"Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," Musk added. Reuters reported earlier this month that Neuralink was fined for violating U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rules regarding the movement of hazardous materials.
I don’t understand owning a computer that you don’t fully control but using prosthetics that can be remotely disabled? This is why we need true open source GPL brain implants.
I’m daily driving Linux. And, frankly, for my eye implant, I’ll probably buy from apple.
I mean, no, I will buy something else, jailbreak foss it, will have to patch it while being blind from an update, and proudly tell everyone no friggin government will be able to backdoor my eye. But oh boy I’ll wish I bought one from apple, cuz those guys never go blind from updates.
Yeah, like this is technology I’ve wanted since I was a kid, the stuff I wish people were talking about when they say VR, instead of screens you wear on your head and motion-detection controllers. Video games are a lot better when they are dynamic and current VR tech can’t really do that yet.
But that said, I’ll die never experiencing that before trusting anything Elon Musk is involved with.
Probably get a unit w/o having it implanted, modify it, then get it installed unofficially. (Don’t ask who or where, because that won’t be shared publicly, as it will almost certainly be illegal).
I don’t care who makes it I’m not putting absolutely proprietary software in my brain
What’s the worst that could happen?
Oh

Or when you do go blind the ceo will just say you are holding your iEye in the wrong spot.
iBall
Aye-aye
Aye aye captain

What happens if your brain implant is like a phone, and stops getting updates after 2 or so years? That’d suck really bad.
Then I’m jailbreaking my brain implant and installing Linux on it
The bootloaders gonna be locked.
It can only stay locked for so long
You gonna open up your brain to flash the ROM?

Can it run Doom?
That’s all it runs.
What if it’s FOSS
Then it wouldn’t be absolutely proprietary
Holy smokes it wouldn’t be??
I know shocking
