Suddenly this makes way more sense
I can hear this picture
Valve bros dont need to worry about what happens in life after gaben, because I think gaben is going to ascend to cyberspace before the end.
Him and Kurzweil just hanging out on the same subnet.
Portal 2 was a road map
That’s… Not a very promising roadmap…
Ohh…eh.
2019 left me with the impression Starfish was wireless.
Sticking stuff into my brain isn’t on my to-do list.
The startup here is making stuff for medical conditions, not games.
That’s fine and might be beneficial medically one day, but I was under the impression Gabe was also interested in using this tech for VR/AR too eventually.
Where is the
GithubGitea/forgejo/CodeBerg/etc repo? OSHW certification?Until then unfortunately it’s “just” Gabe’s fanboyism. Better learn from open academic research or OSHW projects.
“Now, if you’re part of Control Group Kepler-Seven, we implanted a tiny microchip about the size of a postcard into your skull. Most likely you’ve forgotten it’s even there, but if it starts vibrating and beeping during this next test, let us know, because that means it’s about to hit five hundred degrees, so we’re gonna need to go ahead and get that out of you pretty fast.” - Cave Johnson
Props to him for trying it himself instead of having someone else do it and take all the risk
Valve CEO Gabe Newell pretends to get a hole drilled into his head for a brain-computer interface.
“has long toyed with the idea that your brain should be more connected to your PC”
seems like billionaires’ wet dream to be honest
But imagine how easy it would be to

Karen Sandler did a great talk on closed source software medical devices many years ago.

This even more the case if it’s your brain! It probably won’t work for decades, but we should get house in order long before it does.
Like https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete shown or https://www.vox.com/unexplainable/411102/neuroscience-technology-consumer-products-safety-maintenance more recently or the older 2010 paper “Predictors of Assistive Technology Abandonment” https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10400435.1993.10132205 ?
Don’t be negative, it’s all good! /s
Right to repair, and openness, is absolute must for devices being put into peoples bodies. The fight seams to not even started yet. Most people are completely asleep to issues right now.
HL3 is going to be launched with Valve’s brain chip.
They don’t even have to make the game. The chip will convince you that you have already played the game and it’s the best game ever.

The headcrabs feel like headcrabs!
Headlines you didn’t expect to read. Rather a Gabe chip than at Musk chip for sure
how about both of them fuck off and stop shoving their proprietary tech in our heads, just a thought
Is there an open source equivalent then?
i don’t know, but for any possible positive use for it, the only legal way must be open source, or else we’re in deus ex territory.
i know fuckwits like elon cannot see past aesthetics so they think it’s cool but brain chips are as close the Torment Nexus as we can possibly get.
The reality of funding is probably going to mean that open source is off the table.
I’m with you, Elon Musk is a life lesson into why key services such as internet or brain computer interfaces should not be in the hands on the few. Path seems set unfortunately as too much money is on the table.
Valve did contribute quite a bit to OSS iirc
oh sorry just open up my asshole then
I’m not sure that that’s the optimal route to the brain. I’m not a brain doctor though, for all I know suppository-style brain chips are the way to go.
They should make a big facility to test the implants
Maybe have an AI overseer, they could name it Gladys
Yperating System?
You’d need people to solve puzzles to really put the implant through its paces. Something involving blocks should be sufficiently simple to play around with while having lots of variation.
Last time I checked, the “brain implants” looked like this:
In this heeadline: Neuralink’s Competitor Recieves Prototype
in this thread: Gabe Crazy
"As part of your onboarding process, we’re just going to implant your Company ID. That way, for your safety, we’ll always know where you are. If you hear a buzzing sound, that means return to the office immediately. Reduced work speed will produce a mild reminder shock.
“Welcome to the Corporation.”
Reminder shock is amazing LMAO
Maybe they could use the implanted chip to wall off your non-work side when you enter your office so you’re not distracted and fully focused on your job.
Then when you leave your work side gets blocked off so you can leave work at work. Automatic work/life balance.
Not sure if it was intentional but you just summarized the show Severance.
It was. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Project deckard. Gamers are getting the chip to run games inside their brains.
