Everything about this screams fake. It also all sounds like a horrible idea. They’re basically discussing traumatizing inmates at 10x speed. Given that a lot of criminals come from a background of trauma, I’d wonder here if you’d be doing more harm than good. There’s claims in this article that are absurd, without some form of clarification. What the hell is a “creative scientist” as a title—I’m not familiar with that discipline. Also, let’s uhh say am that all this was real, and possible. This tech would be a net evil in the world. If you can use it to brainwash inmates into cringing when they think about doing crime, you can also use it to torture dissenters into conformists. Given that the tech is already aimed at an element of the state security apparatus, there’s like no chance this wouldn’t get used for much worse purposes. I think they’re also misunderstanding how prison is used in many places. In NA, prison does not seem to be about rehabilitation, but just punishment and getting free labor.
I watched the video from the “creative scientist” has on YouTube and unless someone has further info, this looks like a completely speculative fiction project.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is satire, right?
This can’t be real?
First of all it’s almost certainly torture and human rights violations.
Secondly, never mind freedom of speech - now you can’t even have your thoughts to yourself.
Fuck. That.

This reads like an April Fools joke.
Brain Stapling… nice.
It’s a lot of fancy words but they basically strap a tv to your face and force feed you gore while they zap your brain and make you feel like shit.
I was expecting venture capitalist pipe dreams and the usual disconnect, not full on Gitmo lol
These freaks took a Clockwork Orange for a manual.
