You'll rent frontal cortex space to AI processesing and be happy.
That's stupid, Total waste of resources. I use UberBrain and rent my brain and body out from 9 to 5. Sure. I wake up sore and have no idea what my body has been doing or where it was, but I get ten dollars an hour for basically going to sleep for 8 hours.
Severance is a fantastic show.
Haven't seen it
Cyberpunk 2077 "joytoys"?
Nope, But I'm not surprised. The idea has been explored multiple times in different media.
You basically just described it. Amazing show, very much recommend watching it.
I'll put it on The List
I've seen this probably a dozen times or more in cautionary scifi stories about why we don't want that, but like, somehow I still want that.
If it's open source hard and software than you better be sure im gonna get it. If it's closed source however im gonna stay faaaaaar away
Reminds me of the movie Gamer. Scary shit.
I've seen a YouTube video about it sometime ago. Seemed like a bad movie, but with a cool concept.
I actually didn't think it was that bad when I watched it. But then again, I'm not really good at figuring out when a movie is considered "bad" 😅
I just hope the first victim will be a techbro
Musk and his board at Neuralink should be first test subjects. But we know that'll never happen. Thousands of people will receive brain damage as they submit for trials hoping to have horrible conditions lessened.
Musk himself would be just fine, just like Frankenstein.
Add to the weird billionaire death list, with his narcissism, maybe.
Carbon Fiber submarines you say?!?
The first person to receive the neuralink is a paralyzed individual with no quality of life. This may help them communicate with their loved ones.
I don't get why people don't see that this is a medical device.
People do understand this is a medical device. What you seem to not be getting in this situation is that Elon Musk is an absolutely horrible human who has a long track record of badness. There are plenty of reasons to be pessimistic that this project will end badly for people who aren’t him.
Awhile back it was discovered that Tesla had quietly programmed Autopilot to disengage if it detected a crash was eminent. Why? Because they were asked to report how many crashes occurred while autopilot was active. Their solution was to game the system rather than actively try to solve any potential problems and be honest / critical of what they had built. This is a system that already has the potential to get people killed. Do you suppose that sort of unscrupulous decision making is going to stop when his people are implanting devices in human brains?
Medical devices aren't supposed to kill their users, which is what happened in the animal testing phase. It didn't even have a single successful case of doing what it's supposed to.
Jesus, it didn't? I already know I never want this horrible thing and I know all those monkeys died so I don't read about it in depth, but they never even got the thing to work? Somebody needs to stop him.
It did work in terms of output, I'm pretty sure. It's just that all the monkeys (and pigs) died due to complications, and some had gruesome deaths
We get what it is. We just don't remotely trust the self-serving conman behind it.
What you're saying here is "The first victim is an incredibly vulnerable person who deserves so much better than being offered false hope by a manipulative bastard with a God complex."
Picking suffering people to prey on only makes him more of a bastard.
Cause they've been hyping it up as the next big thing for everybody
But how will we know if it causes brain damage or loss of free thinking?
You ask them what they think of Musk after being so close to him for a couple of days
I hope the first victim will be Musk. But even he doesn't drink the koolaid as hard as the average techbro.
With my new NeuraLink™, I feel an odd compulsion to buy a Cybertruck™ with my entire life savings.
Gabe Newell is also working on this kind of tech and I trust him a helluva lot more.
Society collapses due to collective inability to perceive the number 3
They produced a trilogy of duologies. Gabe operates one layer above our perceptions.
I LOVE IT! IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN CATS! I'M GOING TO BUY NEURALINK™ FOR ALL MY FRIENDS!
Philip K. Dick / Vonnegut vibes
Of all the futurists, Mr. Dick wins for modern distopian accuracy in my opinion.
Elon uses doge coin and he's proud of it...
I am a proud dogecoin user since 2012.
Elon and his punp n dump schemes can go fuck himself, he practically tried to destroy it with inflation.
Zero percent chance elon will do this to himself, it should tell you all you need to know.
Are you saying someone else will have to do it?
I'll need a bonesaw and some ketamine
also maybe some stuff for the surgery
i mean the fact that their website hasn't been updated since september should give you a feeling of doubt about the veracity of elon's claim
