Much as I think the tech is cool, I don’t trust Musk’s company with it…

All I can think of is being forced to have ads play in your brain when I think about neural implants. I’d rather die.

We’ve actually had this tech since the 80s with VEPs, and since the 90s with BCIs.

If Musk is in charge it’s a grift so he can make money off of hype valuations.

Didn’t one of the last dudes have the chop fail and basically be told that it was outdated and nothing could be done?

i mean technically we already had cyberdecks since the 90s:
a cyberdeck is any portable computing device, you can even find Bartmoss cyberdeck and it’s basically just a laptop

I’m just saying, we’re already living in a capitalist dystopian nightmare that, unlike Night City, tries it’s best to pretend we’re not.
Let’s just tip the scale already so we can get to the neon and Cyberware.

I wouldn’t trust anything musk puts out. Let alone let his company put anything in my brain.

If this stuff is coded the same way Musk ran the DOGE (and probably still does, just not publicly), then I’m itching with anticipation for when the first actual mind-virus comes into being. Security exploits on implanted chips are gonna be a *whole fucking new world* when it comes to cybersecurity headaches. Potentially quite literal, lethal headaches, if someone can get into a chip in your brain and overload it.

I would never put anything that Elon musk owns in my brain

There is literally nothing that could make me put that in me, I would rather die than have a chip in my brain

I’ve feared disability my whole life, separating me from being able to enjoy my hobbies.
I no longer fear disability.

It’s all well and good until you get them forcing unskippable ads into your brain like in Futurama

Isn’t this basically just advanced eye tracking?

Fuck giving Musk a backdoor access to your mind.

Neuralink has a major flaw… It directly puts probes into your brain.
Now, your brain doesn’t like things poking into it, and in a few months time will develop scar tissue to encapsulate it. Meaning that everyone who has gained some functionality via a neuralink will lose it in about that time frame.
There are other competing technologies but none are sensitive enough yet.

Literally Biotechnica, knew there were issues but still went ahead putting it in a man’s brain.
That’s so cool! But at the same time, i don’t trust any company to not spy and manipulate people with it.

I keep thinking that this would provide like instant movement – think of a spot, cursor goes there.
I’m assuming it’s more like – think of constant moving the cursor to where you need it to go.
Anyone have any insight how this works/how much effort it takes?

Well, we know how to get signals from the brain for a few decades. It’s not hard at all unless you want accuracy as high as, let’s say, arm replacement requires. But still very much within what we can achieve in near future.
Harder part would be to add a feedback that brain doesn’t need to spend 15 years adapting to. Like we can read your mind and control cursor, but we can’t inject a HUD into your vision or inject a mental mobile phone in your brain.
Cochlear implants is the closest mass use we were able to achieve, yet it takes a lot of adaptation from brain and isn’t something plug-n-play.
If you put cyberware interface in newborns and stimulate it enough for it to be a significant portion of useful sensory input… Brain might be able to develop with cyberware *in mind*
