Hardware: looks nice.
Software: big NO. Anything from Google is a red flag for me.
If there was a hypothetical phone with this hardware with iOS, that would be really nice.
Readit NewsBut can't the bad actors use the same APIs to ensure that it's passing this first?
Speak for yourself please.
No one can dictate who can watch something or not.

And I'm sure it will improve as the electrode placement and NN is optimized. Accuracy also may improve if the speaker can learn to slow their 'speech' and perhaps add brief gaps between words.
I wonder if trying to enunciate distinctly would help?
Its potential to recognize such a large range of words is also encouraging. That implies the signal is quite rich yet deconvolvable.
Agreed. It's fascinating to think about (no pun intended) where this could go, but also I can't keep myself imagining a world where this tech is ubiquitous and everyone's wearing those casually and it's all "cloud" connected and how it can be weaponized against users by governments and TLAs.

TBH 74% accuracy is quite impressive for a device that "reads thought sentences".

That's the most American comment. Inventing a 2 party idea when there is none and justify their positions based on that.
I'm not American but... That's why I explicitly stated if I were to work for one of them.
As in a hypothetical scenario where someone pointed a gun at me and told me to pick one of them to work for.
Otherwise there many better and worse options.

Sure. Between Meta and DOGE or the ICE, Meta seems the lesser evil. OTOH, why work for someone evil at all? Aren’t enough jobs out there with ethical organisations that prioritise, or otherwise favour, common good?
That was just a thought experiment for comparison.
Of course there are much more ethical places to work at.

Okay I don't have much information about this whole attestation flow and one question boggles my mind. If someone can explain this in simple terms, I'd be thankful:
The post says build the repo and get the fingerprint, which is fine. Then it says compare it to the fingerprint that vp.net reports.
My question is: how do I verify the server is reporting the fingerprint of the actual running code, and not just returning the (publicly available) fingerprint that we get result of building the code in the first place?
I also tried sending a "hello" message anyway, and after it, another completely empty incoming message was added.
Am I missing something obvious?
