Commodification of everything you think off Past/Present/Future.
The department of pre crime would like to know your location
Neurolink is a grift by an idiot billionaire that drank his own koolaide.
FDA should regulate me being able to run Linux on it so I can tile on dwm with my MIND
He just took control of "his" starlinks to shut off Ukraine, anyone who doesn't think he'll do something similar with these is oblivious.
Based on how many monkeys Elon has killed, I'm not sure he'll have too many volunteers.
I won't get a brain chip unless there's laws passed banning using them for advertising or for data collection, but knowing our current government those two things will end up being mandatory
And then the next government just reverses that law. Doesn't sound fun.
Despite Elon being insane, the idea of brain-computer interfaces could be really great. I'm thinking of people with disabilities or debilitating injuries. This could enable prosthetics with full dexterity that you can control. It could be life changing for some people.
I don't know if that is the first thing Elon is aiming for, but any breakthroughs in the technology that could lead to it becoming a legitimate option to improve people's lives, I think would be a good thing.
I’ll never put a chip in my brain unless it’s a life or death thing. But this is totally going to be what our cyberpunk future will be.
I would be down for it if it was a local only connection, no internet, it would also have to be fully owned, no license. I wouldn't even want the cons protocol to resemble tcp/ip
Orwell tried to warn us. Apparently that wasn't enough. The implications of the neurolink, a chip in our brains, seems like a bad idea. The meme is on point. Constant ads, which are out of ones control, might drive people to madness. Imagine having no space to think?
I'd never opt for it unless i couldnt function without it, and I sure don't wanna live forever in a computer, or at all. The potential for abuse is astronomical. Let's hope we have fought for a massive shift in consciousness before this comes to full fruition, right?
I'm amused how Neuralink was a highly regarded breakthrough celebrated by the likes of Reddit/Lemmy folks, but once Musk was revealed as an idiot, Neuralink is suddenly "lobotomizing".
Musk burned through 44 billion dollars to acquire Twitter and then he wrecked it. This is not a guy who has a plan. He only cares about that dopamine hit that getting his name in the news gets him. Now he's got his own social media platform that only exists to blow him.
