    I can already stream music into my head, and all without invasive surgery. What an innovation.

    More like … a permanent watermark in your vision whether you are awake or asleep for ‘X.com’ … or you have to pay $9.99 a month to remove it.

    Am I the only one thinking, what if they hack it and make people’s heads explode? I’m good on all of this if it’s ever a thing. Considering how much control they have over cars remotely, you know they will have full control of this, and that’s pretty scary.

    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.

    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.

          As long as the tech or the software doesn’t become obsolete, or the company doesn’t go bankrupt.

          You know about the blind people that were able to see for a while but the company making their implants went bankrupt, leaving them blind once more, as their their implants will eventually all stop working?

          Yet in 2020, Byland had to find out secondhand that the company had abandoned the technology and was on the verge of going bankrupt. While his two-implant system is still working, he doesn’t know how long that will be the case. “As long as nothing goes wrong, I’m fine,” he says. “But if something does go wrong with it, well, I’m screwed. Because there’s no way of getting it fixed.”

          It’s obviously understandable to want to try something, anything, to help with a disability, but relying on private for profit companies for experimental medical devices is far from ideal.

          Addendum: Also, disabled people are unfortunately often used as an excuse to push agendas. “We can’t have a bike lane there! Think about handicapped people using their car!” Or like "Tesla’s FSD will help disabled people get around No need to fund dirty dangerous public transit!! " Or again “Neuralink is going to help disabled people so they must have good intentions and obviously not plan on selling these to the general public eventuality. It’s purely for the embiggening of society!”

          FSD is soooo full self driving that blind people can’t use it as it requires constant babysitting, and more importantly, a driver’s license and thr ability to drive a car… for a car that’s supposed to drive itself.

          Anything coming from Musk is obviously a scam. He’s a con artist. He will say anything to convince people. He keeps promising his shit is always just on the verge of revolution but it’s mainly just empty words for hype.

          Helping the disabled is probably just an afterthought for Neuralink. People are so desperate, they will try anything, and Neuralink will be the creep profiting off them.

    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.

    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.
