Did you ever see Terminator 2? You probably have. Obviously with how AI research has been going berserk the last couple years, #skynet is in the brain.
However, up until about fifteen minutes ago, I hadn't really focused on when John Connor (played by Edward Furlong) says to the Terminator "We're not going to make it, are we?"
This is what prompted that thought. Meta research can now with about 66-75% accuracy predict what you are thinking by your brain waves. This of course takes some big expensive machines today, but as we all know, what computers are big and expensive today will be tiny and cheap tomorrow.
Fuck.
