Researchers in Japan are for some reason really, really excited to inform us all that, soon, MRI machines will be able to literally see our thoughts, reading our minds and peering creepily into our souls. Apparently they don't realize that no one is going to pat them on the back for inventing something that sounds more 1984 than Murder, She Wrote.
Scientific American vaguely describes some borderline cool stuff the technology could do- you know, maybe help people who hallucinate, or something, then goes on to utterly fail at journalism when it neglects to mention all the ways it could totally fuck up everything, probably because there isn't enough memory on the internet to hold that much information.
Someone needs to put these excitable Japanese scientists in their own Frankensteinien machine and find out the real reason they've created Artificial Intelligence which can't be lied to or tricked, because I'm willing to bet it has nothing to do with the expansion of human knowledge, and LOTS of things to do with Japan finally retaking the Asian mainland while the rest of the world adjusts to psychadelic cartoon animals permeating every aspect of our existance.
Hopefully the MRI machine can't read my mind from here, since I'm currently plotting it's introduction to good old American Carrie Underwood's Louisville Slugger. And I don't need any fancy science-majigger to tell me how the Japanese are going to feel about that.
