    given Tesla’s trackrecord, paraplegics beware!
    obviously other ways get less coverage because it’s not as excitingly scifi as propping metal in your brain, but I think I would rather a CTRL-Labs armwrist even if it is owned by Facebook
    if you’re excited about this kind of stuff I would recommend reading more about OpenBCI, or y’know, anything that already has results within moving things with a thought.
    I would sooner look to VR (as soon as we get commercial batteries that can keep up) to be the replacement ‘second brain’ for a computer if we’re talking about the idea he once talked about accessing the internet from anywhere

    If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still take several years, potentially more than a decade, for the start-up to secure commercial use clearance, experts earlier told Reuters. The company is also competing with other neurotech companies which have already implanted their devices in people.

    like idk journalists should stop talking about Neuralink, all it does is risk stocks related to Musk go up, though this one is soberingly skeptical.
