    Don’t really like the guy but the implants are for people with disabilities that stop/hinder their ability to interact with the digital world, which is certainly fun and exciting for those who want that ability. It’s a shame Musk is the figurehead for many of these projects because his brand is dirt to anyone that isn’t neck deep in blockchain, AGI, culture war, and general scam content.

      They’ve existed for decades but required a “helmet” like device.

      There’s no people waiting for this who can’t use the existing and safe tech.

      We were literally doing this with monkeys 50 years ago, and Musk killed all his monkey subjects because they couldn’t even do basic brain surgery in a sterilized lab

      Now he wants to do it to humans.

        In less than a day of training, both participants broke the record of all previous implants for a game which tests your ability to select items In a grid

        Today, Nolan would probably beat you at that game even with you practicing for (edit quite) a bit.

        Hate the man if you want but this isn’t the same tech that anyone can get and use that’s 50y old.
