I think it's a good thing. I mean, decent normal people aren't going to get it, it'll just be the troglodytes that still worship Musk. I really don't care what happens to those cretins.

The very idea of connecting neruons to electronics is an old science fiction dream/nightmare. I doubt it has any use in reality.

We already have several very effective ways of influencing the brain through ordinary sensory inputs. There's no reason to invent a new input for the brain.

I doubt it has any use in reality.

Some possible future use cases would be things like:

  • Restoring Mobility: Bypassing spinal cord damage to regain limb control.

  • Treating Neurological Disorders: Modulating brain activity for conditions like Parkinson’s or epilepsy.

  • Restoring Vision and Hearing: Bypassing damaged pathways to directly stimulate the brain.

  • Enhancing Communication: Translating thoughts into speech for those with severe impairments.

  • Prosthetic Control: Enabling natural movement with brain-controlled prosthetics.

  • Treating Mental Health: Targeting brain circuits to manage depression or PTSD.

  • Memory Restoration: Helping those with memory loss, like in Alzheimer’s.
