Your thoughts are no longer private

BrainGPT: AIs can now literally spy on your private thoughts

Imagine putting on a cap & reading silently to yourself…except every word appears on a screen!

Yes, the AI literally reads your brainwaves

You silently think: “High quality film with twists”

BrainGPT says out loud: “Good flim, twists interesting”

The model is only 40% accurate right now, but that number will likely rise rapidly. And soon AI may not need the cap to read your brainwaves, because you leak tons of data that future AIs will be able to pick up.

Where might this go?

There are already over a billion surveillance cameras on earth, and the main reason there aren’t more is because because humans can’t go through all of the footage. But AI can.

So, if you thought there were a lot of cameras now, you aint seen NOTHING yet. And they’ll now actually be used to surveil.

In other words, the AIs will have “billions of eyes”. And the AIs won’t just see your face, they’ll see your thoughts.

If we aren’t careful, we’re hurtling towards a surveillance dystopia with no private thoughts. Orwell on steroids.

Some will read this and think “thus we must open source/decentralize” – but as Vitalik says, that doesn’t necessarily solve the problem!

If AGI is winner take all, open source may just accelerate us to the cliff faster. And if we open source everything, we’ll have no kill switch. And no safety guardrails. And since there will be more people in the race, it’ll be harder to coordinate.

Even the best utopian scenario of a fully automated “solved world” is actually dystopian AF !!!

I want you to picture this:
You wake up tomorrow in your bed that adjusts to your perfect sleep cycle. Your coffee brewed exactly how you like it. Your news curated for your bubble, your entertainment selected for your mood and your feel… NOTHIN! Cuz somewhere in the night while you were sleeping, the world learned to run without you.

Your job… AUTOMATED! your creativity… REPLICATED! your expertise… DOWNLOADED! Your perspective… SIMULATED! your passion projects… GENERATED IN SECONDS!

You sit there in your perfect automated morning with your perfect, personalised everything and you realise:

NOBODY CALLED! NOBODY TEXTED! NOBODY NEEDS YOU TO SOLVE ANYTHING! NOBODY NEEDS YOU.  NOBODY NEEDS YOU TO CREATE ANYTHING! NOBODY NEEDS YOU TO SHOW UP! NOBODY NEEDS. NOBODY NEEDS YOU.

And that feeling you’ve been pushing down,

that dread creeping up your spine, that voice you’ve been silencing, finally speaks…

“Will I matter anymore?”

Do I… matter anymore?

(To be clear, I don’t approve open-sourcing, as it’s probably exacerbating things, but just highlighting the hypocrisy)

The AI does not love you. Nor does it hate you, but you are made out of letters that can be used to spell something else. ___OK_______
