A monkey is literally playing a video game telepathically using a brain chip!!
quote:

First @Neuralink product will enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs

Later versions will be able to shunt signals from Neuralinks in brain to Neuralinks in body motor/sensory neuron clusters, thus enabling, for example, paraplegics to walk again

The device is implanted flush with skull & charges wirelessly, so you look & feel totally normal

And you're telling me this monkey with Playstation ESP just coincidentally shows up a few months after the Covid "vaccine" gets released? Nah....I ain't buying it.

I will take my shot now, though.

Is MindPong a Microsoft game?

Robot dogs controlled by monkeys could be a bad day for someone hoarding bananas.

Honestly though this is a major development.

Most impressive.

I wonder what the monkey would think of this game:

That is insane.

Dump more money into this.

Just imagine what we could do if we didn’t throw money at useless crap.

The applications here are endless.

This opens up the door for flawless artificial limb-brain interfaces.

Amazing.

I, for one, will appreciate my robot overlords.

ETA: Apparently a monkey-robot overlords. Gotta love the curveballs.

This is the initiating factor for a Cyberpunk society.

Computer-brain interfaces open an entire universe of possibilities from medical to entertainment to military to *insert anything you want*.

This is some truly scary stuff. Combine this with the 5/6G, Starlink internet of things....

If it can work in that direction (monkey thoughts>computer actions) can it go the other?( computer tells monkey to move)
Rhetorical question, of course it can

If it can be hacked then the possibilities become worrisome to say the least.

This demo is way, way more impressive than the previous demo with the pigs

It is a possibility, as with any computer system, that directions go both ways.

I do not believe that is a reason to avoid the possibilities that this tech offers.

Artificial limbs
Movement for paralytics

As with anything that functions via computers, external access and interaction is always a possibility.

We don’t worry about that with all of our other tech at all times and why can’t we expect firewalls and defenses like we do with computers and phones?

Scruffy, are you retarded? This is huge. Hardwiring a computer to your brain instead of you having to use the senses for output is some next level shite. Before too long youll be able to read peoples mind if their hooked up to the matrix.

Also people who are paralyzed. They can comunicate.

Scruffy wasn’t being sarcastic.

This tech is fricking awesome.

See if you can find a monkey playing the Star Spangled Banner, left-handed, on an upside-down Stratocaster like Jimi did.
