Yeah, the presentation is a tad dystopian.

Still an eminently cool breakthrough, though I've read that BCI's are hackable and that notion sounds pretty scary.

for real! this should be about how we are on the precipice of letting people with debilitating conditions enjoy their lives and spend time with people they care about instead of immediately saying "just think of the implications for shareholder value!"
