I didn’t know about people, but there is no way I am getting a fucking electronic chip installed in my brain, no matter how cool it might be
It should only ever be imo used to help the disabled and that too without any involvement of someone like elon
Non invasive BCI capable of the exact stuff neuralink has demonstrated has existed for a while and its probably a much more viable way to help the disabled than cramming chips into their head.
What if it's a suppository.
🤔 How girthy we talkin' here?
Can it vibrate?
I mean, it is up to you.
I mean, it is up you.
Now this is what I signed up for.
This technology is evolving so fast it wont be long and a non invasive wearable will be able to do exactly the same.

Still around, too: https://www.gtec.at/product-configurator/unicorn-brain-interface/
$1,200 US entry price might seem a bit steep for a "fancy game controller/keyboard" to the able-bodied, but the QOL improvements for disabled people easily eclipse that.
I saw colleagues using a more robust device ~9 years ago, and it was bonkers. Completely puts Neuralink to shame.
EEG can’t input analog inputs, neurololink is accomplishing an entirely different tech, so that’s quite literally impossible. Sorry.
Then what is your plan to learn about upcoming things like the new pampers absorption technology 4.0.1?!
