Like. Its good. To. See. What they like you know that i got. Was that we. Would. Be. A. Lot more on the watching the hawks are able to read and im tired of all this and joining us today to discuss the legal and ethical end of the new brain to computer interfaces was legal and media analyst lionel offline on media thanks for joining us. I like the ethical part because when it comes out the x. Your guy. Was sued the ethics i am the standard bearer of that dont laugh i am you know im a both you and me were not going but i love your show right now is a little you know i think many people still believe that this type of technology is you know buried deep in our future but we actually are very close to this becoming reality and i was reading some words like within 5 years even lionel are you ready to let facebook read your thoughts rather than take the time to type them. Promise me this well 1st let me thank you for talking about this because i have been screaming about this to the point where people are saying is he. Because we have this cutesy idea about oh its not great like robots isnt that great a i r 2 d 2 how sweet danger Will Robinson oh i Love Technology which is the way it always comes about. Let me ask you this question in reverse you know when we have. This perennial subject of today aqua fatty or trans union had millions and millions of of Social Security numbers hacked that people go crazy one have somebody hacked my brain to start off without one its a nice thought anything you put in me anything that you are able to either through telepathy or telemetry or anything how about this reading minds through my vocalisations you know when we think something believe it or not we sometimes say it and there are little pieces of almost that tape as you can place on or about the the throat area to pick up actually pick up micro vocalisations how many times have you watched something thought about something and on your screen lo and behold google wants to sell you that. Burial plot when you were thinking about and passing away now there is a rule here if youre hearing about it now its 5 years old but anything you hear now and then what they do is they also they enter it they start to talk about it like maybe one of these days we could sucker berg says you know maybe one day well be able to do to 2 thought coming and facebook them is already in the works so my question is who prevents or even thinks about not the evil dr no or somebody but somebody who just wants to hack your thought change your thought affect ability perhaps create the perfect warrior the perfect student the perfect spouse the politician i mean where does this end and is anybody even thinking about it those are my course those are those are really good question where are those available. And which brings me to want of what you said the. Might well of a vacuum. If i think one of the biggest concerns is this idea of taking something that could be really brilliant to help you know people with physical disabilities and all of that and turning it into this idea of neuro capitalism and cyclists they should have our data you know i am all for if we can help people with that but what is this idea of neuro capitalism and what are some of the dangers you know that it can represent to people you know were all Walking Around looking for you know a little alexa to just make life a little easier but whats the danger and the. Well the danger is number one is unregulated because theres nobody and this is i think of the most important part is that when somebody comes up with this there is never the ask the system valving because we are so tech crazy im a tech nerd hey im a Silicon Valley guy ive got this new thing where you look at you look at a phone and it opens it isnt that cool. When you have a generation that has been. And brought up in captivity who doesnt even appreciate what the notion of privacy means how my supposed for the 1st part 1st time introduce them to it then begins to into the notion of transhumanism let me talk about that for a moment isnt it great that somehow we can actually by virtue of science. Allow somebody who has lost a limb to to have it replaced and to have it done say mostly through thought yes what could go wrong with the 1st person who ever made a naive fool said i have this great device here it cuts and i can use it to skin animals and here would you like to see it and he would like probably stab you know alfred nobel we know those stories so every single thing that weve ever done whether its from the you know the aspirin probably to now has saved more lives probably would even be allowed in the market today its that dangerous so whats it going to be and. That is going to come under being presented right now because a researcher at Zurich Marcelo has proposed a sort of international recognize right specific to our thoughts and our brains in response to this new technology in fact chiller has 2 bills that would make brain Data Protection a human right but they cannot go in and mess with your thoughts take your thoughts mess with your mind business or governments and i ask you is that i will we should be talking about should that be in the halls of congress do we need to clarify a set of rights for our our thoughts and our minds or does our existing laws already protect them do or does our bill of rights already have that protection and would just be overkill. Bill of rights no but youre on to something how do i take a generation and because lets face it the older generation were gone for in the back 9 nobody cared about us but do you but but the newer folks ok and i speak only for myself here but if i could somehow take the interest that we had overnight in ringback paid. Her straws recently it was something id say are you seeing this people who dont care about anything war as our eyes jim all did nothing but all of a sudden by god were not going to have Plastic Straws if i could say good you have that in you you have a century and part of you you have an impasse think part of you now lets see if i can take that a step further lets talk about somebody taking over your mom and taking over your and dont be dont let some smooth talker come in to say listen tyrrell and have that whenever a comedian speaks hes affecting your opinion whenever somebody shows you a film we understand that that what makes us human beings stop the gobbledygook at the poppy cock and stop this what were talking about is simply this do we have either ombudsman do we have our own ethical standards where we say yes go ahead and implant something to stop seizures were all for that however you have to satisfy us that this device cannot be put in to make a person more malleable to make him voted a particular way to make him buy something or thats thats what we as a citizenry have to do collectively we most of it would do it thank you for using the word poppycock by the way right now at all of what i mean if you. Dont have to offer is a poison of your own but its a once or. Thank you.

Just to look for common ground. I. Ready ready ready am sure to stop at the continuing to grow.

But. Theres no reason the more kids you take things that are to me the movies on the move Something Else that needs to be loved and everybodys scared to talk about it survival is truly dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we cant even have a conversation of that it then. Were in trouble ready. The protests in hong kong show no signs of stopping even in the face of threats of force from the police and even as a number of activists with the with the men within the movement were arrested over the weekend r t americas Michelle Green sting is in hong kong the latest. These days in hong kong what starts as a peaceful rally often turns violent citing this violence the Hong Kong Police banned a march that had been planned for saturday they warned that anyone in attendance would be liable for arrest. Or unlawful valan. That didnt stop thousands of hong kong years who came out to march anyway fight for freedom stand with hong kong liberate hong kong and hong kong is not china these are all chance that ive been hearing this afternoon its saturday and protesters have been out in full force for the better part of the day even though those marching were breaking the law Hong Kong Police wouldnt make the 1st arrest until much later. A saturday evening sets and protesters around government orders police hold up a warning that reads disperse or we fire some try sending flares and petrol bombs over the barricades as police stand on the roof with a rifle at 6 pm someone sets one of the barriers on fire eventually the pepper spray comes out then the tear gas and finally a water cannon sometimes its laced with blue dye away for the police to identify suspects later as the sun sets hundreds of riot police move in to break the siege demonstrators warn each other and retreat here you can see some of the bricks that protesters have been throwing at the police we also saw some petrol bombs being thrown by these demonstrators as well now over here you can see that riot police have arrived to push back against the protesters that were approaching the Legislative Council and now this because all the demonstrators to start marching that way after retreating from government headquarters protesters build a massive barricade and set it on fire using petrol bombs its about 7 30 pm and a fire has broken out in the one side district now this is right in front of the headquarters of the Hong Kong Police. The Fire Department arrived about the fire at this point the protesters have advanced to the next flashpoint causeway bay the police are not far behind at causeway bay protesters prepare for the arrival of the riot police on the front lines they tied tripwire their arms and bricks and cocktails when our camera man tries to. Accord these weapons protesters shield them with umbrellas i was able to get some of this footage with my phone when tear gas was eventually thrown by the police protestors through the canisters back the night culminates in 63 people being arrested for criminal damage possession of offensive weapons and explosives and Illegal Assembly since the protest had been banned on sunday protesters set up a barricade around the airport with luggage cart they disable security cameras and damaged property they blocked access to the airport and forced travelers to walk miles into the city their damage of the nearby metro station forces its closure monday night remnants of the weekends events hang in the air the demonstrators have blocked both the red and the yellow lights at this traffic stop to have the sign read Free Hong Kong now its monday evening and the scene here in front of the government headquarters is actually pretty calm weve had students mostly young people i got to say i have not seen a Single Person that looks over 25. 00 in this crowd here tonight Hong Kong Police say a total of 159. 00 people were arrested over the weekend the situation remains fluid and beijing has reminded the International Community of its authority to declare a state of emergency in hong kong if the unrest and disorder persists through watching the hawks Michelle Greenstein r t. 1947 the House Committee on unamerican activities subpoena just started with 79. 00 hollywood actors screen writers and producers on the claim that they were subversive and that they injected communist propaganda into their films now some are comparing the cold wars darkest days what america turned on and turned in their fellow americans for the crime of having a political view some did not like which brings us to 2019 when the Hollywood Reporter noted that President Trump would be attending a fundraiser in Beverly Hills thats on Television ActressDebra Messing calls for the Hollywood Reporter to quote please print a list of all attendees please. The public has a right to know of course political contributions are Public Record and massing along with anyone else can find out who has given money to the Trump Campaign all by themselves i dont mean the Hollywood Reporter however the idea of making a list of people who may have attended a political event smells distinctly like 50 shades of mccarthyism and to make matters even weirder massing took the attention on her comments to post an invitation to text her for more indepth private discussion with the will and grace star take a listen. Twitter is great but i wanted a way to communicate about issues and to go more deeply than we can on twitter so text me. Crazy. Maybe but what is entirely unsettling for so many is whether Debra Messing scholes for lists will stop at the top brass of producers and financiers or will it spread to which cinematographers caterers and production assistants will be allowed to work how many will lose their careers their homes their livelihoods for another cold war red scare that history will of this or a just as brutally as it did the last one and will those like messing ever understand how dangerous their rhetoric truly can be boy thats a that is a really good question because i dont know at this point when i see folks do you know what i see her doing Something Like this i have to sit back and say dude are you not aware of the shaky ground youre walking on calling for maims to be maimed and im not a supporter of donald trump
