If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval
I think it's the sci-fi fantasy of it. Like being able to download knowledge like the matrix.
In reality the real use of these is to help people with brain injuries or disabilities.
Elno wants to grift people on the former. Literally everything he does is selling people the knock off wish version of something from a sci-fi movie/book/game.
Musk aside, BCI will be a significant part of human lives in the distant future, they will initially aid existing tech but as the technology advances I can forsee a black mirror-esque future with our brains having a digital component.
Yeah same here, I'm much more curious about Valve's foray into BCIs. GabeN mentioned in an interview a few years ago that they're closer than we think and I want to know what he's cooking up.
Exactly what we need, billionaires tinkering with brain chips. I‘d rather die than have anything from Musk in my head, bad enough the knowledge of his existence is in there.
He wants to use this technology to "cure autism," which sounds like it's coming from a position of self-loathing, projected onto everybody else. If he wants to stick chips into his brain, fine, but personally, I don't need a cure for the disease of being me.
In capitalism, there is no doubt this will be used to compel labor. Imagine if your boss or some authority could inflict severe pain that causes no physical damage until you comply? Hello neo-slavery!
Sounds dystopian, this sounds like an episode straight out of Black mirror why the hell would anybody want to support this?(or is there nobody aside from elon supporting it?)
This sounds like something that everyone else is going to not comment on until they see how it turns out. Not to mention that it is way too early to even test on humans cause the monkey trails ended badly. Though I’m sure the Musk fanboys will line up as fast as possible.
In socialism, there is no doubt this will be used to compel labor. Imagine if your commissar or some authority could inflict severe pain that causes no physical damage until you comply? Hello neo-slavery!
In an authoritarian socialist society maybe, like a USSR of 2025. Socialism doesn't imply authoritarianism, e.g. libertarian socialism, anarcho-communism
This is a huge nope from me. This is a company that is spearheaded by a man with negative sense of morality and should not be involved in anything that is this morally grey.
