https://www.donotpanic.news/p/apple-just-bought-a-sinister-preApple has paid nearly $2 billion for a pre-speech tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza.
And Apple has paid this money, the second-biggest deal in its history, for a company that doesnt have a product, doesnt have any revenues and whose website is a single page containing 15 words.
The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors which map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before theyre spoken.
They call it silent speech.
Or pre-speech.
And its exactly as sinister as you think it is.
Q.ai was founded by Aviad Maizels, Avi Barliya and Yonatan Wexler, all of whom honed their skills by testing technologies of apartheid on Palestinians. Maizels is a former commander of Unit 81, the IDF division which builds Israels offensive cyber weapons. Barliya, according to his LinkedIn, was an intelligence officer in the Israeli air force, while Wexler is a former Unit 8200 agent.

And given his obsequiousness around Trump, you can bet he'll be happy to share this mindreading-via-AI with the Trump regime and any authoritarian succrssors.
