    Cool for the disabled to have another means of communication but I personally wouldn’t want a literal mind-reading implant put in.

    I can already imagine a Amazon warehouse worker have his brain waves monitored and gets reprimanded everytime he is not focused. They would probably reason it out that it’s for safety reasons.

    Kinda scary if this becomes reality. I can see a few cases where this can be good and many cases where it won’t be good at all.

    This tech will be used to “personalize” your ads. And by personalize, I mean convince you that it truly is a life-or-death situation that you buy whatever monthly subscription they’re advertising.

    We already can do it. I can’t imagine a life without it. It makes things easier. Really. I hope humans can achieve it soon.

    I don’t know how it sounds in the original version of Dark Star (1973/John Carpenter) but it sounds quite similar how Commander Powell, being in cryogenic suspension and “speaking” through some brain-computer interface, sounds in the German synced version.
