. I have plenty of tin foil at the house

  33. Freedom of thought 💭 soon enough your thoughts won’t even be free!!
