What’s the weird problem- I’m supposing that it’s concrete and not hypothetical, your using this as a analogy for something your on the fringe of doing.
I can to a high degree figure out what people are thinking- it’s reading body language. People get me wrong from my introspective lack of, and vice versa, I get them because it’s something I’ve always pursued. I’ve come to accept people lie in general, and learned not to hold grudges on this. Even very stupid people are opinionated in intimate details in suppositions, and it can hurt others hearing that opinion. Used to hurt me alot, till I shifted to a examination of how that thought is maintained and how ti is varied against other kinds of thought patterns that pop up in daily life.
In the end, fuck. Alot of misinterpreted signals… and the world isn’t that into you, and when it is, you wish it wasn’t.
I think people will become very quickly like old people in a retirement home… just don’t give a damn- they know as well as you how lame their situation is, but they apparently know better in how to get by in… getting by. What cana 80 year old say to another 80 year old they haven’t heard in countless variations in the past?
As to intellectual property- if it’s stipped from out heads- essentially WE wrote it, and our copyright would apply. However, you can’t copyright a idea. There is a issue with patent infringement, and it’s very likely a society capable of stipping information from someone else can also show they authentically thought it, and had it stolen… engineering and economic data exploiting someone else’s idea isn’t the same as creating a idea a idea to operate within your own personal understandings of how the world works- discrepencies and a degree of reverse engineering will be needed.
Secondly- unless it’s been worked out externally, if it’s purely mental, there will be a lot of discrepencies in how thoughts THINK STUFF SHOULD BALANCE OUT, and how it actually balances out. Symmetry balances out well, area of complex geometry… not so much. A engineering idea isn’t going to balance out until it takes other aspects into play, and those aspects are usually proven on paper, as the mind doesn’t juggle to many strands of complex throught very well. Yes, there are techniques around this, but the vast majority of people won’t use them, as classical models of memory retention are not in vogue anymore. So most is going to be half assed jibberish, as your question focuses on ACTIVE THOUGHT and fits the needs of the individual in thinking. What they thought a hour ago on it is REFERENCED TO, and not necessarily included in the package. Your grasping at fragments.
You might get ‘hey, I should make this new phone I’m inventing have this chemical in it… like how jim made it bond with the screen that time’ and the thought comes with a picture of ‘Jim’ in the lab spilling a chemical on a screen by accident. However- it doesn’t say what the chemical is nomenclature wise, nor the way the screen is made- so you don’t really grasp the chemistry of it, and furthermore, much of the bulk of the visual information may not be authentic memory, but how the individual IMAGINED Jim to be spilling it. You don’t know how he was using thing information before, or what he actually plans on doing with it. He might go up to Jim, and say ‘yeah, let’s use that stuff’ and he will say ‘oh, your needing to factor in so and so into your outlook to make it work.’
Along with this little fragment of information, you also get a fragment of him fantasizing about tapping that redhead’s ass on the other side of the cafe, and some random shit like 'Koala Bears eat Eucalyptus leaves, but not all kinds… that cup has bamboo leaves on it, and it reminds me of Eucalyptus trees, if I was a Koala, or wanted to get one for a pet, how would I know what are the right leaves? Would I have to steal it from Australia, and smuggle it out?
This is important, as the human mind doesn’t have a google search page- that shit might get labeled and jumbled in the immediacy of this thought as ‘important’. You might be looking for financial cues, and pick ‘koala bear’ in his thought pattern and have to wait till it’s decyphered before you can realize you got worthless shit downloaded from him. Or ‘priority’ can be the redhead, liking her style, instead of the ‘style’ of the new phone.
It has potential for abuse- and success, but just picking up on immediate thought for corporate intelligence efforts can backfire as even for really smart people, the bulk of their ideas are going to be incoherent and refereencing to OTHER IDEAS, and those ideas aren’t going to outpace the frequencing of other, much lamer ideas. Partial ideas.
If this is just a segway to the Ethics of downloading employees private information on personal phones and personal email accounts, no- unethical and illegal, even if stipulated otherwise contractually by lawyers in very scary legal language. It’s still unethical and illegal, and that contract is unenforceable in a court of law. Such technology as this is going to be underground playthings of security specialists. Advertisers ultimately are going to be stuck taking external behavioral cue data in the long run- if a AI in a camera sees your eyes shift to a object in the window, it’s going to be legitiamte for it to target you for a sale on the same basis as a babylonian shop keeper calling you out to buy your wears if you glance at him even for a second. It’s legitimate for a salesperson to pay attention to behaviorism, to ASK you questions about yourself to find out more, but realistically, the public won’t tolerate for long highly envasive, involuntary data being documented. Just as the police will pick you up for digging through someone’s trash ‘despite them not wanting it anymore’,taking paper documents (not talking about college kids taking a thrown out couch here, I mean a person looking for documents you threw out) it’s information theft, common in frauds such as identity theft, and legal or not in your jurisdiction, police do respond very fast to this- I’ve seen it happen. They will make a scene of the situation at the very least to alert others.
