America will completely fail to regulate this as it always does. Soon enough advertisers and credit agencies will be reading your thoughts.

Why? Because it’s a gold mine for some individuals willing to throw $5000 at a few dozen politicians reelection campaigns. Public interest be damned.

Naah just capitalism. To America, money is the meaning of life. More money trumps everything.

I don't think they were calling the other user a tinfoil-hat wearer.

I think they were (joking) suggesting it as a solution to the problem of advertisers reading out brainwaves.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago

Aha... Didn't get that. Thanks. :)

I thought they were $10,000

Not if you don’t wear a sensor on or in your head

In less than 10 years some type of implant will be mandatory.

[–] potatopotato@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

At an absolute minimum 20. We aren't seeing any useful systems that work on any scale at all yet. The iphone made smart phones pseudo mandatory but they were preceded by decades of development with several generations of usable devices. If I had to guess it's probably closer to 30 years if tech decides to go in that direction which itself isn't guaranteed.

Care to explain?

Finally, we can be safe from thought criminals.

Meanwhile the data from the cops implants: . ….. there doesn’t seem to be any activity

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Man, I dunno. My brain suuuuuuuuucks. Whats the value here?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they want to use it as a signal repeater for ddos attacks.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

Hahahahaha... Fine, fine, have the upvote.

Figuring out the best way to manipulate money out of you

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Day by day, Psycho pass dystopia is becoming real. Getting obliterated by cops who shoot at people for having thoughts outside the box is not stressful at all I swear /s
