The event showcased a video that Musk said showed a monkey using a brain implant to control a cursor and type on a computer. It’s not a brand new technology, as researchers have been working on devices that can decode brain signals for a practical purpose for decades. For example, allowing a person to type words or play video games with only their brain has been done before. Musk noted during the “show and tell” event that the primary goal of the evening was to recruit talent to Neuralink.
The use of animals, however, has angered activists. The company has acknowledged that a monkey had died during the testing process. “We do everything we possibly can with rigorous benchtop testing so we’re not cavalier about putting devices into animals,” Musk said Wednesday. The core idea behind Neuralink brings up numerous ethical and sociopolitical questions.
Musk should go first…
what could go right?
Given his authoritarian leanings and general lack of empathy or understanding of his effect on the tech industry and the wider society, the idea of Elon Musk pioneering this technology is especially chilling.
So it's kind of like a smart phone?
If elonmusk implanted a chip into it would be better.
He’s not the one actually inventing these things, he is just buying into them & investing in the actual intelligent people. How about showing that whole team of actual smart people, not just the wealthy?
You’re in the process of losing $44 billion and you’re focusing on something else. Wow.
Don’t think so. Thanks but no
Strange, first conspiracy nutcases ala Q-Anons and Co invent fantasy stories that Gates is planning something like that. But with Musk, who then actually implements it, he is celebrated by them.
Is this the new monkey killer 4000?
He can't even run a company. Time serious journalists investigate all his many fake claims. He's nothing but another Trump. elonmuskisadisgrace
