One thing is probably true: You have to train on the individual person, and it’s not transferable to a different person. Similar to how when taking an LLM and training on the fluctuations of its neural network to “read its thoughts”, the training results won’t transfer to interpreting the semantic contents of the network activity of a different LLM.

So you probably can’t build a universal mind-reading device.

You can't build a universal mind-reading device that doesn't require calibration.

  • And when you can build one, you will also get telepathy, telekinesis, clairaudience and clairvoyance. I can't wait until I can send a directed thought to someone else.

      Oh no, we're going to have ads inserted into our thoughts, aren't we?
