Please see my bio for the full rant. The key take-away is:

> While we missed the boat on Internet tracking, there is still time to avoid sailing through the final frontier of neural tracking.

> Thanks to the BCI, we will soon be offered the trade of our privacy for the convenience of password-free login and faster typing. Next, there will be a quick TSA neural scan prior to boarding...

This is the most pessimistic take on this tech here. You can view anything with the same lens.

		I’m trying to not be snarky here, but it is difficult to have an optimistic take about an advertising company working on mind reading technology. At some point we have to call a spade a spade, I think.

		I ain't young. I have seen this all play out before. It's just extrapolating based on what we did with cookies, browsing history, cell tower data, etc... unless we pass very strict neural privacy laws, why wouldn't it go the same way? The decent news is that if you search "neural privacy laws," you will find some states are already on top of it, a bit. We need national laws, in every country ASAP. This needs to happen before there are billions in economic inertia behind BCIs.

		The way to not get the most pessimistic outcome is to work for a better one, and to do that you have to first recognize the danger

		Saying "this is the most pessimistic take" doesn't make for good discussion. Something can have "good takes" but still run an unacceptable risk of ending badly

I'm not sure whether to be worried or not and I am not talking about whatever you wrote but for your own sake , it seems to be extremely paranoid style of writing

		It is impossible not to sound like a kook when discussing this topic. I think anyone in 1995, who was accurately predicting our current state of privacy would have sounded like a paranoid lunatic as well.
