Just install debian on it.

You can't, hardcoded, it's a chip, connected to Musk servers via Google

Yeah, but what are electrolytes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

They are what ~~maximizes shareholder value~~ plants crave, ofc!

And what is it that plants crave? Why, electrolytes ofc!

You barely can control cursor with your brain, it is impossible for the chip to control what you see. Maybe in a century...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah, no need to be so pessimistic. I'd give it another decade or two.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's been several centuries and yet the brain is still a big mystery for the humanity. I don't think 2 decades would be enough. I'm not saying that I'm against cool technologies, but such a progress is hard to imagine being done so "soon".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Technological progress follows an exponential curve, why would this be any different?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Technological progress can follow an exponential curve. It doesn't have to. Which is why we're still using the same basic pacemakers that were invented in the 1950s. Nothing better has been invented for people who have the sort of heart conditions that require pacemakers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you're right, it's more of an S-curve for any particular technology. But I doubt we've seen the climax of brain-machine-interfaces.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I hope not for the sake of paralyzed people and the like, but I wouldn't trust an Elon Musk company to be the one to do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just feels unimaginable. But it's interesting to see what the future will bring us.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I'm massively optimistic about the rate of tech development, I think we'll have some really world changing things in twenty years but I really cant see brain implanted AR being a thing for a long time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It won't stop people from trying all sort of shit even if we don't know how the human brain works.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

And you will never need more than 640kb of ram. :)

Every piece of new technology is impossible until it suddenly isn't anymore

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What is your benchmark for success? A brain chip that can augment reality? In my opinion the real potential for a brain chip is more of a technology to expand accessibility to people who can't control their bodies. Also in my opinion, no one should trust Elon Musk or anything he makes so Neural Link I don't think highly of. The potential to provide people with severe mobility challenges another means to interact with the world is something worth developing. That I can see happening in a decade or two. A general purpose brain chip, yeah a hundred years plus, if ever.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Under capitalism? I wouldn’t trust any sort of tech implant. I say that from the comfort of my full physical faculties, so maybe it’d be different if I couldn’t, but Jesus I cannot imagine being at the whim of any tech company.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

at the end of the day, youre still trusting them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Them who? I ain't trusting nobody.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

neuralink. and im not directing this at you specifically, but anyone who will get the implant, believing that it's read-only

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Ghost in the Shell is rapidly becoming a documentary.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm never getting a brain chip.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You need one or we'll have to let you go from our company, thank you for your understanding

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Joke's on you, I'm disabled

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Preferable to ads, which I assume is the profit incentive to ever develop the technology in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?

Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines, and movies, and at ball games, and on buses, and milk cartons, and T-shirts, and bananas, and written on the sky... But not in dreams, no siree!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Can't wait to be able to "hack" asshole people randomly, a permanent rick roll is only the tip of the iceberg

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

"For long-term memories, please sign up for Neuralink Blue. Only $8 a month!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Never thought I’d imagine Captain Babosa as a cyber punk pirate, but here we are

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

who needs a neuralink chip when just looking at the pictures in this meme caused the song to start playing in my head

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

You know the rules and so do I.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

When Elon didnt want to path the xz backdoor so you get remote-rickrolled

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

they tried to warn us

This is very tame compared to what we'll actually see. Hope you're ready for goatsie burning a hole in your retinas/mind's eye.
