'Mind-reading’ tech being used to monitor Chinese workers' emotions
- Thread starter Tarot Deck

It'll be cheapo passive electrodes that (when not disrupted by moving, blinking, hair, sweat) will tell you the overall alpha, beta, delta power distribution. There are certain alpha/theta combos that are good for telling you when you're "in the zone" in terms of working through a problem mentally, or when you're sleeping, but really it's a crapshoot..
A coming societal challenge will be coming to grips with how to keep a tiny ruling class from using advancing technology as a multiplier to their ability to control and/or influence the general population.
I can imagine some dark times ahead before that is somewhat resolved.

So you could be laid off for just having that embarassing thing you did years ago pop in to your head. Thanks brain.
Yeah this is not the mind reading technology people may think of when reading the article, it's quite simple in comparison. Still, not a great trajectory of occurrences for the future of this tech.
There's a tech where you can use Google search using your mind. Science be crazy.
Social media over here is basically the "lite" version of this. People spending all day every day trawling social media to start fights with other people they claim they can "read their minds" and know more about them... when talking to complete strangers.
This is on a whole other level of fucked up though. Far different when the state is eroding your privacy and committing crimes against humanity than annoying people consumed by social media who think they can mind read.

I don't need "mind reading" tech to know Jeff Bozos is gleeful right now.
This would be cool if companies installed psychiatrists as part of their human resource staff but 99% won't.

I'd say social media addicts reveal a lot more than this test about themselfs.
I think it's too late to change anything honestly. It's basically over, we're just in the last struggle as the hand closes in to crush our throats
...What?
I get the feeling you've never been to china. China has been "out-capitalisming" the USA for quite awhile now. America is so slow and so far behind it's not even funny.
Just my slightly offtopic thoughts on a state/Government trying to mindread and what I feel happens socially with social media ~ Citizens attempting to mindread other citizens on an "industrial scale". The difference between trying to use hardware to erode citizens privacy and read their minds, versus social engineering.
China's going down one path of 1984, but I feel some countries in the West are going down another with being chained to social media. Tweets and Facebook hot takes are almost more important than actual communication. Whereas China has basically outlawed emotion and not only that, wants to then read the minds of the citizens scared to speak their mind.
If any employer walked up to me and told me to wear such a hat for such a reason, I'd laugh in their face while walking out the door giving them the finger.
Yes, it is, big difference from the state enforcing something like this. However, many people in the West are utterly consumed by social media and by choice, can't help filter their existence through it and all the latest tweets.

In theory since you'll be monitored they'll know your thoughts and put you in an institution before you can.
Just saying.
Between this and the social credit system they are using, if China are the new top dog the world is fucked.
Damn, China. The hits keep on comin'!
Next up: fired employees (traitors of the revolution) served as lunch food.

Literally just watched Psycho-Pass last night, this shit sounds like it was copy pasted straight from it lol. Dystopian as fuck
