You should listen to the latest Joe Rogan interview with Elon Musk.

They talk about that ... basically people being able to communicate without "mouth sounds" and other interesting topics.

I'm betting that humanity will experiment with an opt-in hive mind once the brain devices are fast enough

There is no incentive for the brain interface companies to offer an opt-in device. It will be opt-out (but may require a law AI to grok the privacy policy)

I think you could argue that we already are. Imagine you're an alien who discovers Earth. You see all these humans everywhere and wonder how they might be related. So you go show yourself to a big group like Beijing or Delhi. You immediately see activity from all over the world. Looks like a hive mind to me.

The difference you're describing is how far apart our brains are. This strikes me as an optimization over a phenomenon that the internet has already facilitated.

Btw, Elon Musk's entire podcast with Joe Rogan (the recent one from which this came) is an interesting listen - https://youtu.be/RcYjXbSJBN8 especially the parts where he talks about Neuralink, Mind Virus..

my pro-tip for watching JRE, set playback speed to 1.25x at least. Both of them talk really slow.
