Brief

The post highlights Conduit's claim to have amassed 10,000 hours of non-invasive neural data from thousands to build a mind-reading model, notes Naomi Bashkansky left OpenAI to join Conduit and wrote about telepathy by 2035, and compares this to Meta's Tribe V2—arguing rapid progress will make voice and direct brain-AI interfaces feel sci‑fi soon.

Why it matters

Conduit has collected 10,000 hours of non-invasive neural data from thousands of people to train a model the author describes as able to "read your mind" (post published 2026-08-06).

Key details

  • Naomi Bashkansky wrote she resigned from OpenAI two weeks earlier to join Conduit as a founding researcher and says the team is training models to non-invasively read the human mind; she published thoughts on what telepathy could look like by 2035.
  • The author cites Meta's Tribe V2 (an AI that predicts how brains react to videos/images), reports switching to voice-to-text AI for interaction, and argues typing/scrolling now feels "caveman-like," predicting sci‑fi human–AI interfaces soon.
Source evidence

this is so damn cool. conduit has gathered 10,000 hours of non-invasive neural data from 1000s of people to create a model that can read your mind.

between this and meta's tribe V2 ai model that can predict how your brain will react to videos, images etc - i'm convinced we're entering the era where the barrier between thoughts and ai models acting on those thoughts is fading quickly.

since i switched completely to using ai models using voice (voice-to-text) i increasingly believe typing, scrolling on a clunky cell phone is almost caveman-like

human-AI interface is going to look very sci-fi soon

Two weeks ago, I resigned from OpenAI to join Conduit as a founding researcher, where we're training models to non-invasively read the human mind.

I've written some thoughts about what telepathy could look like by 2035 and how to get there:
