Interesting. Terrifying, but interesting. They are obviously working on a reverse of this to force ads into our heads on the street without our permission.
Lol … I always react the same way with these new announcements. Humanity will always react with greed and fear to these new developments.
I feel the same way about robot technology … I only see us developing a fully functional robot and then placing a machine gun in its hands.
Why spend the moment to effortlessly come up with a conspiracy theory? Not everything has to be so emotional.
I’m half joking, but not really.
This tech is surely to be used for profit if coming from Meta, not the greater good.
The R&D team at Facebook isn’t doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, they have a mission statement at the start of every project before it gets funded, and it doesn’t get funded unless it is going to produce future revenue.
Authors address the ethical implications of their research
Ethical implications. While the decoding of brain activity promises to help a variety of brainlesioned patients (Metzger et al., 2023; Moses et al., 2021; Defossez et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2023; ´ Willett et al., 2023), the rapid advances of this technology raise several ethical considerations, and most notably, the necessity to preserve mental privacy. Several empirical findings are relevant to this issue. Firstly, the decoding performance obtained with non-invasive recordings is only high for perceptual tasks. By contrast, decoding accuracy considerably diminishes when individuals are tasked to imagine representations (Horikawa & Kamitani, 2017; Tang et al., 2023). Second, decoding performance seems to be severely compromised when participants are engaged in disruptive tasks, such as counting backward (Tang et al., 2023). In other words, the subjects’ consent is not only a legal but also and primarily a technical requirement for brain decoding. To delve into these issues effectively, we endorse the open and peer-reviewed research standards.>
I HATE THIS SO MUCH, the cops are gonna use this to steal people’s decryption keys and so much more harm!
