Captain Barbossa: "Ye best start believing in Cyberpunk stories, cuz ye'll be living in one."

This is very tame compared to what we'll actually see. Hope you're ready for goatsie burning a hole in your retinas/mind's eye.

who needs a neuralink chip when just looking at the pictures in this meme caused the song to start playing in my head

I'm never getting a brain chip.

You need one or we'll have to let you go from our company, thank you for your understanding

Just install debian on it.

You can't, hardcoded, it's a chip, connected to Musk servers via Google

You barely can control cursor with your brain, it is impossible for the chip to control what you see. Maybe in a century...

photonic_sorcerer , 2 months ago

Ah, no need to be so pessimistic. I'd give it another decade or two.

Andrew15_5 , 2 months ago

It's been several centuries and yet the brain is still a big mystery for the humanity. I don't think 2 decades would be enough. I'm not saying that I'm against cool technologies, but such a progress is hard to imagine being done so "soon".

photonic_sorcerer , 2 months ago

Technological progress follows an exponential curve, why would this be any different?

Andrew15_5 , 2 months ago

Just feels unimaginable. But it's interesting to see what the future will bring us.

VirtualOdour , 2 months ago

I'm massively optimistic about the rate of tech development, I think we'll have some really world changing things in twenty years but I really cant see brain implanted AR being a thing for a long time

FlyingSquid , 2 months ago

Technological progress can follow an exponential curve. It doesn't have to. Which is why we're still using the same basic pacemakers that were invented in the 1950s. Nothing better has been invented for people who have the sort of heart conditions that require pacemakers.

photonic_sorcerer , 2 months ago

Yeah, you're right, it's more of an S-curve for any particular technology. But I doubt we've seen the climax of brain-machine-interfaces.

FlyingSquid , 2 months ago

I hope not for the sake of paralyzed people and the like, but I wouldn't trust an Elon Musk company to be the one to do it.

Croquette , 2 months ago

It won't stop people from trying all sort of shit even if we don't know how the human brain works.

InputZero , 2 months ago

What is your benchmark for success? A brain chip that can augment reality? In my opinion the real potential for a brain chip is more of a technology to expand accessibility to people who can't control their bodies. Also in my opinion, no one should trust Elon Musk or anything he makes so Neural Link I don't think highly of. The potential to provide people with severe mobility challenges another means to interact with the world is something worth developing. That I can see happening in a decade or two. A general purpose brain chip, yeah a hundred years plus, if ever.

TheFriar , 2 months ago

Under capitalism? I wouldn’t trust any sort of tech implant. I say that from the comfort of my full physical faculties, so maybe it’d be different if I couldn’t, but Jesus I cannot imagine being at the whim of any tech company.

neuralink. and im not directing this at you specifically, but anyone who will get the implant, believing that it's read-only
