    Remind me again, how many monkeys died an excruciating death because of this implant?

    He also says Teslas are fully self driving, and we know the truth about that.

    Any idiot can say any dumb ol thing that pops into their brain. It takes some wisdom not to.

    And it will not let you vote unless there’s an R next to the ballot selection, otherwise it tells your brain to drop the pen

    Elon musk also says it’ll let you shit flowers and breathe hard vaccum. Melon husk just makes shit up whenever he feels like it. It’s not going to stream music into your brain. They still can’t even get it to stop killing the testing animals.

    I do audiology research and can tell you right now, short of a cochlear implant -no we can’t. And we are easily about two decades away from anything close. And even then, a CI can’t make music sound as good as your ears. There is no ‘one’ place in the brain you can imput music into. The most dense and easiest place to input the music is in the cochlea, like a cochlear implant does. Every place up the chain then branches out to thousands of connections and makes it harder and harder. And every step higher up that you try to interface into means you are skipping the initial signal generator and lose out on all the needed fidelity. The next step above a CI is an ABI, auditory brainstem inplant. And they sound so bad, just going one stop up from the cochlea, that those users barely can understand speech and only in the best settings. And normally after about a year of auditory therapy with it. Realistically we tell people (the handfull a year who will end up with one) that they should expect to get sound awareness, and that’s it, from their ABI. And now Elon talks about wanting to go another half dozen steps up from that and magically have the fidelity to make it sound like music?? GTFO. This guy is a moron and doesn’t know what he is talking about.

      Plus, it’s really not worth the problems associated with brain chips. Even the Neuralink Human Test subjects ran into the same problem we’ve faced for decades: the connecting tissue dies. It might work for a few months and then people are going to need ANOTHER brain surgery to either remove it or fix it, if it even works multiple times to begin with.

      I wonder who they’re going to name the disease after when repeated Nueralink failures cause irreparable lifelong disease.

    I wouldn’t trust anyone to put this device in my head, but Musk is the absolute last person I would trust. Look at what he did to twitter and now imagine he has direct access to your brain.

    Do exactly what we want, down to the movements of your eyes, or you will be in unimaginable pain.

    I don’t see what is funny about this. It absolutely will be used for egregious human rights violations.

            I’m talking about human rights protected by the United Nations. Your rights are covered no matter where you’re from. Why on earth would you think this is an American problem? Please be educated.

              I’m just saying, america seems like a country where this is more likely to be overlooked, than other, more developed countries.

                Your prejudices aside, it has nothing to do with the discussion about Neuralink or the rights of future humans who may be affected by rights violations. Your comments just seem to be making a lot of noise and complaining? Not sure where you’re trying to go with this. Sorry buddy.

    Interesting how it’s ok to shit on technology helping disabled people as long as it’s being developed by a bad dude. If you hack a neurolink you should be charged with attempted manslaughter

      I’m pretty sure everyone in this thread agrees that hacking a neuralink is bad. they’re saying it’s made by Tesla so they don’t trust it out of fear if being hacked and that that is a bad thing. not sure where you disagree with these people.

      Not trusting the provider of that tech is a damn good reason to be skeptical of something a person (disabled or otherwise) puts in their brain.

      It doesn’t have to be a hack, it could also just be incompetence. And judging by Tesla’s software track record, I’m not terribly confident in the overall safety of that device.

        Yeah I would never put something like that in my head but it’s obvious it’s targeting disabled people first that don’t have much of a choice right now.

    If you have ADHD, you don’t even need a Neuralink chip. Music is always playing in your head, whether you want it or not.

    For example, seeing this post just triggered a rickroll in my head and I can’t turn it off.

    Sounds okay, until it’s enshittified to play ads or other messages you don’t want. Then they eventually don’t let you opt out.
