"Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," Musk added. Reuters reported earlier this month that Neuralink was fined for violating U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials.

      Yeah, like this is technology I’ve wanted since I was a kid, the stuff I wish people were talking about when they say VR, instead of screens you wear on your head and motion-detection controllers. Video games are a lot better when they are dynamic and current VR tech can’t really do that yet.

      But that said, I’ll die never experiencing that before trusting anything Elon Musk is involved with.

      What happens if your brain implant is like a phone, and stops getting updates after 2 or so years? That’d suck really bad.

                Probably get a unit w/o having it implanted, modify it, then get it installed unofficially. (Don’t ask who or where, because that won’t be shared publicly, as it will almost certainly be illegal).

        I don’t understand owning a computer that you don’t fully control but using prosthetics that can be remotely disabled? This is why we need true open source GPL brain implants.

          This isn’t a prosthetic that was remotely disabled, this is failing hardware that doesn’t have support from the original company which is in the process of going bankrupt.

          I get where you’re coming from, and agree. Prosthesis and health devices should absolutely not be remotely controllable by a company. But you can’t really help a company shutting down.

          And I highly doubt there are any open source implants which help sure blindness that are ready for prime time.

            But still, if the technology is open, then someone may design some compatible replacement hardware. Imagine some makers community rig a replacement for the blind without carrying about profitability.

              That’s one aspect, absolutely.

              The other side of that coin though, is if you really want random people tinkering with things directly attached to your body, without having a proper way to test beforehand?

              These types of devices need to go through testing before they reach human trials for a reason. While I’m happy to trust security of data and even control of my while home to FOSS communities, I honestly don’t know that I’d trust anonymous individuals online with no skin in the game with my literal body.

                Yeah, that’s a legitimate concern, but letting this technology die along with a dying company is a waste. Imagine it getting brought by some patent trolls who wouldn’t do anything with it.

          I’m daily driving Linux. And, frankly, for my eye implant, I’ll probably buy from apple.

          I mean, no, I will buy something else, jailbreak foss it, will have to patch it while being blind from an update, and proudly tell everyone no friggin government will be able to backdoor my eye. But oh boy I’ll wish I bought one from apple, cuz those guys never go blind from updates.

      If he hasn’t gotten an implant when it moves beyond solving medical problems to being a consumer device that an everyday person would be able to buy, that’d be really telling.

      But until then that’s not how it works. They need approval to do trials on very specific things, such as working with quadriplegics.

      We’re probably decades away from non trials for only medical purposes.
