Neuralink

I really don't know why people are so impressed by Elon Musks antics. What huge leaps for mankind has space x made? Have his electric cars brought affordable electric motoring to the masses? Did PayPal revolutionise the banking industry?

This new enterprise of his will go the same way:

  • There will be lots of discussion about possible outcomes
  • People will argue about the ethics
  • Musk will plough a ton of money into it
  • Nothing will change, but a few rich people will have electronic implants and feel like superior humans.
 
I look forward to your poo-poo'ing when they map the right neural connections and reconnect them using the wires to restore a paraplegics legs or a blind persons optic nerve so they can see again. I can already hear cries of 'it's blind genocide!'

This is the 'playing Snake on Nokia 3310' stage, and we moved on from that quite quickly.

Some pretty stunning advances on the bionic limb side recently - combined with something like this would take things to another level.
 
Wow - that's incredible. Monkey programmed using food to act in a predictable fashion so a computer can predict it's next move... Outstanding.

That's not what's happening though, the computer isn't predicting anything. Did you watch the video? It's been trained to create an input to a program after analysing the correlation between the real input and the corresponding brain activity.
 
Port bitcoin algorithm to work on brain architecture, wonder what kind of hashrate you could get.

Is this how the Matrix starts? Banks of people in china with implants running bitcoin farm programs..
