I don't want it to be real. My inner thoughts are fucked up, and I'd probably be imprisoned for those thoughts. I don't act on them, but boy do they invade my brain.

Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic.

Can't wait to have my thoughts hacked. "Hey guys! I've just decided super-techno-fascism is a fantastic system and I'm so glad to be living under it. Cyber-Leader is great!"
-
"Haha, this guy left the password on his brain the default admin:admin and I gave him memories of a wife and kids he doesn't actually have."

"Guys, I had the ephiphamy of my life while I was sleeping and... so I guess... White... Power?"
looks at mirror
"Hmm... what's wrong my with skin?"

The concept of direct brain interface is both exciting and terrifying.
We struggle to secure offline systems against determined attack, and my brain is not a test bed.-
You wake up tomorrow and now you now suddenly love Elon Musk
"Heil Tesla", you say, as you put on your swasticar armband.

Should be relatively simple to fuck with that interface though. After all, if you have access to the hardware, no system is truly safe. We'll have enough tinkerers and thinkers that will probably come from the same rich core that gives us FLOSS developers, and they'll have some real fun coming up with ways to fuck with anyone trying to read the machine.

I already communicate without speech, I'm doing it right now to someone I've never met and don't know the identity of, who is receiving only the thoughts I wish to share. Why would I go beyond that?
Besides, I can also share thoughts with those I do know without speech. I text my wife when I don't want the kids to hear our joke, I can even include pictures to get the message across if I don't have the words.

No, that’s how you end up with the Borg.

You will be assimilated, resistance is futile. Your technology will be added to our own. Embrace the inevitable.

I have a brain computer interface. It's called fingers. I can use my brain powers to communicate and even move moderately sized things with them.
-
You are not inside your brain. That’s an outdated concept. You are your entire body.

You really think these companies are inventing this stuff for your benefit? They will read your mind and force ads into your head so they can profit. It’s all about their profits.
-
Would it be telepathy though?
-
Asimov wrote a short story about exactly that: Liar

Great author

You don't need to be assimilated into technology to achieve telepathy.

So ready to have my brain messages harvested for ad targeting
