gollark: For now it'd be neat if there were actually good AR glasses available. Google Glass got killed off, and there was this company called North doing similar stuff but... Google bought them and killed them off too.
gollark: Brains are very adaptable, so perhaps you could just dump data into some neurons in some useful format and hope it learns to decode it.
gollark: I'd be *interested* in brain-computer-interface stuff, but it'll probably be a while before it develops into something useful and the security implications are very ææææaa.
gollark: It's still stupid. If the data is *there*, you can read it, no way around that.
gollark: This is something where you could probably make it actually-secure-ish through asymmetric cryptography, but just using a symmetric algorithm and hoping nobody will ever dump the keys is moronically stupid.
