About as unrealistic as Elon Musk building a Mars base.

To answer your question, it's because whoever controls these technologies going in to the cyberpunk dystopia will have a lot of power in it. And the ones inventing it aren't really thinking about whether they'll have the supporting power to hold on to control of it.

Thought to text

So writing and typing?

Hey guy it probably feels like magic because you’re completely overselling where we’re at in terms of this kind of technology

It feels like magic because that's what you are selling.

Man that article gave me so many questions. First, how in over their head is the author? And second, who in their right mind would EVER want that? It's framed as such an innovative and exciting new thing, meanwhile I'm reading this and have to wonder if these people played Cyberpunk and liked what they saw.

I'm not saying words really loudly in my head while getting coffee. I just read the plots as I normally do, and make coffee as I normally do. It feels like magic.

Hey guy it probably feels like magic because you're completely overselling where we're at in terms of this kind of technology and we definitely aren't anywhere close to an AI casually reading our casual thoughts and doing research based on them.

Further, yes, yikes, this is very fucking dystopian when you consider the AIs this is meant to interface with are corporate owned, meaning corporations will have ownership over your thoughts. You don't think they're going to let you retains rights once a copy of is it in their servers? At the very least they will give themselves certain rights over the copy of your thoughts, and you may not even be able to easily access a copy yourself. It just feels insane to even consider to freely give my thoughts as data up to a private company.

What would this mean for someone who has issues with intrusive thoughts? Would the AI report them to authorities as a danger to themselves or others because of their thoughts? Intrusive thoughts they cannot control or stop?

Will it report you to HR because you had some mildly dirty thoughts about an attractive coworker? It just seems like such a massive risk because humans are much less in control of their thoughts than we think.

Unrelated, I like that "glitch" is a yiddish word and makes me think of an old jewish guy kvetching about his "glitching" computer.
