Reply to comment by chocolatehippogryph in A recently submitted paper has demonstrated that Stable Diffusion can accurately reconstruct images from fMRI scans, effectively allowing it to "read people's minds". by iboughtarock

External "read only" brain wave monitoring is one thing. Internal direct interface chips is a whole other can of worms.

Computers are inherently insecure, and now you want to intrinsically tie your existence to one. OK when someone ransomwares your free will, the government fires off a kill switch or a rogue brain worm sends everyone into a bath salts style murder rage I don't want to hear a peep from the optimists.

There are already people receiving very beneficial therapies from secure and implanted brain-computer interfaces. The devices are built to make it impossible to deliver dangerous amounts of current.

The “optimists” in this case just have a better understanding of the current reality than you do.
