    I’d be on board with Neuralink… if Musk wasn’t behind it.

    Think I"ll wait for an open source brain chip

      It is a really interesting, very scary technology that requires a solid institutional foundation to provide trust. Musk degrades trust, he doesn’t build it.

      I’m not sure I’d even trust a fully local open source one.

      The issues about trusting hardware and software development tools all lead to problems here.

    I think you people are vastly overestimating how much we actually know about the brain or severely underestimating how freaking complex it is.

    The “you” reading this right now, is a fucking stack of six A4 sized sheets, each one nanometers thick, and crumpled into something which, by all appearances, looks to an external observer as an oversized walnut seed, cooled and maintained by a network of 400 miles capillaries, and isolated from the world by the blood brain barrier, which can only be described as a fucking miracle.

    No. No one is going to be implanting any memories soon

    Don’t worry, soon enough someone will figure out how to install Gentoo on it, and then you can have a headache every time you compile packages.

    Companies are constantly being called out for selling user data, imagine the shit that will come out if this shit goes mainstream. Then multiple that but all the stories about a Tesla going rogue and you pretty much end up with the worst possible idea ever.
