I would love a brain implant. I want to live in the Matrix, I want to have the Feed. Just not from him. Never from him.

If there were a software that aught to be in control of the user (rather than the developer) then it’s software running inside of you.

When things really matter all we have is conversation or violence. If our understanding of neuroscience gets good enough… this is where violence can/will happen.

The first patient had a bunch of wires dislodge but according to the company they’re ‘more or less stable’ after some revisions, so it sounds like a typical Musk product ready for mass production lol

I have seen the engineering failure that is the cybertruck, no thanks.

Gotta harvest massive amounts of training data somehow. Thats the way to stay ahead.

DaddleDew ,

Day 1 after implantation: this is great! I now have photographic memory of everything! Best decision ever.

Day 20: I’ve memorized so much so fast, I’m going to have to go for the next higher up subscription level to unlock more storage.

Day 200: I’m running out of space again. Going for the plus subscription.

Day 600: ran out of storage space again. I can’t afford the next higher subscription. I’m going to have to start deleting unnecessary memories. My brain has lost its natural ability to make and retain memories by itself. I can’t even function on a daily basis without free storage space.

Day 700: I have run out of memories that I’m willing to part away with. I still can’t afford the higher subscription. Luckily there is a cheaper tier. All I have to do is give NeuraLink full access and rights over my memories for marketing and AI training purposes.

Day 900: They have increased the cost of subscription. I can’t afford it. I’m going to lose half of my storage space. I have two days to choose which of my memories to keep. The rest will be no longer accessible to me, but will still be used by Neuralink for their own purposes as they own those memories now.

Day 1200: the chip will no longer be supported next month. I can’t afford the new model. It will be disabled in 30 days.

Day 1235: I have just found this diary. It explains a lot. I only wished it told me what my name is.

You forgot the part where you agreed to let them harvest your organs if you fail to pay your subscription fees.

Also, suddenly you’re unable to say negative things about Elon Musk for some reason.

He hopes to woo advertisers back by beaming ads directly into your most treasured memories

You’ll get all of Elon’s brain farts beamed straight to your brain.

Don't really like the guy but the implants are for people with disabilities that stop/hinder their ability to interact with the digital world, which is certainly fun and exciting for those who want that ability. It's a shame Musk is the figurehead for many of these projects because his brand is dirt to anyone that isn't neck deep in blockchain, AGI, culture war, and general scam content.

They’ve existed for decades but required a “helmet” like device.

There’s no people waiting for this who can’t use the existing and safe tech.

We were literally doing this with monkeys 50 years ago, and Musk killed all his monkey subjects because they couldn’t even do basic brain surgery in a sterilized lab

Now he wants to do it to humans.

I really hope this technology advances enough to help people in their daily lives. By neuralink or other people idc as long as it’s good.

The thing he seems to have forgotten is that unlike the automotive industry where the regulation is designed to allow companies to fuck up then fix things as long as they have the systems in place to fix the fuck up and to know when they fucked up, the medical device industry is very much designed so that the default stance is “this is dangerous and will kill people” unless you can prove otherwise

Lost_My_Mind ,

I thought the default stance was to leave people in life crippling debt for having the audacity to use the hospital.

Only in the States.

Another weird thing that Conservatives want to do.

While complaining that “the left” are trying to inject tracking chips into our bodies.

Many of their conspiracy theories are distractions from the very real and very scary conspiracies they’re actually engaged in

Imgonnatrythis ,

I do love this. They worry about Bill gates doing this, a guy who is primarily focused on putting toilets in Africa… When an electric car guy (they used to hate electric cars) wants to literally microchip peoples brains but also gives mega money and a platform to the GOP, he’s great, no conspiracy theories to be found here.

I bet this evil fuck has all kinds of patents around this idea so when someone who isn’t a psychopath James Bond villain wants to help people with disabilities by developing a similar device…they won’t be able to.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Cool, he can want whatever he wants, but I’m certainly not going to be one of them.

Bold of you to assume you’ll still have a choice.
