I keep reminding people that this technology was already in development, that Elon and is Neuralink isn't a unique invention...
Literally every business he's ever touched. He's not an inventor he's an exploiter.
Sure but everyone bought the iPhone, Steve Jobs was basically not a better person either.
Sure absolutely but also it's a bad idea to be disingenuous just because Elon needs a dick. This technology is impressive because it's fully internal. You don't have to wear some massive hat, it's a compact internal design. Does actually show some significant advancement
I would much rather wear a silly hat than have open skull brain surgery to implant a device that will stop receiving security updates in 5 years.
Go beat up on it it's not at all the same thing. By being internal it allows for much better connectivity.
It's a difference between having a sensor per nerve ending and a sensor that just checks average electrical activity. Completely different.
