The Neuralink team has done an incredible job at avoiding the terms "mind
control" and "mind reading", when that is exactly the product they are
developing. Every single talk from Elon Musk about Neuralink, and everything on
the Neuralink website describes the benefits on mind control. They mention
things like how their "brain-computer interface" can be used to "help people
with severe spinal cord injury", and how human-computer interactions could be
made more effecient.

They do a good job at failing to properly mention the potential negatives of
commercial mind control. Who's computer will my brain be connected to?
