I think we have to rely on government interference here. If we want to be saved from the worst abuses of things like that, I don't think that there is much incentive on the side of the corporations to not scan our brains and use all of the data. They don't gain anything by not doing that. So there will be a race to do that. As neither Farahani was trying to do, we need legislation that prohibits that,. You want to establish some legal principles that will let people have countermeasures when they think their private brain data have been abused. Baltimoreians have a great attitude in many ways. People in Baltimore are the nicest people that I've ever met.
Welcome to the April 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
