  • We were afraid of mind reading tech when we should have been afraid of polygraph 2.0: pseudoscience garbage used to manufacture evidence for the state.

    • what's that

      • What’s a polygraph? They hook up a bunch of sensors to you to check your breathing rate, pulse, how much you’re sweating, etc and claim to be able to read from the output whether or not you’re lying. They can’t, and it’s been inadmissible as evidence in court in the US (and AFAIK most other places) for decades.

  • This feels way to close to DNA evidence. Everyone assumed it was foolproof even when it wasn't
