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 10 months ago

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

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

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 21 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

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

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 5 points 10 months 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".

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months 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.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

at the end of the day, youre still trusting them

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Them who? I ain't trusting nobody.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Ghost in the Shell is rapidly becoming a documentary.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] imnotfromkaliningrad@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

they tried to warn us

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

epic misquote bro

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 5 points 10 months 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.
