The joke is that something Elon’s companies make actually works reliably.
The joke is also that the burning car was a Tesla, and if Elon could, he’d push a patch to copy/paste his face onto any memories of firefighters found in a Neuralink customer’s brain
I was gonna say Tesla but he actually bought that company, and it doesn’t do as well anymore
Actual augments like this will never work if they phone home to do their job. There could be massive benefits to people with a huge variety of conditions and interests, but if it’s corpo ware and isn’t hyper protected by medical review, and long term support, it’s junk
Just play Deus Ex to see the potential ramifications. That and I know things go to the lowest bidder and I know what developers are like….
I’d be on board with Neuralink… if Musk wasn’t behind it.
Think I"ll wait for an open source brain chip
I’m not sure I’d even trust a fully local open source one.
The issues about trusting hardware and software development tools all lead to problems here.
Yeah if a bug or a hardware failure can make me see nightmare spiders everywhere or send a signal to my pain centers, that’s a permanent no.
Yeah, basically IRL plot of Snow Crash.
It is a really interesting, very scary technology that requires a solid institutional foundation to provide trust. Musk degrades trust, he doesn’t build it.
His maga fanboys would ram a rusty nail into their skull if he tells them it’s the hot new shit.
Sounds like he doesn’t need to give them neuralink, then.
