From some dystopic device log:

    [alert] Pre-thought match blacklist: 7f314541-abad-4df0-b22b-daa6003bdd43
    [debug] Perceived injustice, from authority, in-person
    [info]  Resolution path: eaa6a1ea-a9aa-42dd-b9c6-2ec40aa6b943
    [debug] Generate positive vague memory of past encounter
Not a reason to stop trying to help people with spinal damage, obviously, but a danger to avoid. It's easy to imagine a creepy machine argues with you or reminds you of things, but consider how much worse it'd be if it derails your chain of thought before you're even aware you have one.

This reminds me of "Upgrade" – a sci-fi movie about a paralized man who gets an AI brain implant, which can move his body for him. It's pretty decent.

Can you imagine having chatgpt in your brain to constantly police wrongthink? Would save the British media a job.

It might be able to react fast enough to prevent the horror of the wrongthink reaching twitter.

When it infers illicit intent, it "corrects" you by biasing the output: a misclick here, a poisoned verb there... phantom intention drift™ injected into your parietal lobe milliseconds before your conscious even boots.
