      I was talking about the historical presence in sci fi and pop culture of fear of mind reading machines in general, as opposed to this specific one. But I mean, do you think cities are spending tens of thousands of dollars because they don’t think it works like that? They at least believe they can convince people that it reads minds.

      People really just got annoyed about you missing the context of a comment (science fiction and cultural depictions of the future) and asking clarifying questions until you got it.
