Sagebrush posted:i sent this link to Peter Watts a number of months ago bc it's exactly like one of the things in one of his books, and he always has these afterwords where he cites the current-day sources that lead to all the future stuff he comes up with, and comments on which things from his previous books he got right or wrong  my favourite is when he cites things that already happened that he didn't know about at the time lol

What do the sensors actually do, though? Any whitepapers on this kind of gimmick tech?

SpaceAceJase posted:What do the sensors actually do, though? Any whitepapers on this kind of gimmick tech? they measure tiny electrical currents in your brain. it's comparable in functionality and accuracy to, say, a thing that sits on the edge of a lake and measures the waves and tells you what kind of fish are swimming by.

It's not really for mind reading; those things are more about people learning to produce the signals that make the device do what they want it to do, regardless of the actual thought they'll sell it as a mind reader though also, if only people came with some type of manipulators tied to their brains, maybe we could call them mindfingers or something

I suppose if it can roughly tell the difference between sizes ("big fish" "small fish" "medium fish") and has a good data source of local fish size and species distribution it could probably get fairly accurate? And now I'm thinking about fish and trying to remember the MECC video game that had you start off as a little fish and you were presented with various theats/foods. You had to decide if you were going to eat, ignore, escape deep, or escape shallow (ignore was only a real strategy late game when you were big and the nutritional content vs. cost to catch for some of the early game plant food types was out of sync).

cogsci nerds are pretty quick to assume that their tools' measurements are somehow noumenal even though the entire field of science has an axiomatic bias against observing dasein
