Brain chips and reading minds?

I know one of Elon Musk's companies is working on this and Klaus Schwab can't wait to turn us all into robots, but I'm not falling for the gimmick, "Think how easy it will be to communicate with others? Your brain chip will communicate with their brain chip. No need for words." How exhausting. Frequently the high point of my day is that no one CAN read my mind. :ROFLMAO:

OMG. No! Often at work my mind is swirling and it's not with anything good. I think bad things about co-workers (often deserved 'appears that bitch is going out for her 3rd smoke break' note: I haven't had one break and I'm overdo for my lunch break) I have a lot of negative thoughts. Sometimes I have to remind myself that my mind CAN'T be read because I think people are picking up on my thoughts but of course they are not.
 
The garment industry wants to track your behavior(for data collection/resale) with RFID chips. Maybe once the human race has been assimilated into a Borg-like collective, the desire for privacy and personal identity will subside.

As a science person that has read Ray Kurzweil's books on AI, at most within the next century, biological science will be able to accomplish minimal, limited interfaces and functions to our nervous systems. The notion of Borg-like interfaces or mind control is pure science fiction for the otherwise ignorant, unlikely to be possible for ages if ever.
 
I remember when I was in my teens, and a cousin of mine said that one day we will be able to see each other from a tv screen, I didn't believe her (in the 1970s). But lo and behold, now we can, through our cell phones, Zoom, and wi-fi. Don't ignore the warnings. If someone wants to hack your brain, it all begins with you being aware and giving them permission, voluntarily or involuntarily. We are the ones making choices right now. Let's keep it that way.

I have to say I'm very glad to hear this, @David777 .
