Musk gave the timeline in response to another user's request to join human trials for the product, which is designed to implant artificial intelligence into human brains as well as potentially cure neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.Rivian uses one of Elon Musk's favorite job-interview techniques to determine which candidates stand out from the pack

"Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA," Musk said on Twitter in response to another user's request to join human trials."If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year."Musk has made similar statements in the past about his project, which was launched in 2016.

This is v dangerous stuff and should not proceed save for clear cut regulation with moral humanistic principles built-in. Musk has been flirting with a ‘fake’ brain concept for a long time now. It has clear medical applications but that’s it imho.

Here we go, the mark of the beast we've been warned about. Time to get right with your maker yo.

no. elonmusk you can't turn us into the Borg.

Funny how the right wingers are afraid of Bill Gates for what now?

We watched those things in movies. Are they making it happen now

There is no need to plant chips in us. We have chips in all of our smart devices, smart tv's, our vehicles and even smart speakers

Let's star it with him!!!maybe we can control him to reduce price on teslas😀

A thing to be proud of

Yoooo

Have they done any human trial?

He looks like he’s trialling one here

See you guys on the other side

Where do I sign up

Fuck no thanks! Yikes.

Black people won't be falling for this. Hopefully.

towernter svikawo pano

No thanks

But have you solved the scarring issue and the rejection process and the degradation of nerve cells near the sensor/manipulators? If so you’ve advanced decades of research. Where are the papers.

I’ll be in the queue, right behind Musk.

starlink IPO please. Don’t hog elonmusk

Google Tesla crashes. Then tell me if you would put shit in your brain that he made

He can't even make a car that's not killing people left and right because of software updates and sensor issues

Complete bullshit. When Musk puts shit in his family's brain if he doesn't become a vegetable I'll listen. Even then why happens when someone hacks that shit. It's like corporations want to convince people to do shit so they get more control of our minds and brains.

Is he going to plant one in his own brain?

Here we go again

no, thank you.

Why don't he plant that shit in his own head, his son AEx383747574 and his baby momma.

I’m thinking Tommy Tuberville

Give me goohhh

In unrelated news, mr musk is now funding a special town full of neuroscientists to further the dream of placing chips in brains. Name: limetown

I’ll do it elonmusk

Has the potential to boost human progress and productivity immensely. Or to ruin us all. Gotta test this as much as possible for safety and security.

Too soon. You too? I already had a beta trial program for radio waves to my back muscles around my spine to impact my brain pattern via radio signal messages to internal thought ©️®️™️

firearmslawyer Useful for folks experiencing unpredictable seizures, avoiding all sorts of other dangerous quackery they've turned to in desperation. Less obvious risk/reward ratio for everyone else.

What could possibly go wrong?

Sign me up elonmusk! 🧠 ⚙️

That's not what's being done. It's a set of cortex probes. Not 'computer chips' Besides the FDA approval on this will take years. He's probably going to have to go outside the USA for human trials.

Sounds a lot better than schlepping around these smart phones and wearables with all these damn cords. Where do I get my implant?

It’s almost ready!

Future: No more dying, just uploading.

As much as this is spooky, after playing cyberpunk 2077 im very interested

I’m in !!!

Umm what

Exciting and frightening

🤔 who will be the first? him?

Fake News

I feel like we already crossed that threshold sometime ago based on the recent rise in group think and one (any one, political, frat, sports, etc.) factor identity. Think about it if you’re able to.

In his head first.

How would one become a test subject? Volunteers or selected through medical agencies or what?

I have a green thumb, I can help

Love Elon, the richest African/American in the world, but I'll keep my fitbit on my wrist. I'm not letting Google implant a fitbit in my head.

Ambitious Startup

Why I don’t need a ElonChip

No I want robot arms not a chip in my head....I SAID ROBOT ARMS!! Ok I'm done.....ROBOT ARMS!

wida_vision

🙋‍♂️

Fucking elonmusk

Then they find out chips cause epilepsy and brain tumor. And alters you brain waves and makes you psychotic.

This shouldn't be allowed.

Bitch you will never plant anything in my brain. Period

Like deep brain stimulation?

I'm ready lets do it!

why haven't I seen public collaboration between him and Bryan Johnson. or at least discussion?

Hybrids

Will they have a self-drive feature

🤦🏻‍♂️ absolute whopper!

Me first!

And then BillGates gets the fame for microchipping folks. Talk about stealing the limelight without getting off the couch. thuglife

elon musk is probably the last person i want inside my head

“BiLl GaTeS iS tHe MoNsTeR”

He’s a fucking weirdo that one. He could save the climate but noooo let’s go to fkin Mars of become all robots

elonmusk make me more intelligent, increase my brain capacity

Give him one now!!!

NeuraLink or how I learned to stop worrying and love The Chip.

Yeah augmented humans just what we need. Some things don't need to be invented. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. Say it with me. Nuclear proliferation. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Fn morons.

ZaidZamanHamid

Hasn't anyone seen Amazon's show The Feed? This is a VERY bad idea

We going here now? Rev:13 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name

We are ready to plant chips inside the human brain, but auto OEMs still cannot close the yawning wide body panel gaps and fix poor quality chipping paint! Seriously?

Great. Stop experimenting on animals.

Maybe if it makes me invisible.

Good because the average Americans is challenged and has extremely limited mental capacity ... it should be mandatory for the 300 million Americans

Inhibitor chips 😂

That reminds me, I need to rewatch the movie Upgrade.

atheist_in_nc Not unless as an individual I have the ability to disable/enable it and security for it puts the military to shame.

The future of humans 😂

Wow. How surprising and totally not planned.

Neuralink emboldened by the speed of Covid-19 vaccine development.

If you’re uninformed on what Neuralink is for, rather than spreading misinformation and writing “MiNd CoNtRoL” actually read into what it’s for If you spread misinformation, you are part of the problem

Limitless!

Just get a room with him already. Or marry him. Or do whatever you need to do to get him out of your system so you stop.

Its for paralyzed people for the time being, calm down everyone.

There’s a reason it’s called artificial intelligence.

I may be old-fashioned, but I think I'll stick with wearables.

The digital billionaires under secret missions! How the world is gonna be safe? It is true that the world is under attack no one is safe no more places are gonna be fine for living.

SAI Crazy dude...

It has already started, the bio-androids are among us.

I would go for it!

WTF.

thisisinsider Uhmm...who's Elon Musk?

Psychopath.

techinsider So that we all become zombies in the hands of governments and billionaires...

elonmusk then we don’t need hands to use phone like we dont need hands drive Tesla car 😉.

This lad gonna end the world one day , he should be stopped.

You wouldn’t say know if you where in wheel chair and it will give you the ability to walk 🚀🚀

My brain is awesome the way it is. No Thanks.

Humans with brain and spinal injuries including paralysis* stop twisting words

Hard pass

No thanks
