Just The News: Billionaire investor and tech luminary Elon Musk this week demonstrated technology he said could one day give human beings the ability to practice telepathy and even overcome chronic conditions like paralysis.
Musk on Friday presented a device that he said was like “a Fitbit in your skull,” developed by the company Neuralink, which Musk co-founded in 2016.
In the demonstration, which was broadcast online, Musk presented the brain chip as a technology that could, among other things, “save and replay memories,” cure blindness and even give people “superhuman vision.” more here
Uh, no thanks.
Any volunteers for the Beta testing?
Christoper Reeves is available for testing….
I nominate bill and melinda gates as the first test subjects. Since they seem so anxious to test their vaccines on us, let’s see them show us how civic minded they are.
Ir will allow one to make popcorn without a popper.
Human 2.0?
I hate to burst Musk’s and all the other megalomaniacs’ bubble, but it never ends well when you think you are bigger and smarter than God
I actually read one report that claimed that implanting the devise was a simple procedure, only took a few minutes and in many cases wouldn’t require ANESTHETIC.
The implant is installed by removing a small circle of scull bone.
OK you first!
Is it lithium battery powered?
Since this device requires one to actually HAVE a brain, it is clearly discriminatory to Liberals and Leftists.
I watched a clip of him on stage discussing it. He seemed to be having an awfully hard time expressing himself. Probably high AF
I would like one that can solve math problems of every type. Plus, it should have a huge, persistent scratch pad memory that works with my visual cortex. AND! It should be able to dump solutions and graphics to my computer.
I guess I just want a better brain, not that this one didn’t work fairly well over the years.
Can he first get his ‘self-driving’ cars to work without crashing?
I admire innovative men of vision that think outside the box. Knowledge always moves forward and God intended it that way, to be curious, hungry, to better oneself and the community.
Artificial intelligence, gene editing, DNA sequencing, genetically modified foods for better yield, insect resistance, and shelf life, we live in exciting times.
The very thought that the world’s basket of knowledge could be accessed by everyone with a mouse click and an internet connection, remarkable. And only in USA could most of this happen.
I’ll wait for the Gen2 hack-proof version, if you please.
Even if you DON’T please.
Government-administered mind control in 3…2…1…
I just had the procedure done a week ago. Other than donating my life savings to the Southern Poverty Law Center I haven’t experienced any side effects. I’ll give it a thumbs up!
“Resistance is futile …..”
Still not as significant as the development of Viagra.
Now people will know EXACTLY what I think of them with no filter. Guess my CCW will be used routinely on liberals.
Test it on Joe and Jill. Then she can sense when it’s changing time.
There’s a fine line between being a visionary and being a sel-promoting film-flam charlatan.
Where did you get that brain, Igor?
Brain implant could one day used to cure individualism is what they’re really looking for.
Doctor: “I think We botched that one”
Nurse: “How can You tell?”
Patient: “How bout those Mets?”
( I just couldn’t bring Myself to use the Cubbies)
Mary Shelley predicted the outcome of this sort of thing in 1818. It didn’t end well.
If you bump your head, does it burst into flames?
Welcome to the Borg, no effin way.

Yeah, the first thing I thought of was “Calling Dr. Frankenstein”.
