"Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," Musk added. Reuters reported earlier this month that Neuralink was fined for violating U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials.
I don't understand owning a computer that you don't fully control but using prosthetics that can be remotely disabled? This is why we need true open source GPL brain implants.
Yeah, like this is technology I've wanted since I was a kid, the stuff I wish people were talking about when they say VR, instead of screens you wear on your head and motion-detection controllers. Video games are a lot better when they are dynamic and current VR tech can't really do that yet.
But that said, I'll die never experiencing that before trusting anything Elon Musk is involved with.
Didn't the animal tests lead to pretty bad deaths? And wasn't that less than a year ago? I can't imagine this going well.
Plus there was the blind-tech that was revealed not too long ago where now that they're bankrupt the group is slowly going blind and worse. I feel like none of this is going to end well.
If he hasn't gotten an implant when it moves beyond solving medical problems to being a consumer device that an everyday person would be able to buy, that'd be really telling.
But until then that's not how it works. They need approval to do trials on very specific things, such as working with quadriplegics.
We're probably decades away from non trials for only medical purposes.
Elon Musk saw the shitter episode of South Park, and was inspired by it. He hatched a plan. He needed a company working on brain computer interface technology, and Twitter to get renamed shitter. Nuerolink was easy to find, but Shitter was troublesome. He bought twitter, then in what only could be called by Elon Musk some sort of brilliance, thought he could tank the sites reputation so hard and give it a stupid brand that people would roll their eyes and switch to calling it "shitter."
Once that had taken place, he would be able to develop the technology, and finally release a platform that gave anyone the ability to publicly broadcast all their thoughts without a filter. And he would be loved for it
I want this but with the capability of uploading fake memories. Like in the Arnold Chachanege where he gets fake memories. But without all the violence. I just wanna feel like a million bucks every day. Maybe I'll remember how I made sweet sweet love the night before or something awesome like that.
