Yeah, just talked to my wife about this. Imagine what good someone with Musks resources could do. Instead he chooses to go pull up the ladder behind him and making life more difficult for everyone
If he was a good person he wouldn’t have the resources in the first place…
This is what capitalism does by design. Resources accumulate upward until some entity forcibly redistributes it (government, populous revolution, etc). It is a system that always leads to the detriment of the many for the vanity and power of the few it deems “winners.”
It is so weird that the article repeatedly acknowledges that this isn’t really unique and other companies and researchers are doing the same, but they’re only covering this one because it relates to Musk. What is it about Musk that makes every little thing he does “newsworthy”?
Probably paid them to do the article
It makes people click.
Richest man in the world. It’s like why was Windows so big when Linux was right there? Or why does Xbox get a push despite being inferior in every metric to Playstation?
Probably because musk killed a bunch of monkeys in the process of creating it.
Sure, that’s just what I’d want, a mind-reading chip installed by Musk, what could go wrong?
On the one had I’d love to be excited about the technology and on the other hand it is a privacy nightmare I know I will experience in my lifetime…
When tech reaches a certain point of adoption it is no longer optional for anyone wanting to actively participate in society. Try going without a smartphone these days for example, I did for a few years and I struggled with paying some bills, paying in popup stores that used apps for payment, managing certain subscriptions, communicating in platform specific chat groups (this is something you do out of necessity more often than you’d think…). Eventually, not having some level of BCI will probably not be an option anymore.
I really want to click things with my mind but I really don’t want people like Musk literally in my mind… Can I self host one? /s
