All swords have two edges. And the sharper they get...

Creeps me out.

Wait until the chicoms get ahold of it. They’ll be able to siphon out any information out of any dissident’s mind that they want, and re-educate them instantly.

This sounds like a way to control A robotic arm. Rather than something like,”raise shoulder to 45°, rotate arm 10°, flex elbow 45°, turn hand 90°, open hand”, you would simply think, “ Put hand there “.
It doesn’t really matter if the arm is attached to you or not.

I think they are lying to us. As a software engineer, we use smoke and mirrors all the time to get funding and customers. We basically fake it until we make it some time down the road. I call BS

In 10 years, people with a Neuralink may be unbeatable versus ordinary human reflexes in FPS video games. Which will cause some of the hardcore gamers to see this as a necessity, like a gaming mouse or a high-end graphics card.

Our brains have an ability to rapidly get used to using a few simple I/O lines...

-neuroplasticity
-ideomotor response

The I/O can be a direct neural link at the spine/brain or a more mundane connection. A paralyzed patient can generally still utilize locations on the head and neck... a sort of muscle memory soon becomes established and whatever the I/O lines are connected to soon become a part of them... i.e. a remote piezoelectric pressure sensor can become just like the tip of a finger..

I remember an interesting study in the 90's where bald guys were used as test subjects for study along these lines... without hair the glops of conductive jelly would not be as messy as it is with a head of hair..lol

A fully functional neural interface and buffer is the holy grail of this technology and also of the early work that is going on with life-extension and remote avatar control.

You will be like God. Gosh that turned out well. The quest to be a personal Tower of Babel is vanity. Death is certain and the rubble of civilization upon civilization is proof of that vanity.
What matters is beyond the grave. He is risen, indeed.

Sounds like great tech for the paralyzed. But maybe not for the 15 year old boy with two mom’s.
