Just install debian on it.

You can't, hardcoded, it's a chip, connected to Musk servers via Google

Yeah, but what are electrolytes?

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

They are what ~~maximizes shareholder value~~ plants crave, ofc!

And what is it that plants crave? Why, electrolytes ofc!

You barely can control cursor with your brain, it is impossible for the chip to control what you see. Maybe in a century...

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago

Ah, no need to be so pessimistic. I'd give it another decade or two.

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

It's been several centuries and yet the brain is still a big mystery for the humanity. I don't think 2 decades would be enough. I'm not saying that I'm against cool technologies, but such a progress is hard to imagine being done so "soon".

Technological progress follows an exponential curve, why would this be any different?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Technological progress can follow an exponential curve. It doesn't have to. Which is why we're still using the same basic pacemakers that were invented in the 1950s. Nothing better has been invented for people who have the sort of heart conditions that require pacemakers.

Yeah, you're right, it's more of an S-curve for any particular technology. But I doubt we've seen the climax of brain-machine-interfaces.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I hope not for the sake of paralyzed people and the like, but I wouldn't trust an Elon Musk company to be the one to do it.

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Just feels unimaginable. But it's interesting to see what the future will bring us.

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I'm massively optimistic about the rate of tech development, I think we'll have some really world changing things in twenty years but I really cant see brain implanted AR being a thing for a long time

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It won't stop people from trying all sort of shit even if we don't know how the human brain works.

[-] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

And you will never need more than 640kb of ram. :)

[-] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Every piece of new technology is impossible until it suddenly isn't anymore

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

What is your benchmark for success? A brain chip that can augment reality? In my opinion the real potential for a brain chip is more of a technology to expand accessibility to people who can't control their bodies. Also in my opinion, no one should trust Elon Musk or anything he makes so Neural Link I don't think highly of. The potential to provide people with severe mobility challenges another means to interact with the world is something worth developing. That I can see happening in a decade or two. A general purpose brain chip, yeah a hundred years plus, if ever.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Under capitalism? I wouldn’t trust any sort of tech implant. I say that from the comfort of my full physical faculties, so maybe it’d be different if I couldn’t, but Jesus I cannot imagine being at the whim of any tech company.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

at the end of the day, youre still trusting them

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Them who? I ain't trusting nobody.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

neuralink. and im not directing this at you specifically, but anyone who will get the implant, believing that it's read-only

[-] FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Ghost in the Shell is rapidly becoming a documentary.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

"For long-term memories, please sign up for Neuralink Blue. Only $8 a month!"

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Can't wait to be able to "hack" asshole people randomly, a permanent rick roll is only the tip of the iceberg

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

Preferable to ads, which I assume is the profit incentive to ever develop the technology in the first place.

[-] BigMoe@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

Never thought I’d imagine Captain Babosa as a cyber punk pirate, but here we are

[-] imnotfromkaliningrad@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

they tried to warn us

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

who needs a neuralink chip when just looking at the pictures in this meme caused the song to start playing in my head

epic misquote bro

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

When Elon didnt want to path the xz backdoor so you get remote-rickrolled

This is very tame compared to what we'll actually see. Hope you're ready for goatsie burning a hole in your retinas/mind's eye.
