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.
Whatever it is, it'll probably start with "wake up Mr. Freeman"
Finally, Mecha GabeN is near.
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.
When I look at what he's done to Twitter, I definitely think 'yeah I want this dude's chip in my head!'
I wouldn't trust Musk if he told me that water makes things wet.
He's a snake oil salesman.
Ha! Him first.
What a fucking echo chamber this place is. Rename the community to /c/FuckMusk and get it over with
Well the best way to not have us talk about Musk like he's a moron is for Musk to stop acting like a moron.
I want a brain chip in theory.
I don't want any current human to have anything to do with it. The average human's comprehension of life, consciousness, what it is to be human etc are so far behind ideal, I wouldn't trust anyone currently alive to start testing a direct brain-computer interface.
In several hundred years when we have Trek style space communism, sure!

I'mma call it right here, shot will go south, quickly, people will end up in prison, and Musk will somehow not be one of them.
i give it max a year or two after the first implant before we read about trials starting in the headlines.
So you expect trials after the trial?
<3
I mean, it didn't go well for the monkeys. Maybe if they are fucking people up, someone will stop them, but I doubt it.

Just like complete FSD is only a year away... And how about that Cybertruck
Given a descendant of this technology has the potential for seizure moderation, which is something my sister basically will need as the medication she uses will inevitably require doses that would destroy her liver or leave her all but vegetative. It's super interesting from a technical aspect and hyper-relevant.
However, given Musk's antics especially as of late? I wouldn't trust him to not accidentally intentionally kill people, or use it as a way to have an unremovable keylogger with the end goal of 'Oh those are some nice eyes you've got there,' or 'lovely able to live without going into convulsions isn't it? It'd be a shame if that changed.'
If someone offends him on Twitter and if they got a brain chip, it's the end of 'em.
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.
