    What the Golden State Killer did was illegal at the time of the crimes. However, my thoughts are not actually crimes right now, so I can not be persecuted for them.

      I think in 2008 there was this Indian case of Udit Bharati who was accused of being killed by his wife through poisoning. They gave her brain scans and said that her brain lit up on certain evidence that only the killer would know of – so she’d be guilty. I remember there being some controversy around it because they said that the cops could have seeded some of that information before questioning to induce this result or something. I think she was released after and I’m too tired to figure out what the legit sources of this are and the conclusion but I think it was a bit of a mess.

      Apple already has a patent to put them in ear airbuds.

      Edit: guess you all know where my mind is at without the mind-reading ear thingies.

      They will likely be powered by LLMs and thus just as faulty, if not more, than traditional lie detectors.

    Fascists always dreaming of the next fascist thing they can use to scare people.

    In this case, fictional fascist bullshit.

    This guy should be more worried about the alien grass that covers the entire planet in 2035. You know, stupid, cheap fiction that can’t be confirmed or denied for another 10 years. “But it’s so scary!” - fascist.

    “But you’re jumping to conclusions!” - says guy dreaming of the “United Empire of Earth”. Right the fuck out of a fascist playbook. Empire, my ass.

      TIL that the authors of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, the Handmaid’s Tale, Fahrenheit 451, are fascists.

      Thanks for educating me!

      Damn now I feel so sinful for having watched Star Wars already, god damn George Lucas, I didnt know he was a dirty fascist!
