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".

I haven't seen anyone excited about neuralink, ever. Maybe it helps that I don't read Twitter though.

I'm picturing that one day people will need guides on how to "jailbreak" their own brains, because they want the be able to live without the constant advertising and recording. Their brains no longer belong to them but the companies

I'm in the awkward position of being genuinely excited by this type of technology while desperately wishing literally anyone but Elon Musk was pushing them.

This game's advertising is so effective, people voluntarily put it in memes (myself included).

What other proof do you need to realize that it ends badly? The recent cases of Ransomware don't worry you at all?

Deus Ex Human Revolution was such a nice game

Given musk (with no cave diving experience) called the expert cave diver a pedo when he was told the sub was useless, threw an obviously annoying sign on the roof, started a stupid tunnelling company which would have taken 3 mins of market research to realise won't work in reality.. I hate to think what crap ideas he contributed to the researchers.

The only people who should even remotely consider it, are people who are terminal and who get paid millions by musk
