What's /pol/'s consensus on Neuralink? Is it a mind control or thought reading ploy? R*ddit seems infatuated by the idea of sticking electronic rods into their brains.
>Since its founding in 2016, Neuralink has been extremely secretive about its work and has only recently revealed the full extent of its prototype.Shouldn't they be more public about this kind of research? Why were they hiding so much about the Neuralink before 2019?
>The brain implant consists of many small threads which are nanometers in length, and could receive and send information from individual neurons, previously it could only do so in groups of neurons and information would have to be filled out algorithmically, which would take up a lot of computing power. The threads will be around 3 millimetres in length, in total.Good, because I want scar tissue to form and to become a retard. Don't stick needles into your brain.
>As quoted by Elon Musk in his most recent interview on 20 July 2020, the Neuralink can currently let you 'stream music directly into your brain'I wonder what else they will stream into my brain? Will they unconsciously influence my thoughts?
>Elon musk, in a previous interview, said that it is entirely wireless and 'like Bluetooth for your phone'. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA77zsJ31nA)Perfect, because I want some stranger hacking into my brain chip and doing all kinds of nasty shit. No thanks.
>The Neuralink will be able to access portions of the brain and restore or enhance motor function, speech and language, vision, as well as being able to regulate mood in those with mood impairments, stop pain in those suffering from chronic pain disorders, better manage hunger and thirst in people with eating disorders, increase memory capability or restore memory loss from dementia and trauma, and increase mathematical reasoning abilities.Sounds way too good to be true. If it's really tapping into such important parts of the body, I don't want a machine to have access to it.
