Neuralink successfully installs brain chip

Elon Musk’s company has successfully installed a brain chip into a living human. Musk said Monday that the first Neuralink product will be called Telepathy and initially used by people who have lost the ability to use their limbs. “Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer,” he wrote. “That’s the goal.”
While most companies remain focused on therapeutic treatments, Musk has angled for a wider application, suggesting that the technology could be used to enhance human function more broadly. He’s spoken of putting humans on a path to “symbiosis with artificial intelligence” and suggested he would get the technology installed in his own brain someday.

​@@utubesuxalotofazzmusk's one obviously doesn't, but it is him trying to get into a tech sector that does already exist in limited forms and seemingly in a way that commercialises it. As the short mentioned this chip is sown into the brain while most other forms of the tech are not so invasive and are primarily meant for either as said bypassing gaps in spinal pathways to give people (back) motor control, or to make interfacing with certain more advanced prosthetics more seamless. The biggest danger though is that generally musk's chip has not had a fantastic record in pre-human testing and that whole commercialising thing could threaten to turn something that up till now has been exclusively a medical device into something far more mundane and possible abused, which is the entire background setup to the Cyberpunk franchise and the cyberpunk genre.

Um, for future reference, commenters, this doesn’t actually give your brain information. All it does is read your brain activity, which is iffy at best. Neuralink’s procedure is unnecessary and really really lethal too. Sewing anything onto your *brain* is an awful idea, especially considering you can do the same thing with a helmet. It’s also not even new technology, elon is an advertiser at best and this stuff has existed for years and years, and once again he is just recycling old ideas but much more dangerous and much worse. Edit: A lot of people misunderstood what I meant by unnecessary. The technology itself is amazing for paralysis patients and amputees, as well as people suffering from locked in syndrome, it’s in the video we both watched. Look into synchron, it’s a biotech company that has had their tech working since human trials were authorized in 2021. It’s minimally invasive, and already works.
