On paper this could be good for treating neurological disorders. The reality is that capitalists own this tech and like any advancement they have control of, only the worst case scenario is likely if it takes off.

Just don’t forget to pay for your anti-virus software. The free version will compel you to spout an ad every 10 min in a conversation.

There are already all kinds of implants for treating various problems with the nervous system, all decades ahead of :melon-musk:s moneky murdering chip. What we can already do is pretty cool - low resolution cybernetic eyes, nerve stimulators to help paraplegic people poor reliably, some telemetry stuff. And there’s talk about maybe being able to actually repair severed nerves soon. As always Musk is justa. Hype man and a carnival barker, peddling his below average product louder than anyone else.
