Elon’s Neuralink brain chips may start human trials next year

Thoughts on this technology? The idea of a brain chip is terrifying but at the same time if it really does work to fix blindness, disabled people and Alzheimer’s and was used solely for these purposes it would be revolutionary and improve quality of life for many people.

Elon Musk said on Wednesday he expects a wireless brain chip developed by his company Neuralink to begin human clinical trials in six months, after the company missed earlier timelines set by him. The company is developing brain chip interfaces that it says could help disabled patients to move and communicate again, with Musk adding on Wednesday it will also target restoring vision. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, Texas, Neuralink has in recent years been conducting tests on animals as it seeks approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin clinical trials in people.

Excellent, they only killed 15 out of 23 monkeys in the animal testing run. Will fit in perfectly with the Tesla AI driver killings.

Counter argument: we don’t need to keep artificially increasing the lifespans of sick and elderly people.
Society cannot support it.

The Argus II has been around a while and is FDA approved. It basically converts optical signals from a camera to electrical signals your brain can understand.

Our Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System is intended to provide useful vision to blind individuals severely impacted by RP. It combines a miniature eye implant with a patient-worn camera and processor to transform how you experience the world.

Name a single technology ever where this has been the case.

I can't wait for the Raspberry Pi versions!! Just think of the possibilities!

It is the future, sci-fi has been telling us this for years.
I suggest you people start catching up on Black Mirror episodes.

If it allows the blind to see and Alzheimers to be a thing of the past. Bring it on!

It's going to be nice until those monthly subscription fees start... then when you don't pay your monthly fee, the chip gets turned off...

What size neuralink are y’all gonna get? A .22 would probably work for me if Elon aimed good

And yet, I can see public support for it. Convicted felons and mentally ill seem likely candidates. Cheaper to implant a chip than to house and feed a prisoner or patient.

No thanks. Riding in a self driving Tesla is creepy enough for me.
